Let's lift the dialog up a notch.
Soooo....he’s not PC enpugh for you?
Yes, I didn’t clarify myself. In Evangelicalism we talk about the Gospel and basic tenants of faith as nonnegotiable. Other peripheral issues such as the exact interpretation of eschatology, the security of the believer, the granting of ecstatic gifts, etc, as peripheral and given to much debate amonst the many denominations. On the core issues I believe Rev. Hagee to be be faithful and his spiritual insights need to be heeded.
So I am guessing that whether or not bearing false witness is sinful is considered a peripheral issue up for debate since that is what Hagee engages in with his pronouncements on Catholicism.
I'm not sure Hagee's first wife would necessarily agree with you, after the way he treated her (he had an affair with the woman who would become his much younger second wife). Hey, that reminds me of someone -- can't think who...
I've seen some of his sermons and the only conclusion I've come to is that you have to be an outright masochist to be a member of his church the way he rails on at his congregation.
Nothing like a bout of self-flagellation on an early Sunday morning.
Anyway, Hagee is pompous, self-righteous fringe demagogue who runs his church as his own personal fiefdom, accountable to no one but himself. McCain was a fool to seek his endorsement.
Just like the pope.
Go peddle your hate someplace else.
If I had any, I might. But I don't. YOU challenged me to produce documentation, and I did. I have no problem with the document, other than being on the receiving end of the anathemas; but I've known about them for a long time. I can live with it. I put my money where my mouth is, too, doing just what you said we ought to do, i.e., we work together, protestants and catholics, hand-in-hand. We know about our theological differences. We also know our significant common ground. So I have no hate to peddle. How is yours doing? Plus, I've been a FReeper practically as long as it's existed. So I've got no someplace else to go, nor do I intend to.
Research some of the things Hagee has said (and there's a lot) about the Catholic Church.
