Seems to be a combination of both and at the same time.<BR/><BR/>Johnson’s ego is so huge, and he lives within an aura of theological greatness he has boasted of himself that I think he is unable/unwilling to accept that he is mortal. IMO, this is why he fights and attacks, when humility and repentance would be the reaction of a Spirit-filled man.<BR/><BR/>Antonio da Rosa (aka- <A HREF="http://indefenseofthegospel.blogspot.com/2008/02/sock-puppet.html" REL="nofollow"><B>Sock Puppet: <I>fg me</I></B></A>) has long since destroyed his own reputation, but it took months for him to do it. In 2007 he was caught plagiarizing Hodges. For months da Rosa denied and then dismissed it as no big deal. Then he refused to apologize until he was publicly confronted by the administrator of the blog where he (Antonio) did the plagiarizing. His latest stunt, which ended with his apparently being forced to delete his <I>FGA Leader</I> article is only the latest in a long line of bad behavior choices. See <I><B><A HREF="http://indefenseofthegospel.blogspot.com/2008/04/in-trick-bag.html" REL="nofollow">In the “Trick Bag”</A>.</B></I><BR/><BR/>Mr. Johnson, however, destroyed his credibility and reputation in one fell swoop. Any chance for recovery of his reputation and testimony has been lost by his ultra-combative reaction.<BR/><BR/>My point is that the behavior, character and reputation of the <I>Crossless</I> men is in free fall.<BR/><BR/>They are their own worst enemies and blight on the name of Christ.<BR/><BR/><BR/>LouLou Martuneachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08683967904677815711noreply@blogger.com
