Dave Armstrong has repeatedly refused to enter into a substantive discussion with me on the oft stated grounds that I'm an "anti-Catholic," and he made a "resolution" not to debate anti-Catholics.
Now, however, he is reminding everyone that he regards a mere resolution as nonbinding (see below). So where does that leave his original excuse?

As everyone knows, people break resolutions all the time: the most famous ones being those related to diets. I clearly broke some of my resolutions (because of my greatly mixed feelings on the issue, clearly expressed in both resolutions, and my "apologetic duty"), but in other instances I was merely liberally applying my "loopholes" (that I myself made), and there was no inconsistency.
Anyone can read my resolutions of 2001 and 2005, and see that they are not solemn oaths. They contain loopholes whereby I would continue to interact with anti-Catholics.
I "broke" with my resolution (as if it were an absolute thing, with no exceptions whatsoever, in the first place -- it never was).
I simply relaxed my own requirements for when I would interact. Am I not allowed to do that? I am forbidden from writing exception clauses in my own statements of resolution, and then prohibited from exercising and/or softening the requirement in any particular instance?

With all due respect, what ever happened to "Let what you say be simply 'Yes' or 'No'; anything more than this comes from evil"?
ReplyDeleteRandy, the Bible tells you of a falling away. It doesn't say when my elect exodus the dark domain of the Beast my elect will then cause the destruction of my Church and my Kingdom.
ReplyDeleteEverything in the world you live in today that has anything to do with life, light, and freedom is owed to the Reformation and the heroic reformers who defeated the darkness and went on to found and build and create and invent and discover what makes up the free world today. You are unconscionably ignorant of history and of your own cankerous, murderous, Gospel-suppressing 'church'. Come out of that darkness and read the Word of God and give yourself a chance for the Word and the Spirit to effect regeneration in you.
