Some examples of the non-abusive, non-insinuating, Christian comments by Jim Beale. There certainly is no sarcasm, ad-homeniem, irrelevant, or caustic language here.
By the way Jim, have you figured out how to interpret the Westminister Confession of Faith yet?
Also, since you always close with "In Christ", what do you think your Christ would think of your constant caustic and derisive tone?

Oh dear. Gross ignorance on display.
The fool's hermeneutic I've seen employed by those on the list ...
You can read it and become disabused of your foolishness in about 15 minutes.
.. for all the bluster you've managed to muster, you've really said nothing at all, buster.
Good grief man, this is child's play! One should always try to reconcile things, otherwise you'll live in a lonely little white room with a funny jacket that ties in the back, and be fed through a straw.
Oh most noble sir, why is it that you persist in this flocculent thinking? Your entire argument is a bald begging-of-the-question! How is it that one such as you (by this I mean a former English teacher) could make such an absurd statement?
Kind sir, ... I am well aware of your scrupulous honesty, sir. ... you are either (1) careless, or (2) ignorant of the current state of the discussion, or (3) simply attempting to cast aspersions to shame your opponent. However, in order to assuage your evident hostility in this regard
I'd be tempted to consider that you are merely writing this in suppression of the truth and to avoid humbling yourself before Christ.
