Some study small parts of Scripture in order to argue; others spend their time in study -- not to buttress dogmas, but to receive edification, correction, and instruction.

I have a very low opinion of these haughty chaps who abuse the Word attempting to satisfy their vain and petty arguments and belittle others. They are no more worthy than a billboard lawyer using the law as a tool to gainsay and chissel others. They are limited to studying a narrow portion of eschatology and predestination because they love to argue, not to glean or grow.. My father used to complain about engineers who could not carry on a social conversation without discussing engineering. This crowd can only talk TULIP and amillenialism .

Ask them when they last attempted to glean edification and instruction from outside their pet doctrines and they will be stumped

They are also like the Jehovah Witnesses who have studied their arguments and rehearsed them well before knocking on your door -- impressive in their suits and thoroughly prepared to reason from the Scriptures that Christ, in fact, is not God.

These brothers are not worth a minute of time. Let them pat each other on the back and say what great arguments they make. They are about as obnoxious to me as the Leftist idologues who bash Bush.

Interesting.

I heard a dispensationalist on the radio today, make an absolutely specious comparison between amillenialists and Jehovah's Witnesses. (Nobody you're likely to have heard of -- a couple guys I know slightly, who have a local radio show. They were discussing John McArthur's opening blast at this year's Shepherd's Conference, which one of the two had attended.)

Is this the latest strategy? It's pretty weak.

You have no idea.
