It seems to me that the Bells do protest too much. That wasn't the word, or else that wasn't the context, that would apply in this situation. The Bells know very well about their own politicking, how they laboriously promote themselves at my expense. So?
By their Catholic definition you are only a Christian if they say you are.
Whereas we in our evangelical circles say that you are a Christian if you know and have experienced Jesus in your heart.
So if you are going to use the Tribe of Asher wrench from the Lost Books of Eden to say that only one can be true, then the other must be false, well that wasn't the Biblical Canon that we agreed to, so you're just out there on your own. Don't except me to get too excited about your gangster mythology.
