Hi Charles,
Actually, I don't recall Paul listing his credentials, at
least not in reference to the worldly people/institutions of his
day. I have noticed whenever someone does something really, really
bad, they become instant celebrities. Case in point, Monica
Lewinski. Another case in point, Jesus Barabbas. The world loves its
own.
Reuben 's rebukes may be needed in some places and among some people, but
in attacking Mormonism, which teaches Christian virtues to millions, I must
say I think Reuben degraded himself and will eventually pay the
same price as others who have thought to pull Mormonism down for
the sake of worldly applause and approval.
He should have stuck to attacking the religion he originally
rejected, Catholicism, since he could not abide its teachings, or atheism, or to
preaching away at times and places where great wickedness rules, such as
the Mardi Gras.
"We believe the first principles of the gospel are, first faith in
the Lord Jesus Christ, second, repentance, third baptism by immersion for the
remission of sins, and fourth, the laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy
Ghost." (4th Article of Faith of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints)
For which of these principles does Reuben et. al.
persecute us?
Peace, BlaineRB
