The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. (Luke 18:11)

Not at all. We are like the great Calvinist Paul, who recognized that he is the chief sinner.

Tell you what, FRiend -- a man who can talk as ugly as you can about a fellow Christian has no business posting self-righteous screeds about evangelism.

Who's talking ugly? You have, without Biblical warrant, accused me of being a Pharisee. Now that is being ugly.

Well, now, that is a new twist on it.... I can just see Mr. Calvin, standing amidst the unbelieving Catholics of Geneva, saying in an absurd parody of John, "Your father Paul rejoiced that he would see my day. He saw it and was glad."

Who's talking ugly? You have, without Biblical warrant, accused me of being a Pharisee. Now that is being ugly.

Well, now, given that your behavior immediately brought to mind the passage in question, I am not quite sure why I lack "Biblical warrant". You clearly consider yourself more righteous than "that Arminian over there."
