John,

You bring yet more accusations, assertions, personal insults… one thing we can finally agree on is that this is pointless. You didn’t come here to learn or even argue, but only to bash and deny.

In spite of the efforts of male supremacists the world over, rest assured that we do indeed value the scriptures over the personal rage of those who cling jealously to society’s privileges. We have been made free by Jesus Himself, and gifted by His Spirit, never again to be enslaved or restricted by the power-hungry. We know the Truth and it has indeed set us free. We have only one Master and Judge to whom we will give an account.

Those who believe we are so wrong never show any compassion or concern for us. They shoot those they perceive to be wounded, and trample those they fear. When they see our boldness and strength, they sometimes border on the hysterical in their obsession with stamping us out. I will never fathom how anyone who comprehends the love of Christ for all of us could harbor such disdain for fellow believers.
