One other thing…when I questioned why CARM was allowing “christdependent” to attack posters and did nothing about her attacks on egalitarians, I also questioned why the name “christdependent” when she was not apparently depending on Christ or on grace.  My comment was not a question of her salvation but rather a comment about her “depending on Christ” to give grace to others.  When one attacks and calls other people names are they showing that they are dependent on Christ in their actions?  Jesus’ example is that of grace towards brethren in Christ and those who regularly refuse to give grace to others may be dependent but they are not being Christ dependent since Jesus says that we are to have grace with each other and to love one another.

.

It is amazing at how people can twist one’s words.  It is not uncommon to say “If you are a Christian you will forgive others”.  This is not an accusation that one isn’t a Christian.  It is an assumption of obligation to do certain things because one is a Christian.
