[John Leland 1789]

What makes you think you even have the right to ask that of a Christian after you started bearing false witness against him first?

Well, first, it is your Scriptural responsibility, if you indeed are a Christian, to testify as to the hope that is in you.

Secondly, I must try to discern from your testimony whether you indeed are a Christian, as you claim to be.

Thirdly, I must discern whether your hyper-sensitivity is simply due to the natural man, or a carnal nature, or simply that you took my general disdain for idolatry very personally . . . hyper-personally, and would just rather wrangle.

I’ll say it again, you have forfeited any right to ask anything of a Christian on this thread?
