    As for all three questions, of course. Will you now answer mine?

    I asked earlier why a nonresponse to a letter/email indicates arrogance? Will you answer this at the least?

    I can see now that a response is unlikely. Ironic.

    I've done this a few times and never got the first response. Dr. Michael Brown was one. Sometimes between calls I listen to the program and call in once in a while. But he never gives an opposing view a chance, he talks over you and then hangs you up so you can't respond.

    And I'm not saying he is a false teacher, just confused a little on certain subjects.

    I have found that Pastors seldom like to talk with people beyond a certain point, because some of them, I feel, feel like they're being challenged. If you can open up dialogue, I would probably recommend faith specific questions. Instead of challenging questions, perhaps pose them in a manner that shows you are curious about why their faith is different than what might be considered orthodox. Most will probably invest some time in order to make a convert.


    God bless.

    Perhaps he has you on ignore?

    When I read the OP I saw the arrogance suggested in the Emergent Church Pastor:


    We could also impose arrogance in non-response itself.

    I hate to say it, but I have known Pastors that take an arrogant attitude towards certain types. One Pastor I know is this way towards atheists, and has all but written them off and deemed it unnecessary to even try to speak with them. Myself, I just don't understand that, as I want to talk to anybody I can.

    God bless.

    That would indicate arrogance.

    Evan has a long history of avoiding questions that challenge his opinions. This appears to be another chapter in the saga.

    I will repeat them for your benefit.

    For the third time, Why does a nonresponse to a letter/email indicate arrogance?

    And for the second time, If churches that ignore your letters are arrogant, should we also consider you to be the same because you ignore those you disagree with?

    Well, I do see ignore as a bit cowardly, but it was just a suggestion and assuming arrogance on his part without actually knowing is also suggestive.


    God bless.

    How is it cowardly to ignore a pest?

    Just a personal opinion of mine, not saying everyone who does it is cowardly.

    For me, I just couldn't bring myself to do it.


    God bless.

    I did not assume that he is arrogant. Just noting his apparent reasoning: Ignoring someone suggests arrogance.

    Well, I will say that this member seems to be a favorite target of several of the other members.

    And I can't stand bullys. Even if someone asked for it.

    ;)


    God bless.

    Because it shows they to be better than sound doctrine and unwilling to respond and give a defense of the faith.

    I do not ignore those I disagree with. I ignore those that harass me there is a big difference.

    Listening to a sermon on false prophets by Mac last night the way the false prophets have acted towards me should not be surprising. It's only so because I am in ignorance on what the scriptures say.

    I had several of them on ignore but know only one. I give them grace but my grace will not last forever and then it's judgment on the ignore list unless they repent of their ways in how they treat me.

    My approach is simply to meet them on their own level. They want to yank chains...I'm okay with that.

    ;)
