Then it is proper to condemn such ‘christians’ as wolves in sheep’s clothing & pour harsh words on them just as Jesus did. They are false teachers, and spiritually dangerous ones at that.

That depends. If we are talking about unbelievers, we are to speak the truth in love. If baby Christians, we are to gently reproved, rebuke and correct in meekness and respect. If they are ravenous wolves bent on scattering the flock, masquerading as apostles of Christ, deceitful workers attempting to pervert the gospel, then we MUST do all we can to cut the ground from under them (II Cor. 11:12) and expose their lies with the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.

***That’s what brojoke has been doing. Jesus calls such false teachers ‘vipers’ and ‘sons of the devil’.

***I would characterize TL as a spiritually hardened unbeliever, someone who regularly pushes an atheistic point of view.

Hegewish Dupa is a jew who has said we shouldn’t even be allowed to proseletyze on FR.

boatbums to Kevmo: " If they are ravenous wolves bent on scattering the flock, masquerading as apostles of Christ, deceitful workers attempting to pervert the gospel, then we MUST do all we can to cut the ground from under them (II Cor. 11:12) and expose their lies with the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God."

But what if we are merely here to defend our Founding Fathers' religious ideas, and those of millions today, against false and often insane accusations: i.e., "God Damned Heretics"?
