Sadly, the brainless Wonko's of the world will have a problem with my response to your personal attacks and absurd accusations, but once again Drew, I did not ask for a definition of proof texting of Scripture. I already know what proof texting of Scripture is. The problem I have with you is that you advised me to not proof text Scripture or mock God in your nasty little off topic "Down One" personal attack thread back in September.

I asked you several times within that thread to please show me where I had done that. I was especially miffed that you alluded that I had somehow mocked God. You couldn't give a straight answer then, and it appears you'd rather obfuscate than give a straight answer now. And it gets even better as you now unjustly accuse me of "bringing reproach to the name of Jesus Christ". You did that right after you said this:



Maybe you ought to practice what you preach Drew. Tell us more about that katakrino thing, and why it doesn't apply to you. Or maybe you seriously think that being a preacher absolves you of the very things you judge and condemn in others... rightly or wrongly. Here you go, so that you can cherry pick the parts you like and ignore the rest:

Matthew 7:1�7

Judging Others

7 �Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother�s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, �Let me take the speck out of your eye,� when there is the log in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother�s eye.
Do not give what is holy to the dogs, nor throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet and turn around and attack you. 7 Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened to you.


Of course, your nasty little "Down One" thread was nothing more than a personal attack on Jim, Dave K., and me... even though your signature line at that time said,

"Personal attacks only reflect the inadequacy of the argument, and the character of the attacker."

I note that you have since removed that signature line which graced every post you made until I pointed out the hypocrisy of it when you launched your own personal attack thread. So much for courage of convictions. But hey, it sounded real good until you got caught with your hand in the cookie jar.

I'd like to think that Baptist Seminaries don't teach selective theology. But as your pal King Brown says, "On the evidence...etc." I really got a kick out of your closing statement in your reply to me Drew: "Carry on Keith. Your bitterness and venom hurt me not at all, are bringing reproach to the name of Jesus Christ, and are destroying your soul."

Wow! Destroying my soul! That's rough. Do you think I ought to go to confession and tell the Priest that I sinned a great sin by confronting a petty hypocrite in an online forum where faux civility is not only tolerated, but oftentimes admired? And nicest of all, you have the gall to accuse me of "bringing reproach to the name of Jesus Christ." You really are full of yourself, aren't you? But don't worry, your dogs will like you anyway.

Just some written thoughts from a very sad time by two people who lost a friend and companion.



Now that I am dead cry for me a little
think of me sometimes.
But not too much.
Remember me now and again as I was in life,
at some moment when it is pleasant to recall, but not for long.
Leave me in peace, and I shall leave you in peace.
And while you live let your thoughts be with the living.

Oh God, my master,
should I gain the grace
to see thee face to face
when life is ended.
Grant that a little dog who once pretended
that I was God
might see me, face to face.

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?

Drew, thanks for this thread. It's a comfort to all of us. Contributed stories make it all the better. For two seasons, I've been without a dog without any hope of a dog ever owning me again because of my age and circumstances.

I know my Jakes made me a better person. No need to explain but I must say from observing for a long time here that I've often thought that members exhibiting a high standard of values often talked of love of their dogs.

Another thought I have is it's not always the dog's fault if it turns out a palooka. Like humans, their characters are powerfully influenced by discipline and love from their caretakers. Love in, love out. We can take some credit for it.

It's a pity that this forum format is so old. Newer sorts have an "ignore" function that would serve in a most satisfying manner.

Dear Mr. Weber
Please deliver us from the pointless posturings of self anointed purveyors of information and opinions that have no place at a site called doublegunshop.com

thanks

have another day
Dr.WtS

Amen to that, WTS...

Minus one.

Never the less, thanks Doc Drew for the topic. There are things I am more thankful for, but some of my most appreciated hunts are alone with a loyal pup.

Drew, you missed my point entirely, which I am beginning to suspect is intentional on your part. It appears that your hermeneutics is highly selective, and apparently does not apply to you. I asked you where I had proof texted Scripture, and now you reply by asking me to proof text Matthew 5:22. I asked you where I mocked God, and you lamely answer by saying "Mocking God is claiming to be a disciple of Jesus Christ while saying or doing things that make Him look bad."

Somehow, in your mind, what you consider a "right judgement" from yourself becomes condemnation, or "katakrino" which should be reserved for God alone when SOME of us mere mortals do the same thing. You still haven't told me why you think that katakrino doesn't apply to you. I emphasized the word SOME, because your pious criticism is obviously reserved only for those who you disagree with politically. That, of course, is why your words are so hollow, hypocritical, and meaningless to me. Or would you have us all believe that you just never saw it when it comes from nca225, Wonko, Rocky Mtn Bill, or King Brown, etc.? Why, Ken61 saw this selective civility and name calling coming from King, and commented on it just a couple days ago in his post #462806:



That was from your pal King in just one thread. Ken could have added greedy, selfish, hateful, It, the Fringe, and a host of other derogatory terms King uses to describe Conservatives who actually support the 2nd Amendment. But strangely, you never seem to have a problem that incites you to do the Lord's work when the denigration comes from your cohorts. Yet you hypocritically castigate Jim, Dave K, and me, and when I respond, as I am here, you go on to to accuse me of "bringing reproach to the name of Jesus Christ." Remember Drew, I never initiated a thread to launch a personal attack upon you. And if I ever did, I sure would have removed my signature line...

"Personal attacks only reflect the inadequacy of the argument, and the character of the attacker."

...before I launched my attack. I wonder why you chose to remove it after the fact??? Actually, no, I don't wonder at all. But if you keep on doing your hermeneutics, you just might convince yourself that you really are better than the rest of us.
