Amen. That’s it.

We’re evil and lost and we twist Scripture. Okay.

Here’s how it looks to me:

I think your side (and to some extent ours) “misunderestimates” the differences between us in ‘culture’, for want of a better word.

Example: I think the episode of the Ethiopian Eunuch is all the evidence one needs that “Sola Scriptura” don’t cut the mustard. Obviously you know the story, and obviously you see something else there. And each of us thinks our interpretation, in gross or fine points, is obvious.

So when we encounter disagreement we are astonished. And then, it appears, angry and ready to condemn. We start with, “You’re ignoring the context,” and end with, “You’re (or your masters are) perverting Scripture for some nefarious end.)

But all that’s neither true, nor helpful, nor charitable.

But that seems to be the outcome. Not a very good witness for either side.
