You don't have to prove your pedigree to me. I know your posts well enough to know that you are an excellent Christian and that your intentions here are good. We disagree on methods, not doctrine.

I'm just saying that for us as sinners, going around calling people "children of the devil" is idiotic, counterproductive, and uncharitable.

I disagree based on my personal experiences. It wasn't the touchy-feely aspects of Catholicism that brought me back to the Church, but the hard-hitting apologetics used by the early Church Fathers. And THEY certainly knew something about living in reprobate times.

LOL! If it's one thing I am not, Antoninius, it's an "excellent Christian"! That's a kind thing to say, but it just ain't so. Please pray for me that someday I might become merely a "good" Christian.
