You are such a loveable Brother.

A real treasure.

As far as I’m concerned, they could have a running thread going forever on that topic. Trouble is, no one would be that interested! LOL.

Like some of Biden et al’s rallys . . . few folks bothered to come.

I think Prottys tend to be too straight-forward and boring for much heated debate very often. We can discuss things even fiercely and hear one another and disagree fiercely or not and go on down the street.

We don’t have to maximize our bile; maximize our haughtiness; maximize our arrogance, maximize our prissy-ness, maximize our pique to feel heard and worthwhile persons and Believers. We don’t have to threaten and batter everyone else into our mold.

Besides, most theological arguments are about things that are not so precisely or redundantly clear in Scripture. Reasonable people can differ even emotionally without being construed as insane.

And the reason why Protestants can do that is because most Protestants understand that 100% perfection is not possible in this life. So we're all doing the best we can.

No church has everything correct. Likewise, there is no such thing as a man who is "infallible" in ANYTHING. All men are fallen and all sin daily.

The only "infallibility" in this life is the word of God made alive in our hearts and minds by the Holy Spirit.
