I have done more to spread the Gospel than you have, I’ll bet. I spent a couple of years in Israel, Egypt, in the Former Soviet Union and A couple of priests and I have made many conversions to date. That's where the rubber hits the road

Well, I genuinely praise God for that.

And I don't cite the following verse aimed at you; it's a reminder to me to leave any accomplishments I've done on my resume':

"We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise." (Apostle Paul, 2 Corinthians 10:12)

...not typing nonsense here at home to antagonize other Christians.

If Jesus would have had a keyboard & computer network, I'm sure a few John 8 & Matthew 23 type of comments would have come across as "antagonizing" other Jews.

And if you are indeed so "anti-antagonizing" of other Christians, then please explain why you twice referenced in post #21 that the thread itself (or comments) was "the work of the devil?"

Isn't engaging in escalating religious antagonism part of the problem you cite of Christians antagonizing others?

If that's a problem you identify, why are you contributing to it and even escalating it?

It should be obvious. When fellow Christians openly deride another's Christianity, particularly at a time when the Atheists and the Muslims and the perverts are attempting to overwhelm Christian faith, values, and culture, it is the work of the Devil, not Christianity.

We have tremendous work ahead of us and we have to be unified in that work or we could fail.

I expect that the Lord would be aghast at his followers focusing on nitpicking other followers instead of fighting against the tide of evil threatening the world.
