The reprobate deserve no respect. To disrespect them, to display discourtesy, is a sign of faith and election. Indeed to fail to behave in such a way is to call one's own special status with God into question, and to fail to take advantage of the gifts God has given one.
It's a corollary to the notion that any discourtesy shown to the reprobate is the fault of the reprobate for daring to express an opinion or otherwise call attention to himself. The things we say and do demand and impose a duty on the elect to show contempt .
OH MY!
What lofty sweetness.
I’m sure God is quite impressed.
It's an excellent, and sadly true summary of the Protestant mindset, MD.
Mad Dawg, do you really think God would be pleased with your showing anyone who doesn’t agree with you (the reprobate) disrespect or contempt? I don’t think so. Even if they do that to you, remember how Jesus acted when He was spat on and beaten.
