Why DO I call him a dope?
How often have you read him to say stuff like
As we said before so say I now again if any man preach any other gospel unto you than the one which we have preached let him be accursed. Gal.1:9 quoting Paul the apostle.
And he uses this to damn and curse and call people filthy pigs and perverts and I know not what.
Well what is wrong with that? surely he is quoting scripture isn't he? isn't he?
Yes he is quoting scripture but he is quoting it to the WRONG people, he is quoting it to the Galatians who Paul said had been bewitched by false brethren, it was the false brethren who had bewitched them who were accursed not the poor foolish Galatians who had been bewitched.
To the Galatians themselves Paul was full of tenderness, pleading with them to come back to the simplicity of the gospel they had heard at the beginning, pleading with them to become once more as he himself was.
People as believe in the works based salvation far, far, outnumber those who believe in salvation by faith alone. We know they are saved for they have the testimony. The problem starts when they attend discipleship classes or when they read "holiness" books
You cain't blame Christians for having a warmhearted regard for the people who first brought them the gospel, in their early days as Christians they take all the feed they can. It is unfortunate that they also imbibe this works based salvation and holiness teachings.
The only way to wean them off it is by patient teaching, showing them the better way, proving your doctrine by scripture.
