I appreciate the many folks who read this blog. Some of them I necessarily offend, because I affirm that men are sinners and that the gospel is that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, to the glory of God alone. That message in itself is bound to offend sinners who don't wish to be identified as such and those who preach other gospels. That offense is simply inevitable. Nevertheless, I may also inadvertently offend others. This blog post is designed to serve as a clearinghouse for your complaints that I've offended you. You can submit a comment here, and I'll read it. If I can, I'll try to remedy the offense.
By the way, don't assume that I know I offended you. At the present, I'm blissfully unaware of any such cases. Nevertheless, I realize that they may exist despite my best efforts not to give unnecessary offense. So please - if I have offended you, please let me know.

Comment Guidelines:
1. Thanks for posting a comment. Without you, this blog would not be interactive.
2. Please be polite. That doesn't mean you have to use kid gloves, but please try not to flame others, even if they are heretics, infidels, or worse.
3. If you insult me, I'm more likely to delete your comment than if you butter me up. After all, I'm human. I prefer praise to insults. If you prefer insults, there's something wrong with you.
4. Please be concise. The comment box is not your blog. Your blog is your blog. If you have a really long comment, post it on your blog and post a short summary of it here.
5. Please don't just spam. It's one thing to be concise, it's another thing to simply use the comment box to advertise.
6. Please note, by commenting here, you are relinquishing your (C) in your comments to me.
7. Remember that you will give an account on judgment day for your words, including those typed in comment boxes. Try to write so you will not be ashamed if it is read back before the entire world.
8. Stay on topic. If your comment has nothing to do with the post, email it to me (my email can be obtained through my blogger profile), or simply don't post it.
9. Don't post as "Anonymous." If you are going to post anonymously, at least use some kind of recognizable "handle," so we can tell you apart from all the other anonymous folks. (This is moot at the moment, since recent abuse has forced me to turn off "anonymous" commenting.)
10. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you; and abstain from doing to others what you would not wish upon yourself.
TurretinFan,
ReplyDeleteI'm offended!
You'll interact with every nasty commenter in the blogosphere who comes up with the most inane, insipid, ridiculous arguments for their position. But you won't interact with my inane, insipid, ridiculous arguments.
What's it going to take? Do I have to insult you to get you to acknowledge me? I mean, really.
Very well, then, here goes...
You're a green, green meanie who, er, never really tries to, er, understand the, uh, other, you know...
You mean person!
Greatest blessings in Christ,

ReplyDeleteDear TurretinFan;
ReplyDeleteDead men don't respond! If one is dead to self, one is incapable of response.
I enjoy your retorts on YT and FB. However; these sights seem to be awash in a cult of personality worship. Finney, Calvin, Arminius, Turretin, Oprah, Obama...
So keep up the mediocre work and I'll keep on reading.
It will be great when you, White, LaneChaplin and others graduate to Christ alone ;-)
Have I offended You?
It is good to be reminded that we should be Christians before we are Calvinists or fans of Turretin.
ReplyDeleteNow, to take the high ground, then, seeing I find Pilgrimsarbour's comments the most convincing response so far:::>
ReplyDeleteMat 6:14 For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you,
Mat 6:15 but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Tormentors anyone? :)
Yes. Many times.
