They are suggesting that you are sending coded messages by the use of the scripture passages to imply that Akinola is the devil. Supposedly the insiders in the double-secret librul conspiracy will get it but the average Episcopalian in the pew wouldn't get it. Also they think the average Episcopalian would be shocked, shocked I tell you, to learn what you are saying about that noble living saint in Nigeria. (as if most Episcopalians aren't already thinking worse of him and his fellow travellers.) <br /><br />I think they've been hitting the cheap tawny port in the sacristy a little too hard if you ask me, but anyway.<br /><br />My favorite part is their claim that the majority of us supposedly biblically illiterate Episcopalians wouldn't catch the scriptual reference. (Nevermind the quote from 1 Peter 5 is included in compline so it would at least sound familiar to us) It is the old "progressives don't really know, or heck, even like the Bible" game they love to play.<br />If only we were real Christians like the good and noble folks over at Virtue and StandFirm. Why then we would be as fundamentally Biblical as they are. Sigh.<br /><br />Oh, well. Rest assured that many of us did "catch" your double-secret coded message. Even without the secret message from Librul Sekular Command we are already wary of what Akinola and all of the others who would destroy the Episcopal Church are up to.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01945343859290558131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-5872881519792197842007-02-01T00:40:00.000-05:002007-02-01T00:40:00.000-05:00Now that Stand Firm has honed in on this post, jus...Now that Stand Firm has honed in on this post, just wait to see the reaction.

I look forward to lying prostrate before the cross for many hours that day and I'd hate to waste that gesture on the wrong day!<br /><br />On the other hand, as a fan of and believer along with Charles Williams, I think prayers aren't stuck to a single time and place - that God's time takes up prayers and uses them whenever and wherever needed. So if we can't nail this date down, I guess the feast of the Valentine will do as well as any other day, and God's Spirit will attribute our prayers to the right time.<br />Peace,<br />revLois KeenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
