The Spirit and Mindset of Those Posting
Shaparenko’s Materials
Paul wrote to Stephen, who posted a segment of Shaparenko’s material:
Hi Stephen,
In the article you copied and posted on this forum it mentions Victor
Hafichuk as follows:
“Others, like Victor Hafichuk, are very coy, not wanting people to know
exactly ‘where they are coming from’ and probably happy
for all the welter of opinions and individuals involved...for it
allows them to hide and be all over the map at the same time.”
There is no coyness. The author of the article simply does not understand
what we preach, so he has mistakenly associated us with others based
on hearing a few words that sounded similar. We are not associated
with, nor do we follow, Eby and the others mentioned in the article.
We have nothing to do with them. In fact, we take issue with their
spirit as manifest in their followers in a special section on our site:
Universalism
To hear the “rest of the story,” here is our correspondence
with the man whose article you cite:

You should be familiar with what those you criticize are actually
saying, otherwise you may be found to be opposing the Truth along
with those you follow. The bottom line, Stephen, is you cannot live
off of another’s oil, much less his poison. You need to know
the Truth for yourself.
Paul Cohen
Stephen’s reply:
Let me tell you something. I have over 40 years of “oil” and
can read and discern anyone’s writings and their doctrines for
reference. Anyone with a solid, comprehensive, and correct rendering
of the scriptures can do this. I know how to pick the worms out of
the apple. So what is your point? What questions do you have for me?
Stephen
Paul’s reply:
Stephen, I hear you testifying of yourself, a solitary witness that
is not backed by another. Your fruits certainly do not corroborate
your claims to discernment. If you stand behind this posting regardless
of the facts, you not only do not recognize worms, but you have consumed
a whole pile of them like a bowl of spaghetti.
Stephen’s reply:
I really do not care what you think and you can cease sending e-mails
unless you have something worth while to talk about. Otherwise I will
not respond.
Paul’s reply:
I have already given you much that is worthwhile. It is your deficient
powers of discernment that prevent you from knowing or finding out.
“Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you would have no sin.
But now you say, We see. Therefore your sin remains” (John 9:41
MKJV).
Stephen’s reply:
You failed the test. No more PMs. If you do I will report you.
