They cannot do that, pride won't allow it, for then would be the admission that RCism has been a fraud all this time.
Who can’t do that?
This is, I think, an example of what I was talking about in suggesting that discussion or conversation wasn't really the aim. It's a description of "them" in response to a post addressed to me. So if it's fair to conclude that I am an element of the set "they", then the meaning of the statement is that I am irredeemably wrong and prefer being wrong to wounding my pride.
It's not so important to respond to the implied personal attack as it is to note that this is not "faith seeking understanding" but, if we assume Missey_Lucy_Goosey is right, the righteous merely proclaiming their (imputed if not infused) righteousness without any intention of actual discussion. The only tolerable alternative would be the "frank exchange of views" I mentioned earlier.
And, I note again that the subject and the content of the thread and initial post are swallowed up in the diagnosis of our alleged corporate and individual sinfulness
Where's the LOVE?
