No, of course you won't. For that would mean having to admit
you are wrong. And that you will not do. THAT, Sarah, is
unchristian.

No, it is not. What YOU do is unchristian. For you teach
grave falsehoods even as you disguise their grossness under
smooth, gentle words.

Actually, no. You are quoting Him out of context. I wish I
could say I was surprised.

The only 'lonanimitas' YOU show is persistence in doing
evil! Don't expect a reward from God for that.

And where IS your 'modestia', Sarah? You show none of that
when you refuse to admit when you are wrong.

And how could _you_ claim to post 'sine simulatione'? Why,
you are still hiding the fact that you are trying to con
people into believing that Christ is
