BFN:

I am thick skinned enough, but I must admit that your throwing around so loosely the word ignorance has jabbed at me not because of ego, but because not only you but most who are anti christian think themselves more up on the bible than we who do put time and effort into the study of It.

You loosely toss out stuff that are so far off the beaten path of christianity until it sometimes does not seem worth the effort of responding to it. I realize this as a mistake the same as christians who are not well versed because they are either too lazy to study or are 'babes in Christ'. Either way there has to be a measure of patience with them as I will have to have with those like you.

One of my weaknesses is a hatred for arrogance or the appearance of it. I am by no means an unlearned man (although I know what I don't know, which is more than some so called scholars know) yet I try as best I can to come down to the level of those who may be beneath my knowledge (not become as they are) and try to communicate with them.

The harness and crassness and down right nastiness of some of the posters on just these threads will keep the people who probably most need to ask questions. I dare say that if I needed to know something that I would ask most on here in fear of being castigated for my lack of knowledge.

but I enjoy pecking with ya'll and defending my faith. notice that I am not attacking your's, I only ask questions. someone accused me of playing the my God is stronger than your god thing. not so. When I know that there is but one God, why would I argue something so inane?

Sorry for coming at you so hard sometimes but I am human too believe it or not. in fact my wife just chewed me out for getting up last night and looking to see if you had posted.
