Member AD has been restricted by myself for posting something from a user who has posted untrue and negative things about the original creator and owner of Ape Mountain, my brother.

Here’s the deal: I don’t care what anyone struggles with, I don’t care how many times they struggle with something…the struggle with sin and acceptance of Jesus Christ proves the point of the Gospel message. Otherwise, logically, the conclusion is “I can do this without Christ, therefore He is unnecessary”, which is literally ANTI-CHRIST. Everyone here can infer from that what they will.

There were people removed from this group/community today for good reason. I am Reinhardt’s brother, and on the day he is laid to rest I was fielding messages and notes related to people who once claimed to be his “friends” disparaging him and denigrating him, myself, and my family. I will not stand for that. Period.

I genuinely do not care what anyone’s thoughts are. I am in control of a group that was out of control of the original creator for a long time, due to his own admitted exhaustion in dealing with certain members. You’re welcome to disagree, but you’d be wrong in doing so.

Reinhardt was my brother. IS my brother. As family, I have certain rights. As someone who helped him build this, I have more rights than anyone else. If anyone doesn’t like it…leave and find your Scripture based teaching and insights elsewhere. I will not allow Ape Mountain to be a haven for puffed up, over inflated (dare I say “cult like”) egos to rule, as has been the case for a long time (due to Reinhardt’s IRL commitments to his wife, son, and his own personal relationship with the Creator).

No one is perfect. No one is a saint. We all struggle and carry forward. Reinhardt relied consistently on Jesus Christ for his salvation and hope in life, period. Anyone who says any different is a liar. If you want to agree with the liars, you know where they live, and I’m sure you’ll be welcomed with open arms. If you’d like to see something interesting, something different, and something that resembles the Ape Mountain of old…stick around. There will be some differences, but this is the place for Scripture, for prayer, for learning and discussion. No “interpretations by man”, but plain Scripture and Gospel-based teaching. It may not be your specific cup of tea at times, but this group caters to all. Jesus himself hung out with sinners and called them to something greater. We should all strive to follow that example, and Ape Mountain will do so.

I hope to see you here. If that doesn’t sit right with you, you know where the door is. Enjoy wherever you end up, and I pray God continues to bless your life and keeps you close to His bosom, genuinely and sincerely on behalf of Reinhardt and myself.
