Love for me, but not for you

"Most of us who study the scripture are aware of the bible verses that tell us how to interact with other believers and also unbelievers in civil and charitable ways."

"In this way they [Tbloggers] decide whom to sinfully attack and whom to be civil towards (and their 'opponents' seem to be anyone who thinks differently than they do **especially** Arminians, Catholics, and Eastern Orthodox believers). It also allows them to rationalize and justify being a jerk in their interactions with others. And that is what these folks have become, jerks, who exult in living out the set #2 verses in their interactions with other believers." [emphasis added]

“On the other hand, some like Steve Hays **are** jerks. I also know from these other calvinists that Hays can do much better. Or can he? If he is just a jerk in his character, perhaps that’s what God predetermined for him to be and so he just can’t help himself.”

"But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca,' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell" (Mt 5:22).
