I KNOW you guys think we're wrong. I don't have a problem with that. Heck, I once thought Catholics were wrong. And, after all, as you say, we think you're wrong. And we both think each other's wrongitude has grave consequences.
I wonder how many Catholics became Protestants because somebody said they were too proud to admit error or switched the argument on them. I suppose some succumbed to endless repetition. That kind of stuff just makes me all the more sure I made the right choice and all the less inclined to listen. But maybe it's an effective approach to some.
I wonder if good old Nehemiah plucked ear and nose hair. Most of us have plenty of that!
Well, you can become frustrated like Ezra and yank your hair out or be like Nehemiah and yank someone else's hair out. Historically, of the two, Nehemiah was considered far more sophisticated.
