I’m glad to hear you say that, Mark.
Shoebat equating Protestantism with islam the a similar fallacy to the media saying that Ben Carson is an evangelical. It shows how little they know. 7th day Adventists are not evangelicals. Evanglicalism is about proclaiming historic Christianity. I like Ben Carson. I’d choose him over Jeb Bush every day and twice on Sundays (Saturdays?). But their sect was built on 18th century eschatological fever, on dates predicted for the end of the earth, AND on new writings they held at the same level as the bible.
I saw this as a chaplain years ago when the military attempted to group Mormonism with Protestantism. We Chaplains (Protestant & Mormon alike) scratched out heads and wondered if they really believed these things in the 5-sided puzzle palace. Might as well group Judaism and Islam. They simply aren’t the same no matter how much some uneducated bureaucrat wants them to be.
They desperately wanted to group Catholicism and Orthodoxy, but they knew it wouldn’t fly, so they backed off.
So, to equate Islam with Protestantism is just ignorance of the author on display.
I saw what you did there! *giggle*
