You're picking and choosing from st paul, not me.
If you don't see the vain pride you have in your own statements then you're one wrse for being blind to your own faults.
The pointedly, directly, brazenly personal assaults are not that big a deal to me. It's just that so many RC folks scream bloody murder at the faintest whiff of such stuff . . . and then . . .
Perhaps sometime The Lord will show you His work with me on the issue of pride.
