This article is just more proof evangelicals are not hatemongers, contrary to the idiocy purported by Democrats, liberals and the media.
Yep and as a Catholic I have never been put down by Evangelicals here or truthfully anywhere. I don’t go to DU so I don’t know about there. Hopefully not too many Evangelicals there anyway. lol.
Actually, I think the article is misleading. The hostile reaction was greater and more vicious than suggested here and the ETS executive committee statement itself evaded the real issues and invented pseudo-issues. Beckwith graciously resigned rather than make a stink. The ETS statement itself illustrates how misinformation still dominates the evangelical side of things—even for those who consider themselves irenic about these matters. The totally out-to-lunch misinformation propagated by James White and John Macarthur are another matter altogether.
This piece strikes me as damage control and rose-tinted propaganda. Yes, the reaction could have been far more hostile and vicious, but no, it was not anywhere close to as nicey-nicey as this article implies. I speak as one who has followed the various threads quite closely. The ETS has not exactly covered itself in glory in the way it handled this.
Oh I have, not to open a can of worms, but as a Catholic, I’ve been attacked by Evangelicals.. the most amusing of them being the popular refrain that Catholics aren’t Christians.... which I find most amusing on its face, but disturbing on its ignorance.
