I read your #14 and then read this post. In #14 you say, "I try to grant others as much respect and consideration as I want for my own views."

In this post you say,"Futurists of your ilk have been teaching an imminent Second Coming for the last century and a half (since dispensational premillennialism was invented), making asses of themselves and the Gospel. But, so long as fools are willing to buy the books, do bad eisegesis of Scripture and use newspapers as commentaries, there will be chicken littles perverting Scripture, leading folks astray, bringing mockery upon the Gospel and consoling themselves that time is short while they wait for their one way ticket to paradise."

How are these two statements consistent? The later I find particularly uncharitable and offensive. I never heard this type of diatribe during my doctoral program at Westminster Seminary.

***So, take your condescending tripe, fold it neatly origami style and shove it. Truth in love friend, hugs and kisses. ***

This is respect and consideration?

I am absolutely willing to engage in give & take dialog with other Christians and people of faith on any number of issues. I believe I conducted myself in a spirit of charity and mutual forbearance on this thread. However, an a** saw fit to introduce ageism and a personal attack upon my integrity, or at least my ability to know, apprehend, comprehend and act upon the truth. I've got little time for passively accepting insults upon my honor and integrity. I have a bit more self-respect than to brook such nonsense, sorry if you find that inconsistent . . . back to that Romans 12 thing you know.
