So which is it? You're playing both sides here. First you post that I'm "incorrect as usual," then you turn around and say (paraphrase) well, it's their fault for that label.

Re: Back with some new perspective

I think the people who are having issues with my self made title of Recovering Pharisee are missing the point. Nobody else has given me this title, I have seen this in myself in my past and even to this day have to stop myself from making a judgment on somebody's relationship with Jesus based solely on their appearance. When the shoe fits, it is best to put it on and wear it til something 'better' comes along.

Roxanne I think we all have some Pharisee in us that we need to recover from.

The UPC does not claim a monopoly on truth. Do some UPCers talk that way? Sure.

Re: Back with some new perspective

So Trinitarians that judge others by that doctrine are Pharisees?
