You know, this has become an excerise in futility. Different people keep making the same baseless assertions and people keep giving them Scripture references that they ignore. They don't actually want to know they just want spout Boettener and Chick.
An excellent observation. I am reminded of Doug Gonzales, a former Nazarene, who totally bought into the Jack Chick comics. His conversion to the Catholic Church, falls into the category of 'extraordinary'. He sympathizes with others who, like him, believe these tracts and is actively trying to correct the situation. You can hear his conversion story at EWTN's link to The Journey Home.
Yes it is however speaking for myself, every now and then I feel the need to respond to some of tripe that's posted.
God Bless
I left the thread for a day or so. Which scripture is it that people have been ignoring?
