Geesh. How do you even counter something like this?

Fred,

You don't! Such individuals are living according to the world, the flesh and the devil and thus words of wisdom which are found in the Word of God have no effect when there is no spiritual life. However, all that is required of us is to point out to such individuals, particularly those who make a profession of faith, that such behaviour is not of God and it demands repentance. One of the true marks of Christ's sheep is that they will love the brethren. Of course, Howard in all probability doesn't think that Spurgeon was a "brother in Christ", and thus he perhaps thinks he is warranted to cast such pejorative statements at the man as well as all Baptists.

I almost feel the need to apologize for Howard as I am no doubt just as offended and shocked by what he wrote as you are. I do hope you understand that Howard does NOT speak for the Board, it's Staff nor for any of its members, but he speaks only for himself.

In His Grace,
