Cronos,

By reading over your remarks, you actually make it easy for me to understand why some folks rely on an institutions explanation of what the Bible teaches instead of just picking up the book and reading it with understanding.

By not answering my question, you actually answer it. A paradox so to speak.

[Cronos]

Firstly, your question is wrong -- if you peruse any of the Catholic caucus threads here you can see that we don't suffer our fools gladly.

Secondly, we are concerned with the progress of liberalism in the ECUSA, ELCA, PCUSA, etc because we know that the secular Christian-hating left has
1. targetted these smaller congregations because they were smaller, easier targets to attack first --
2. an attack on any Christian group by the Islamists or leftists is an attack on us all -- they see no differentiator between lutherans or anglicans or catholics or others. When the ECUSA elected a gay bishop, Christians (Anglicans, reformed, Catholics, etc.) were attacked and killed by Muslims in Nigeria. When the Florida pastor of a group of 30 people threatened to burn the Koran, Catholic Churches in Kashmir were burned and schools attacked. You think they see any difference? No. We are all followers of Isai -- madmen to follow what the Koran says is just a prophet (incidently, you should read the dialogue the Koran says that Jesus said -- dialogue not found anywhere in the bible or anywhere else for 640 years until Mohammed). I get no joy that the lefties succeed in another Church like the ELCA, because that is an attack on me, as well.

And thirdly, you pose a question "why do you talk about us, when you have problems of your own" -- I turn the question on to you why do you talk about us, when you have problems of your own?
