No, this bothered me. I had pangs of conscience long ago. That's why I separated myself from "the ministry." To be prejudiced and judgmental against other believers is wrong, but it cannot be used to support the crusade for the definition of idolatry.
Isn't it a little unfair to say that I believe only "red letter" words, when my real comment was just this: If the case against idolatry in God's people was so great, don't you think that the Lord would have mentioned it while on earth? Can we both be "fair and balanced?"
