What do you think his definition of "apostolic" is? You may be reading much more into his posts than is there.

Did you look at them? This person has a problem.

We could certainly fault him for leaving out a comma before "young man".

Wow. So the "If you don't believe like me you're going to burn in hell and you deserve it" post wasn't a problem for you then, I presume.

Let's parse what he wrote:
Quote:
|
Apostolic- following the Apostles' doctrine.
|
Who amongst us is willing to say that apostolic means anything other than...."following the apostle's doctrine"?
Quote:
|
If you are not Apostolic you are not saved.
|
There are scriptures that teach us that the doctrine of the apostles is foundational. Who is saved that doesn't adhere to the apostle's doctrine?
Quote:
|
Does that make you "better"?
|
Does being saved make you better?
Quote:
|
No, just means you won't burn in hell like you deserve.
|
Nope, being saved means you won't burn in hell like you deserve.
I fail to find any arrogance in these four sentences. Are there any more of his posts that we can pick apart and try to find a hint of arrogance?

Like I said to Notforsale, you might be reading your own preconceived suppositions into what he wrote.

That speaks much more to 'spiritual arrogance,' in my humble opinion.

Ok, I believe he said, "If you are not Apostolic you are not saved. Does that make you "better"? No, just means you won't burn in hell like you deserve."
I'm reading into that that he is an "apostolic" believer. I'm reading into this that if one doesn't believe as he, one will burn in hell.
Do I have it correct now to your satisfaction? Just wanna make sure because I think you may be defending someone you don't really want to be defending and if you agree with the previous paragraph, then I have a serious problem with your beliefs.

I think you have developed a severe case of Aliceaitis.
Be very careful or your head will start to swell and your will repeatedly say, "I'm more apostolic than all of you all."
