To: Ward Smythe; Mr. Vega
"Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter."

Christians are obligated to tell the truth. And if someone deliberately, crudely, blasphemes, then a Christian must operate under the presumption that such a person is not in a state of grace, that such a person is a "son" of Satan.

That does not mean that Mr. Vega is beyond hope. But it is our obligation to urge him to "repent and believe," not make excuses for him.

Son of Satan or Son of God. No middle ground? What about those that don't believe in either? Me, not being one of them.

Well, I would agree with you there. But do you really think calling him the spawn of Satan is the way to "urge him to repent and believe?"
