Bible Note: Joe, I’m sorry you don’t like my manner of speech. I am only attempting to be correct. *Bigotry - The acts or beliefs characteristic of a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her opinions and prejudices.* I was addressing all who had become precisely as described in the above definition. If you feel that I was speaking of you, then perhaps you are correct. I have never studied under Rome. My naming Martin Luther as an heretic was to exemplify the bandying about of the term. He was, if you remember, pronounced heretic. I do not consider him to be any more heretic than our brave Arminian brother. Truly, you seem to consider yourself more discerning and more aware than anybody with a different view. The record of your righteousness is duly noted. Do you afford the same righteousness to others in Christ Jesus? Are we not included in the blessings of Galatians 2:20, Philippians 3:8 and 9, and Titus 3:5? I believe these verses are Christian, not Calvinist. I see that you are wide awake, and appreciate the power of your convictions. Praise the Lord! |
