Practically cultish.<br /><br />Through their behavior AHA gives evidence that they are not actually motivated by true Biblical virtues. They're not motivated by true Biblical righteousness, even though they loudly and proudly claim they are. <br /><br />They're clearly not motivated by true Biblical love for those they publicly castigate within the pro-life movement. <br /><br />They're not motivated by saving the unborn as they've repeatedly made clear, and it's equally clear by their tactics and bitter fruit that they're not motivated by obedience to the God of the Bible for His glory, even though they haughtily protest they are.<br /><br />Therefore it's plain that they're motivated by something else. Perhaps it's something as petty as jealousy, or a desire for prominence. They're obviously a self-seeking bunch.<br /><br />Their well-established pattern of intellectual dishonesty in addition to their demonstrated inability to argue in good faith is also evidence that they do not have an interest in speaking the truth in love. <br /><br />It's abundantly clear that they don't desire the unity of the church. <br /><br />They don't seek the good of the fellow Christians they attack, thereby giving further evidence that they don't seek to honor the Lord, their protestations to the contrary notwithstanding.<br /><br />Instead they seem to have their own set of twisted goals and priorities, seeking for their own prominence, position, and influence.<br /><br />And when those they attack speak the truth in response, AHA simply ignores, twists, or sets aside the rejoinders, and continues the attack.<br /><br /><b>He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one an Immediatist and the other an Incrementalist. The Immediatist, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, faithless, unjust, compromisers, or even like this Incrementalist. I share the gospel at abortion clinics; I open air preach, I agitate at local churches, and I blog and debate.’ But the Incrementalist, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”</b>CRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03231394164372721485noreply@blogger.com
