That was not 'acrid'.

I have lost count of how many times you have given a much
more caustic reply. And yet you dare rebuke me?

Bob is clearly not a "sensitive seeker". Neither are you.

You call _that_ 'bitter'? You should read Gorky. For that matter, you
should pay closer attention to the bitter tone that often emerges in
your own posts.

Now it is you who is being irresponsible. It did no such thing.

You blame the Aristotelians for the ruin of Western society
and you call _my_ post bitter? But the truth is, you could not have reached your
ridiculous conclusion unless your view of Westenr society was jaundiced by your
own bitterness Oh, BTW: your accusation is
both groundless and false.

If you really believed that, that would be so much better
for you than what you really believe;)

How would you know? You are too steeped in yoru own pride to
recognize another's humility.

Sure, I do. It is you who do not. For those who _do_ have
this experience know better than to raise this accusation
against others solely based on what they read in the NG. But
you do not know better, therefore, you do not have it.

What 'brokeness' do you exhibit yourself, Loren?

So says Loren, the great interpreter of Scripture -- NOT!

Clean your finger before you point at my spots. I have never
seen this in your posts either. And I too have email that
confirms this impression.
>Others have commented from time to time about your hostility. Never
>have I read a reply which evidenced any discipline of the Spirit in

More likely you just did not recognize it when you saw
it. For you have shown a habit of _consistently_ misreading
others posts -- just as you misread Augustine and Scripture.
> The discipline of the Spirit usually takes us by surprise.
> Often, such discipline comes suddenly and without warning. I write
>from experience. The spiritually mature are wounded in spirit when
>admonished by others.
So why weren't you "wounded in spirit" when you were
admonished for misquoting Augustine and Aquinas? Yet here
you are doing it yet again!
> And the more mature the man the more quickly
>that man humbles himself and sorrows at the extent sin has stained of
>his life.
Again: so why aren't you humbling yourself and desisting
from the evil practice of misquoting Augustine and Aquinas?
> But, as I have said, never have your words ever bore
>evidence such a spirit.
But you do not have this spirit yourself. So how would -you- know?
>You may know many a theological argument, but you don't
>know the grace of God because you never extend it to any
>one here.
No, it is you who do not know the grace of God -- since you
are continually denying His greatest gift to us -- the
opporunity and calling to "work out your salvation in fear
and trembling", which implies free will.
>Now your words can either prove me right
As they have rarely done, since it is SO rare that you are right;)
> or prove me wrong.
As they have often done because you are so often SO wrong!
> Dare I hope you will prove me wrong?
Why not? You have dared do many more foolish things in the
NG;)
