Note that the effect of rejecting sound doctrine is, in effect, widespread incivility (rivalry, insults, suspicions, and friction). Yes, welcome to the modern Western world.
How can you take someone who says things like this seriously?
Or are we really not expected to see his derisive comment as insulting? Suspicious? Frictious? Rivaling? These are the things he defines as incivil, and as the consequence of rejecting sound doctrine. Whatever else he says, he has identified himself as “rejecting sound doctrine.”
I agree with most of what he says. I just do not understand why he cannot make his comments civilly, instead of with “rivalry, insults, suspicions and friction.”
