What do you do when the Jesus freak who

started your church dies from AIDS?

Simple. Erase him from history.

A very provocative and interesting article about the upcoming movie about Lonnie Frisbee.

I looked 4 or 5 pages at the site and found it to be somewhat interesting... but to be honest from my opinion it doesn't appear to be much more there than your usual religious hypocrisy. I suppose for some who is searching for truth in recent American evangelical movements this might be considered a breakthrough.

Hmm, this is coming off as a put-down...
I am glad that you posted it, knowledge is a good thing, films are good things. If it happens to make its way to the rep theatre where I have a membership then I'll check it out.

Well, I do miss the old Rep theatres in both Montreal & Toronto.

My point is that many christians come down on people that are gay or lesbian. I think that it is interesting that it would seem that God used someone who was gay to do great acts. Might it be that the gay and lesbian issue might not be such a big issue to God? Might it be that maybe God is more concerned with people who have indiscriminant sex and that two individuals in a loving, mutually caring committed relationship may be something good? (I know this might not be a reflection of the case of Frisbee). I guess that the incredible thing is that the whole thing blows my mind. Very interesting!

I have never met Lonnie Frisbee, but I have met many people who knew him in the early days of the Vineyard. I have a background in Calvary Chapel and worked with a Christian Social Organization that had an amiable relationship with the Vineyard church.

I met a few of the so called prophets, "Paul Cain and Bob Jones". Both men were praised as being great prophets and men of God. I will not say if they are or are not. My director had me spend a day with Paul Cain once and I did not sense anything other than the mundane.

In both of these characters it was learnt that they were involved in homosexual activity and alcoholism.

Calvary Chapel grew because they accepted the long-haired hippie types into their congregation. They had exchanged the hymns for a contemporary Christian Sound; The Way, Maranatha and the like. They were laid back and fit well into contemporary culture. They were open to "Signs and Wonders." In fact, Wimber and Peter Wagner had a class at Fuller Theological Seminary called "Signs and Wonders which was one of the most popular classes on campus and went on for years. There was a hunger to see the manifest power of God. People wanted to see the "reality of it all' They wanted to see lives change. Shiloh sprung out of that which was more like Christian communes than anything else.
It was in this transforming time that Lonnie was in the picture.

It is quite an interesting history, but in that history it can be quite messy and carnal. ok



I am no longer a part of all of that.

This link tells of Paul Cain: the New Testament Prophets Apology" This was after he was found out: This is recent and he was the most famous in those circles.

THis is about Bob Jones, not from Bob Jones University, but quite popular in the church circles where Lonnie Frisbee was known.

Thanks for posting that information. BTW, I recently read that the film was nominated for an Emmy in the best documentary category. I've yet to see it, but hope to one day, soon. Has anybody seen it? Any opinions on it?

Cheers!
