>>507977691>>507977691i agree that truly egregious people need to be punished. i can tell you don't know about pastor anderson and thats okay. its a shame that he's been slandered so badly. and i'm sure he made personal mistakes which contributed to that. nevertheless i respect him and appreciate the work he's done for God
pastor anderson became extremely popular on youtube for hard preaching and controversial sermons. he emphasized OSAS and helped lead many, many people to a clear knowledge of the gospel, myself included. this was back in the open internet era that i grew up with, this brief window when the internet infrastructure was well developed and well distributed and still relatively free
pastor anderson was reaching hundreds of millions of people, many of whom had never heard a sermon in their lives but were interested and captivated by his distinctive preaching style. then he was banned by Youtube, one of the first people banned, seriously, on the onset of the modern mass- censorship era
that's why i know him, it's why thousands of other anons on this site know him, and its why pretty much every baptist preacher has heard about him (often to their chagrin)
so we should respect him, he has been a hero, he helped, i would guess, contribute to millions of people getting saved, either directly or indirectly, and he did the world a service. i thank God for him. and whether or not he keeps preaching, i'll always value the fantastic biblical preaching that he shared with the world
