Is your comment pointed at anyone else but me? If so, please state, for the record, who it is pointed at...
I'm tired of your jabs. Who would ever claim that I was a "theologian"? I wouldn't claim it. Do I think about things. Absolutely, yes. Why? Because my parents raised me in a sect (some say, cult) of Christianity and I've been forced to really think to clear all the crud out of my head.
I'll respond substantively to Peter, because he is bringing forward some very good things for consideration.

For the record, I haven't done this and I wouldn't do it (branding all as "idolaters"). Did you ever
once see me call anyone on the last forum a "cultist"? No. I rarely used the word
cult.
I agree with you about mercy, but God is not slack with his mercy. You have to know that he is both holy and full of mercy. The two fit together. If you only focus on the mercy, then you err. If you only focus on the holiness, then you err.
Sorry, but I am going to start calling you out personally on some of your comments from now on.

P.S. I don't mind your substantive comments. You have a very bad habit of focusing things personally. I put up with it on the other forum as moderator out of care for you. I took a lot of heat for it. Let's call a spade a spade. You misbehaved there. You're doing it again.
