Oh well!!   It is I who called you a heretic, Judy: that is correct.   I know and JD who sits in your "amen" corner seconded it,  of course   But you branded yourself with your continued linking of me to the "Church Fathers." The truth is you had ample opportunity to recognize the validity of my rebuttal, before actually being labeled, thus having plenting of time to relent. But rather than do that, you intesified the rhetoric, several more times attaching both John and myself to the Church fathers, even picking up on my use of the term "patristics," adding it to your assault. If you do like the label, then please cease with the ad hominem arguments, attaching me to the fathers and dismissing my comments on the basis of that association; for when you do that, you are employing a fallacious form of argumentation.   Bill, you are off in a rhetorical world of theological words that I know nothing about.  I am interested in God and His Word which could be common ground for us but you appear to want to drag anyone who dialogues with you off into this "other" and then get upset when I identify it's roots.  Just what do Baxter and the boys teach? Where does the concept of Perichoresis come from?   Judy, I am asking you to please address the content of my statements. Rebut them if you wish -- with Scripture or whatever other source you would like to use -- but leave the attacks and attachments out of it. Do this and you will find that the brand was not deep enough to scar and will soon heal over. If you're as right as you think you are, your arguments will stand sans the fallacies.   So far as I am concerned Bill I am not attacking and assaulting you and it saddens me that you would see it that way. I can not control anyone's tongue; if you want to throw verbal stones at me - then this is your responsibility before the Lord, not mine. Even if you do see me as your enemy.   Thank you, Bill
