But I disagree with your comment that my blog is normally good. :)Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02752373297874435269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970772341265505777.post-53055686806872187482009-06-16T14:03:39.097-07:002009-06-16T14:03:39.097-07:00So I don't want to be a dick, and I know you w...So I don't want to be a dick, and I know you were probably just really frustrated and such, but you complain about the divisions in the church, but then add right to it!<br /><br />It isn't so much that you are tearing down certain denominations (aside from anabaptists, which clearly you have a problem with).<br /><br />What I notice most though, in your writing is the "Us vs. Them" language. <br /><br />You have your side, they have their side, you preface things on their side with the word 'heresy' so that you sound correct, and preface the things on your side with the word 'beloved' or something in latin so you sound nice or smart.<br /><br />Hate to be so blunt, but reading posts like this is in my opinion just adding more fuel to the fire than anything. It is filled with cheap shots and low blows. You label anabaptists as 'condemned' and once you label them, you never have to look at them again because in your mind they are just those condemned ones.<br /><br />Obviously YOU didn't say they were condemned, but referencing Calvin and Luther is just a way of proving a point without having to say it yourself.<br /><br />When you aren't hating on Protestants your blog is pretty good though.Michael W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00415608280240336363noreply@blogger.com
