If I were such an evil person, would you give me any grace? Would you even visit or talk to me? I doubt if you would even dare send me an email.
I understand that Max Rapoport was even worse than John Ingalls.  |
Too funny Ohio. On a serious note, it is sad so many people bought into it. To date, not one has ever been able to offer a reasonable and logical explanation where John's "ambition" was from 1962-1988. I don't buy the notion John woke up one day and suddenly became "rebellious" and "ambitious". Rebellious against who? If being under the headship of Christ is to be rebellious, there may be a point. There's other brothers who fit this suggestion. John is merely one of the more prominent and polarizing brothers from local church history. Having gone from one of the most respected brothers in the Recovery to Public Enemy #1. Ironically FTTA trainees have been to John's home without knowing the brother before them, his ambition is to minister Christ.
I'm sure when Max was at Francis Ball's memorial service, it was not a case of the blendeds not recognizing Max, but a case of shunning Max. Obviously for Max to have worked the Vern Defromke, Bill Mallon, John Ingalls, Paul Kerr, and Stephen Kaung, on a Christian publication, there must have been reconciliation and restoration between the brothers.
