Pastor Killed, Beaten With Electric Guitar
You haven’t offended me at all, and I’m sorry if I gave you that impression. I also apologize if what I said was an offense to you.
I went back and re-read the article, and obviously, I missed where it was an “associate minister” who made the comment about hugs. That would obviously put a different light on the situation than I originally thought.

You didn’t offend me. I don’t really care. I would just urge caution and realize that it is likely that not everyone was interviewed, and other people might say different things (or might not … we don’t know).
In times of grief, people generally think about certain things. It is unlikely that the first thing that comes to mind in a tragic death is that he was a great defender of truth when he preached. And it is unlikely that a newspaper would print that, even if it was said.

If John MacArthur died, what do you think the members of his church are most likely to say about him?
