What IS sad is your smugness and arrogance -- you didn't come to gently correct or merely express a viewpoint; you came to hit Christians over the head with a Bible.

In a nutshell you came to sow discord under the guise of reproof. You know full well that sincere believers have honest disagreements regarding this doctrine. You bait and scorn them with a mocking tone. This is sin.

Envy, strife, and dissensions are not of God, and Christians ought not foment these. We are rather to strive for unity. There's more than enough discord in the body already.

It's perfectly okay to present an honest viewpoint -- even if it is quite different than the mainstream. We don't all interpret scripture the same. But to do so dogmatically, without commensurate humility, puts others on the defensive.

It's good to hash out these issues. Yet we must remember to do so lovingly.
