So Sprinklers, How would you answer this? | I'd tell him that just because I can read English and have read Shakespeare that it doesn't make me a Shakesperean scholar. I'd also note to him that his dorked up ecclesiology, sacramentology, soteriology, and just about every other -ology hardly gives me confidence that he understands what he's reading even if he can read the language. |
