On another thread, I am discussing with the Orthodox and a Lutheran -- and it's astonishing the difference in tone compared to this thread.
While we all agree that we don't agree with each other :-) on many things, we acknowledge there is much we DO agree on and we actually talk about experiences that can help us in our respective Churches.
If we disagree with each other on some point, we say why and what we believe. We do not:
1. Repeat lies about what we believe the other groups to believe
2. Toss slurs about
These two options are used by the QP (for reference, read my above post in reply to Quix on his usage of a certain term) --> the QP are not even Protestants (they use another term for themselves), they are fringe members of fringe cults.
Case in point -- the OPC. Initialy when seeing the rantings and false pictures posted here, I had the image of this tiny group (27,000 in 2000 and falling membership worldwide) as a Westboro Baptist redux. Yet, there are OPC members who can civilly argue.
So, I'm left with the opinion that we only get the worst of the various groupings here and mostly members of the Kirk of One (i.e. they are their own church and believe they are the elite caste among humans)

We need to pray for those who hate us, and especially those who hate us and aver that their hatred is really Christian love.
