Dori: "Mondo isn't even Christian and you show him more respect than your fellow Christians. Do you hate Cahtolics that much more than atheists? "

Witnesses would say that in our history I have at times bent over backwards for you. I have offered to send you Bibles as a gift and expressly stated that they were under no obligation. They were an UNCONDITIONAL GIFT, and attempted to work with you in a private study of the Word, and within a week I pulled back a mangled and bloodied stump. I was contacting Gevalia Coffee for their catalogue so I could send you some of their wonderful coffee that I get for my husband and Mother. I even was designing a tea caddy to crochet for you to include in the package. I crochet pansies and flowers, and they are quite beautiful and coveted gifts. Everyone warned me that you are not to be trusted, and in my na�vet� I ignored them. They said I was �casting pearls.� Sure enough, they had the opportunity to gloat and say �I told you so!� because I pulled back a bloodied stump within four days. But my Christian friends have to mych grace to have actually uttered the words: I told ya so. They didn�t have to. In addition to that, you abused my peace offerings and you tried to use my kindness towards you as a dividing wedge against my friends. So, doris. Been thar, Done dat.

Once again you attempt to mis-represent me and my motives. I do not hate Roman Catholics. I do, however, consider Rome the enemy of true Christianity, but that is because of its doctrines and history. I did not make Romanism what it is; I simply document it. I do not hate Roman Catholics; I hate the blasphemous Roman Catholic system. I hate it for the same reason that I hate Evolution or Communism or any other false system. I hate it because it is false yet it professes to be truth; I hate it because it stands between man and the truth; I hate it because its pompous claims have detracted from the exclusive mediatorship of Jesus Christ; I hate it because multitudes have gone out into eternity lost because of it's false gospel.

Does someone protest that it is wrong to hate even a system? The Psalmist disagrees: "Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I HATE EVERY FALSE WAY" (Psalm 119:128). The Lord Jesus Christ commended the churches for hating the deeds of the Nicolaitans, and He encouraged the churches that He also hated both the deeds and doctrine of the Nicolaitans (Rev. 2:6,15). The term "Nicolaitan" means "to conquer the people," and probably referred to the early stages of that proud hierarchical spirit which later resulted in the formation of the Roman Catholic Church.

It is a strange and fearful quirk of human nature to charge a man with being an enemy though his only motive is to preach the truth. Thus Paul inquired of the Galatians who were being led astray by false teachers: "Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?" (Gal. 4:16).

I don't guess doris and I will ever have an honest exchange. It is not in her spirit.
