"Unfortunately, this Christian has seen many a hateful Christian who do exactly this sort of thing. Even a few that would blow up abortionists in the name of Christ.
Just because they are saved means little; we're all still works in progress."
Ah but you see that is exactly why I said the Book defines what is acceptable and Christian. See what is missing here is this guy apologized and withdrew his class. Now I see no purpose to be gained by beating him up, hardly fits a Christian profile.
You mean the Christian profile demonstrated in posts like this one?
" . . . Now I see no purpose to be gained by beating him up."
I fully agree.
My suspects:
1. The professor himself faked the attack, as has been shown time and again or
2. The kind of "christian" who blows up abortion clincs, who do exist, alas (which was my point -- not common, but existant).
