Love is what drives most people to refute false teachers and to warn/protect the Church from the wolves.
Like it or not, and despite your nephew's salvation during the PDL, Warren has all the signs of a wolf.
His recent episodes with Syria and Obama are just fruits of his faulty, unbiblical teachings and methods.
It is not unloving to point this out.
Like it or not, my point continues to fly over your head, again, and again and again. Because of this I will not respond to your posts for an indefinite time period.
It's bad enough for us to be critical of Lord Warren, but even that might be tolerated (to an extent), IF we were decent and civil enough to couch our words in a reasonbly obsequious tone, demonstrating the trappings of reverence if not outright obeisance toward The Man.
It's really no different, when you get down to it -- other than in degree (at the moment at least) -- from the ubiquitous "taking offense" demonstrated on a daily basis by devout Muslims.
With Islam, it's one thing to disagree with "The Prophet Mohammed" -- but, you WILL refer to him AS "The Prophet Mohammed" (a lesson the mainstream media has already learned) -- and before too long, you'll learn to apply the "(PBUH)" to his name. (I wouldn't worry about "having to" actually type out the entire "Peace Be Unto Him", since even the Muslims aren't required to do that much. Of course, on the other hand, the laws of dhimitude often do place more stringent obligations on the "infidels" than on the dar es islam -- so who knows?)
With Warrenism, the same rule is applied -- and, the media "watchdogs" have learned it, just as they've learned to be obediently reverential to "The Prophet Mohammed".
And as a proof of that sad reality, consider this: Even though it is inevitable that ol' Mo is termed "The Prophet Mohammed" by the talking heads, have you EVER heard them refer to "The Messiah Christ", or "The Savior Jesus"? (I mean, when referring to Him, NOT when making a direct quote in a story. They DO casually refer to you-know-who as "The Prophet", but they don't apply the same "respect" to Christianity. But then, Christians don't pose the same risk, when one offends them.)
The practitioners of the Gospel of Creative Destruction have clearly drawn a line in the cement. They WILL be "respected" -- they will be lavished with the trappings of "honor", no matter how much one might actually disagree with them.
They have established the basic ground rule -- they will be afforded the rank of de facto "royalty", just as the representatives of the Holy See enjoyed during its reign over the land.
Men -- strong men, soldiers and such, men who would be feared in their own right -- trembled before Cardinals and Bishops, lest they offend those who held the real power in the land.
And if one thing is obvious, it's that Warrenism is rapidly becoming THE Official State Religion of the land.
Welcome to the New! Improved! Exciting! "Holy Empire"!
(New, Improved, Etc. -- and every bit as terrifying and ominous as the OLD model upon which it's framed.)
Lord Scripter pinged lest he whine that one as lowly as I -- disrespectful toward Lord Warren as I might be -- dared to reference him in a comment without pinging him. So, I now brace for the possible "if I do/if I don't" alternative, i.e., getting chewed out FOR pinging him to something he does not enjoy reading.
BTW, the key to his Royal Indignation is found in post # 1028, where it becomes crystal clear that us "resistors" (to coin a phrase) are only to be tolerated if we bow and scrape before Lord Warren. How dare we fail to show Respect to the Cardinal of Saddle?
Matthew, Chapter 7:
Like it or not, and despite your nephew's salvation during the PDL, Warren has all the signs of a wolf.
22: Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23: And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
