Keith: even by low bar Baptist standards, Midwestern was a second tier seminary, but did teach something about hermeneutics.
Please share your interpretation of Matthew 5:22 and how school boy name calling (Libtard, Fudd, brainless) helps the cause of gun rights, or advances your arguments. Discerning that some words are "foolish" or actions "bad" are not making a judgement about a man's character, though words and actions certainly reflect what is in a man's heart. Mocking God is claiming to be a disciple of Jesus Christ while saying or doing things that make Him look bad

I/we can always do better, but you would agree there is a point at which NOT saying something only encourages/enables the bad behavior? If you come upon a guy with 4 does in his pickup bed, you wouldn't make a right judgement that he may have done something bad? Some guy with anger management issues is torturing his dog with an e-collar and you'd just walk away?
