Yep! Teal is a straight-up guy .I earned the tag as "trouble-maker" from my exchanges with Blaine,Sanlen, etal,re the " bibical inerrancy" and "revelation apart from scripture" issues .The "tag" sorta spilled over into the "catholic bashing arena" ,though I didn't participate .

Andrew is one of the few to acknowledge that and I appreciate it.

Most of us protestants don't identify with our particular chosen denomination to the extent the Roman Catholic brethren identify with the CHURCH , so Teal is correct when he [ obliqley ] makes the point that I can't gauge the depth of the hurt caused by the remarks posted above .

My admiration for Billy Graham probably does not approach the level of veneration he feels for his church so I have to take him at his word . I have no basis for comparison .Maybe my skin is not thicker than his .

Of course , as I've said before on the late CATC , I don't recall if it was wife # 4 or #5 took the last one of my feelings that could be hurt !

Never holler whoa or look back in a tight place
