Oh, and one more choice tidbit from the CCC mutual congratulatory society: HPK/Craig Coffey says (there, of course, since “God led” him to leave this blog) that he “knows” readers from egalitarian blogs read at the CCC-forum. (Well, duh! He’s hardly subtle in the tracks he left from here; I for one have read the ccc’s poison pit for years.) So what do you think: he says that he wants egalitarians (which he seems to be unable or unwilling to spell properly) to “come out into the [ccc’s] light” and post there, where he claims that he will offer said egalitarians the courtesy he “wishes” he had received on their blogs. (I guess he’d really have cried if he’d been responded to in the same manner in which he fired his volleys here.) Talk about revisionist history!

I’m still laughing over that “invitation.” The highly discourteous and unchristlike behavior he exhibited here and at Danni’s blog shows me that we’d be fools to believe such a ruse. And trust me: you do NOT want Michael McMillan (keeper of the ccc group) nor the other members of that group to have your e-mail address. The dive-bombing currently restricted to their occasional unsolicited visits to egalitarian blogs would turn up in far greater numbers in your e-mail in-box, the moment you dared to post anything about the truth of biblical equality on the ccc-forum and defend it against their lies and ridicule. I’ve seen the participants there over and over again, tear up egalitarians for sport, just because they can. It’s fun for them. They’ve convinced themselves that biblical equality isn’t, and Christian egalitarians aren’t, so there’s nothing wrong with treating said Christian egalitarians as terribly as possible. They are not honest people, and they most assuredly do NOT want honest, respectful discourse with egalitarians. If you doubt me, browse through their messages and see what they have to say about egalitarians. You won’t find an honest statement about egalitarians or biblical equality from any of them. You will, however, find that egalitarians are a favorite targets for their scornful lies. I cannot imagine speaking of the worst unrepentant sinner in the way they take pride in mischaracterizing egalitarians. Somewhere, they’ve so lost their focus on Jesus Christ that they think it’s acceptable to lie about, defame, and do verbal violence to fellow members of the human race, let alone fellow Christians (and I will not stoop to their tactic of dismissing them as though they’re not Christians — misguided, absolutely, but not beyond the power of Christ to bring them back). But then, such are the fruits of this world’s love of power and control. Remember, they idolize patriarchy. They’ve even deluded themselves into thinking it’s compatible with Christianity.

I guess it just sticks in Craig’s craw that we can read his own confessions at ccc about his motives, but see no need to muddy ourselves by confronting him further about them on his own toxic soil. He was itching for a fight, but all he got here and at Danni’s blog was the truth, along with plenty of truth-telling about his dishonest intentions. He got found out, and he’s embarrassed that it was a bunch of women who saw through him so easily, so now he’s blustering like the poser he is. And yes, we did have some observations to make about his lack of maturity and wisdom. And the thing patriarch wannabes can stand the least is to not be taken seriously. So he grossly distorts and summarizes what he was up to, and his complaints to his ccc buds sparks a flurry of comment about how horrible egalitarians are, and everybody pities poor Mr. Coffey for how he got treated by those who saw through his ruse and called him on it.

I suspect he knows the truth, and recognizes that biblical equality is the real deal, but like so many who prefer this world’s sinful patterns of patriarchy, he prefers the darkness to the light. So no, Craig, we won’t abandon the light for the ccc’s chosen darkness, just to give you more fodder for your folly. Just in case you harbored any illusion that the flock in these parts couldn’t smell the predator’s scent at ccc. This life is way too short to waste it on ccc-style game playing. At such time as you want to actually deal honestly with the truth of biblical equality and tell the truth about the Christians who embrace it, you’ll find egalitarians will more than meet you halfway. But your games were neither original nor skillfully played. You were right to crawl back to ccc. They quite obviously welcome your twisted version of reality.
