You have many times on FR used similar language.

Well, now you are just plain fabricating statements. “Similar” is a weasel word. It allows you to claim something that is not really true while looking all pious and such.

In the future, I would suggest you be a bit more careful with your claims.

Even in this very post to me you are implying that I am a hypocrite.

Just a caution. Shall I share your private mail to me with the group?

Their are similar in that they are both wrong and out of step with the Bible.

That’s your opinion, which you are more than entitled to hold. However, we are entitled to say the same things about your erroneous belief system (without using personal pejoratives, of course).

Look at your very sig, man:
"Dispensationalism -- like crack for the eschatologically naive."
 
And look at the below post from RJR_fan
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/2181669/posts?page=84#65
"the futurists ("fortune tellers") just scurried around looking for other antichrist candidates to grovel/cower before. ... their kind of faithless ingratitude stubbornly persists, despite every token of God's goodness... These ingrates are provoking God with their unbelief and contempt for His mercies, and bringing down disaster on all of our heads."
 
... to which, rather that correcting RJR_fan, you added, "The arrogance of the futurist is to confuse the fact of the Second Coming with their convoluted theories about the timing and details of the Second Coming. We’re not scoffing at Christ. We are just scoffing at the futurist timelines." 
 
Naive, arrogant, creators of "fraudulent lists", easily duped, makers of "wacky lists purporting to know the end is near", Prophets (Profits) Guild,  - these are the sorts of words you choose to describe fellow believers. These are words of personal disparagement that belittle people who hold a eschatological position different from yours.
 
I just don't understand what it is about Reformed theology that turns it's adherents into mockers and scoffers of other Christians.
 
 
++++++++++++++++
 
 
"Just a caution. Shall I share your private mail to me with the group?"
 
Is that some sort of a threat?
