No argument there. But the ABC is using his office properly in response, and directly contrary to his personal beliefs on the matter -- what more can you ask?
Go read one of Griswald's letters - they are full of "love" and Christian sounding stuff - nothing clearly heretical.
That's where you're wrong. Griswold's letters are typically heretical on their face, because they are generally clearly contrary to the plain meaning of Scripture. This sermon, by contrast, is perfectly in accord with the plain meaning of Scripture.
Let me ask you a question: were this sermon to be given by somebody you trusted, would you be yelling as loudly? I rather doubt it. The words themselves are sound, and they ought to give you serious pause.
*** Let me ask you a question: were this sermon to be given by somebody you trusted, would you be yelling as loudly?***
What's the phrase...
"The messenger is the message"
***The words themselves are sound, and they ought to give you serious pause.***
Let me ask you a question. Divested of any knowlege of the speaker, do you find any problem with the following message...
"He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone."
