“Another hit piece on Protestantism from an ordained protestant Deacon, that actually attended a legitimate Theological seminary, and actually earned a degree”
Seeing these words took me by surprise, I don’t think of myself as “Protestant”, but depending on who you are talking to I guess I could be considered Protestant, which makes the cheese, as my mother used to say, even more binding.
I have to commend you on having the wherewithal to make the effort to get the degree, it is no small feat. And you have been lambasted enough by the “Stupid for Jesus” crowd. As far as the “Protestant” label I consider those in the first wave of the reformation to be Protestant, Lutherans, Calvinists, Anglicans. Their leaders had theological training, on the other hand the “Prots” are the Bob’s house O god types. The Johnny come lately types with no training. They have a need to deride anyone one with any type of degree when they themselves have none.
