Scathing Letter From a Moderate!

[Sister Alvear]

Thank God for grace and mercy. Blessed be the person that understands grace and mercy without falling...some learn what grace and mercy is quite late in life.
I have always thought we could love one another even though we might see things differently.
If I cannot seem to feel right about something or someone I just back away if possible.

I find nothing intolerant about my post in the least. I only spoke truth.

Those men may preach the blood, but they CERTAINLY don't preach MERCY.

I am totally dumbfounded that ANYONE who knows the Bible would think that TRUTH is a horrible parallel. Tell me you don't really have the audacity to deny the word of God!

MOW,

The statement I bolded has no relevance to my post whatsoever. The parallel was of your own tainted, biased imagination and i can't believe you would use the TRUTH of the Word of God to draw such a vile parallel.

i am not opposed to TRUTH being a parallel.. what I am opposed to is you comparing these men to SAUL who was an UNREGENERATE SINNER with convictions that made him a murderer. I am dumbfounded that the master of the religion free zone would be comfortable with such an unGRACious characterization and parallel! I guess you have one of those mirrors like the wicked witch that, when you pass by, tells you you are gracious and of beautiful spirit regardless what you say or do.

I know many precious people that fit under different labels...man seems to label people the Lord looks far deeper and HE KNOWS who is a REAL UC for the KINGDOM...We humans might be surprized at who God calls an UC.

Some people never took time to find out what mercy means until something happened that they needed mercy.

Pel loves that story... I have seen it a few times here on the forum.

He really should be able to come up with more than a single high profile example if he expects me to embrace this as a valid type of UC tolerance and civility.

As your faith is, so be it unto you.

You have said much in this small post, Sis. Alvear!

Agree?

Disagree?

Ambivalent?

Agree. It is true that some have traded true biblical holiness for poorly camouflaged Phariseeism.

So true.

Like I said earlier, some of the kindest, most merciful men who preached Grace and the Cross consistently and powerfully, would be regarded as "Ultra-Con" if a label is necessary. On the other hand ...... well, suffice it to say, there are all types aren't there?

To stereotype, label and pigeon-hole men probably isn't really very wise but unavoidable too I suppose ... human nature being what it is and all.

I don't think he was referring to ALL ultra-cons...just the ones upon whom that shoe fits.
