DL Foster and His Own Credentials

Kevin| Category: Uncategorized | 2 Comments

I just did a post on my own blog about DL Foster and his statement that the tax-free status of a church is ‘voluntary enslavement’ to the government.  I made the point that it appears that DL Foster has voluntarily enslaved himself because his own church has a tax-free status.   

As I was looking up DL Foster’s church tax-free status, I noticed that Guidestar listed the ‘Chief Executive Profile’, who is DL Foster.  One thing I noticed is that his educational credentials are listed.  If you remember, a couple of weeks ago I exposed his own shaky credentials after he made an attack on someone else’s

On his official bio he lists these schools that he went to:

He also furthered his education at the University of Maryland and Liberty University.  Pastor Foster is currently pursuing a B.Th. at Atlanta Bible College. 

I looked at this Atlanta Bible College, and since I had heard of U. of Maryland, I figured I wouldn’t bother looking this university up.  It is well known.  But when I went to the Guidestar description, it listed these schools that DL Foster went to and these were McClennan Community College, Liberty University, and the University of Maryland (European Campus). 

Now look at the difference–his official church bio lists University of Maryland.  But his Guidestar description lists U. of Maryland (European Campus). I thought this sounded fishy, so I did a Google search for it and since DL Foster attacked Bishop Wyatt using a Wikipedia article, I decided to read what Wikipedia had to say about this U. of Maryland, European campus:

The University of Maryland University College (UMUC), located in the unincorporated community of Adelphi in Prince George’s County, Maryland in the United States, is the second-largest university in Maryland. The University in its entirety has one focus: the educational needs of the non-traditional student. UMUC is a separate institution from the well-known University of Maryland located in College Park, MD.

I have bolded and underlined that last sentence–the school he lists on his official bio is NOT the University of Maryland, but the University of Maryland University College.  It sounds like the good reverend is actively trying to fool people about his education (and this is what he was trying to point out in his attack on Bishop Dr. Wyatt). 

University of Maryland University College does have facilities in Europe:

In Europe and Asia, UMUC delivers graduate and undergraduate classes on military sites for active-duty service members, government employees, and their families. The university is a global institution that offers on-site, instructor-led classes at over 110 overseas US military bases in 23 countries throughout the world through its European and Asian Divisions, including some USCENTCOM installations. UMUC administrative facilities are located on Yokota Air Base, Tokyo, Japan and in Heidelberg, Germany near United States Army Garrison Heidelberg.

But IT IS NOT the University of Maryland as DL Foster has on his official Church biography.  Now why is that?  Foster attacked Wyatt for phony credentials (if that is really true) but now it has come to light that DL Foster’s credentials are not quite what he states they are.  Maybe it is time for DL Foster to come clean about his educational credentials and tell the truth–especially since he demands it from other people.

Gays, Lesbians, DL Foster and Nigeria

Kevin| Category: Uncategorized | 3 Comments

A couple of weeks ago I blogged about how some members of the U.S. Episcopal Church have decided they want to align themselves up with “Archbishop” Akinola of Nigeria.  Akinola is the one of the people from Africa that is demanding that gays and lesbians be purged from the church (well, that is alt least his intent).  Now one of his new bishops (which he ordained), Isaac Orama, is taking up the cause.  In an interview on Nigerian tv, the good bishop had this to say:

“It is scaring that any one should be involved in a thing like that and I want to say that they will not escape the wrath of God.” He said that the practice, which has worsened over the years, was “unbiblical and against God’s purpose for creating man.

Homosexuality and lesbianism are inhuman. Those who practice them are insane, satanic and are not fit to live because they are rebels to God’s purpose for man.”

What is especially scary about this is that Bishop Orama said he is taking this fight to the U.S.  His reasoning?:

“The aim of such fight is to provide a safe place for those who want to remain faithful Anglicans and Biblical Christians.”

So he states that gays and lesbians are not fit to live, and yet he wants to stop them to ‘provide a safe place for those who want to remain faithful Anglicans and Biblical Christians”?  So kill us off so that Episcopalians can be safe???  You have to wonder if this bishop actually thinks before he speaks. I doubt it.  For more on this see BoxTurtleBulletin.

And if you think that the idea that gays and lesbians are Satanic is non-existent in the U.S., think again.  Just a few days ago DL Foster, at his website, Gay Christian Movement Watch, did a little expose on Satan.  His first paragraph reads (I have done the underlining and bolding):
