Dave:
When Edward Reiss (whom I have defended against your slanders) protested against your relentless calumnies, he was full of himself, as well. It is your standard reply to anyone who disagrees with your Profound Wisdom. It goes beyond your anti-Catholicism. Those two guys ain't Catholics, but they are fair game simply because they disagreed with you.

Just keep doing that, Steve. You're making a fool of yourself in front of everyone. Anyone with an ounce of fairness can observe what is going on here. You wouldn't have a prayer in a court case with a jury. They would see right through your nonsense and asinine word-games.

Double Dave:
There is a larger picture that is usually neglected in reacting to these Luther citations: a neglect that is probably in large part due to natural partisan attachment (and also, a polemical, and/or anti-Catholic orientation in certain quarters).
A recent example of this sort of criticism that I am "anti-Luther" comes from Lutheran apologist Edward Reiss...Prominent online Lutheran pastor Paul McCain (LCMS) also took (on 2-19-10) one of his typically fact-challenged, uncharitable swipes at me, along the same lines.

Sometimes when I read dear ole' Double Dave, I get a sense that "he's got the sense right"?
ReplyDeleteWell, consider just how "right" he has got it this time, even though he doesn't realize just how right he has got it this time when reading these Words of God:::>
Deu 4:1 "And now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and the rules that I am teaching you, and do them, that you may live, and go in and take possession of the land that the LORD, the God of your fathers, is giving you.
Deu 4:2 You shall not add to the word that I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God that I command you.
Deu 4:3 Your eyes have seen what the LORD did at Baal-peor, for the LORD your God destroyed from among you all the men who followed the Baal of Peor.
Deu 4:4 But you who held fast to the LORD your God are all alive today.
Deu 4:5 See, I have taught you statutes and rules, as the LORD my God commanded me, that you should do them in the land that you are entering to take possession of it.
Deu 4:6 Keep them and do them, for that will be your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples, who, when they hear all these statutes, will say, 'Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.'
Deu 4:7 For what great nation is there that has a god so near to it as the LORD our God is to us, whenever we call upon him?
Deu 4:8 And what great nation is there, that has statutes and rules so righteous as all this law that I set before you today?
Yes, Double Dave, the rhetorical questions being asked there are "truly" Divine.
Consider this sentence by Dave in light of them and you should easily be able to see that he doesn't realize just "how accurate" his words are:::>
Dave: "....It is your standard reply to anyone who disagrees with your Profound Wisdom.".
To wit I would reply to Double Dave this way: "yes Double Dave, you got that right because the things these brothers of Triablogue bring forth in here is "profound wisdom" indeed!"
The real irony here, after reading this from Double Dave, too, is just how much it would become a Truth against Dave in any court of Law, within or without the Church:::>
"....Just keep doing that, Steve. You're making a fool of yourself in front of everyone. Anyone with an ounce of fairness can observe what is going on here. You wouldn't have a prayer in a court case with a jury. They would see right through your nonsense and asinine word-games.".
Paul the Apostle shows us just how asinine Double Dave is, though his reasoning is accurate in any event, by his Words about Who Christ is to us and within us when dealing with the nonsense we sense Double Dave puts out in his pejorative rants against the Lord's anointed in here and in other blogs, here:::>
1Co 1:30 And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption,
1Co 1:31 so that, as it is written, "Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord."
Chocolate syrup anyone?
