"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."
 
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?

Look at your very sig, man:

Obviously, you are grasping. First you use phrases like “idiot, fool, deceiver, numb scull, etc.” as if I have used those words to characterize my opponents (which I have not). Now you weasel word (as I predicted), objecting because I call folks like you “eschatologically naive”.

I just don't understand what it is about Reformed theology that turns it's adherents into mockers and scoffers of other Christians.

Yeah, whatever. You ought to look at the log in your own eye, IMO.
