There are any number of scriptures and counsel that affirm study and seeking for truth, and I trust you aren't suggesting they be ignored.

What I disdain is dogma, leftist liberal or whatever. It's all kindred. I'm facinated by it but disdain it.

I could care less about your objection. I speak the truth on this matter and you know it. Arch knows it too, but is too arrogant to admit it. Whether you accept or reject this and choose to complicate the gospel is yours and other "intellectuals" problems, not mine. It is true that sometimes the more learned people think they are, in reality shows just how dumb and easily sucked in they truly are...and it's almost always due to their own arrogance and willful pride. You "intellectuals" confuse knowledge with the application of wisdom and show it frequently.

This is an inappropriate approach, in my mind. Rocky has been forthright about his circumstances, perhaps far too forthright im my opinion, but I do not think that alone makes the circumstances fair game. This sort of ad hominem argument should not be used here, among us, IMO.
I don't agree with Rocky generally, but I have no idea how many of us have had similar circumstances (or should have had them) and I really can't condone discussing those possibilities in this way.

The point he makes is that we have weak testimonies because we don't approach a matter simplistically. He takes a simplistic approach yet still struggles. So what makes our approach worse than his. I admit it is inappropriate but for him to challenge the testimonies who examine matters in a different respect is equally inappropriate and thus my bad judgment.
