Just wanted to let you know that I'm not ignoring your post. I just can not reply to your request at this moment.

As you well know I'm pretty long winded in my post and the timing (husband, dinner) I don't have that extra minute right now.

I don't want to just post anything just to satisfy your request and I definitely do want to pray about this that I post what the Lord God would have me to do .... so I will get back to you when the time is right.

Don't give in. Just stay away from them, as God said in Proverbs 14:7
"Stay away from a fool, for you will not find knowledge on their lips."

Who needs your pearls when we have found the one of great price....... Christ in you, you know the Christ you believes is bound by the letter, and who you refuse through unbelief to at the very least be open to the idea that is where Christ is found. Blind leading the blind sharing with one another your fake pearls, the same pearls anyone with the mind of Christ recognizes are fake, along with the fake grace that allows for sin to abound over grace. Even the unbeliever recognizes that your pearls are knock offs.

Is that why you think I am a fool? Because of a verse in the Bible?

If it weren't for that verse, would you still think I was a fool?

Then you'd best avoid yourself.

Twin,

I'm going to ask you again: why do you think I am a fool?

As several others have pointed out, Jesus didn't think too highly of those who called others fools. He said that they would be in danger of hell, according to the Bible (Matthew 5:22).

Do you not accept Matthew 5:22 as the Word of God?

Other than re-affirming the hypocrisy of certain people who take out of context Biblical proper usage of Matthew 5:22, why keep asking if your bravado of being raised \ going through Catechism class has any merit to it?

You know that part of the answer is your wantonly misdirected attention to whose opinion matters.

Feel free to be skeptical of my LCMS upbringing, including K-8 schooling. And I'll go ahead and forget the whole Matthew 5:22 thing, since it's a bit of a red herring at this point.

Again, my main question for you is this: why do you think I'm a fool?

Is it because of Psalm 14:1?
