Puritan Board Junior
Hello everyone.
This will be my final post to the Puritan Board. I have appreciated the fellowship and encouragement so many of you have been over the last two years, from sharpening my understanding of what it means to be Reformed, to providing assistance after Katrian, to the prayers that have been offered on my behalf.
Having said that, however, I have been deeply saddened as I have seen a few people on this board run off a fair number of people who either were seeking to understand the Reformed faith or who didn't conform to what these individuals thought it meant to be Reformed. These people (all of whom belong to the same demonination and some of whom are moderators) run roughshod over those with whom they disagree, often belittling their intelligence or mocking their questions, while the Board owners sit idly by and do nothing about it. These people are filled with a spiritual elitism and arrogance that is, frankly, nauseating and totally unbecoming of those who name the name of Christ. I had hoped that I had left this sort of thing behind when I abandoned my Fundamentalist upbringing a decade ago, but I guess I was wrong.
It is my prayer that the Puritan Board will continue to be a useful tool. It is further my prayer that these people will come to know something of the grace of God that they tout.
