Hi Suzy, I am not sure what your purpose is here. You have been on the forum for about 5 or 6 days and have jumped right into a discussion that has a very long history. A certain edge has built up during this conversation they have been having. Both of them have to communicate through this edge. You seem to be able to see John's edge but not David's. When Lance points this out you jump on him and send some judgment his way. I would suggest reading some of the archives so that you may understand what is happening from both sides here.
Questioning people's salvation has become a recurring theme on this forum for one of its cliques. They believe that it is a nice and effective tactic. In reality, it is a hindrance to dialogue. Knowing that this has been going on for months may help you understand John's reaction to David questioning John's grasp of the gospel. It is like an iceberg; a raw edged tip is above the water but much more lurks beneath.

It was offensive to you after you read it. But after David explained himself you rejected his explanation. Take him at his word. Believe that he meant it as an honest question so that he could better understand where you were coming from. Iron sharpens iron. And I am sure that hurts when it is done. I have felt it.
