Would you say that this is "less than the least" of all forums?

I'm sorry you lost me with that "therefore", I guess I just can't keep up. Point 1 -- less than the least of all forums, just a support group with 12 offscouring of the LRC.

therefore

2 -- Beware?

I don't get the logic in needing a warning about some insignificant support group?

Intolerance is amusing?

Net net is this. No one in this forum has the ground to condemn the local churches for warning others about those who would poison them.. Warning others is the deeply embedded culture of this forum.

Thanks for the conclusion, that was clear. Also I agree that there should be no condemnation to anyone for teaching the verses quoted by Evangelical concerning avoiding those who cause division.

That is the irony of religion, everyone claims to be fighting on the side of God. It is a vicious battle for the moral high ground.
