Samuel, this is not a post. It is an educated, well-thought-out, pointed, corrective, article; one which makes points YOU don’t want to acknowledge.

So instead of allowing the logic of the arguments and facts presented enlighten your obviously entrenched (mis)understandings, you immediately run to hyperbole and clichés. Shall we toss out all of the fact just because they are not presented in a touchy-feeling, feel-good, squishy milquetoast format?

I write with authority because my facts are sound and indisputable.

Did you forget how Jesus chastised the Pharisees? Calling them vipers? How Peter chastised Paul for not preaching what Jesus preached? I have done no more an no less.

Jesus said, “I have not come to bring peace, but division.” The truth often divides people who do not want to see it nor admit to it.

Do not feel like you are being persecuted when you are merely being corrected.

The saddest thing is when people IGNORE facts and history so that they can observe their own traditions. The Pharisees did the same. Sadly.
