We need a reality check here.
In another thread I used the word "heresy" to indicate that there are doctrines that are within Christianity but are of a substantial difference to cause and maintain division within Christian groups, denominations, and congregations.
@Martin Marprelate accused me of using a “secular definition” of heresy as opposed to a “biblical definition”. I was just trying to use the English word. But he is right. I was using the word according to its definition (its “secular” definition) and not reaching back to for some obscure or biblical meaning. I meant the English word - the "dictionary definition" - (not a French, Latin, Greek or Kinglon form of a base word).
BUT by saying I am using a “secular definition” rather than a “biblical definition” @Martin Marprelate has also shown that he is being dishonest about the context of my post. He KNOWS what I was saying but object's to my use of a "secular definition" and provides his own definition. This is not honest discussion. This is the de-contextualization of my words to reconstruct them in another context in order to be offended and complain. It is wrong.
@InTheLight is right, it is obvious that this clique of Calvinists on the BB are offended by just about anything I say. The reason is because they are less than honest with what I do say.
Look, I am not the most articulate and certainly not the most politically correct. I say enough stupid stuff that there is no need to make stuff up about what I do say.
