Subject: [TruthTalk] Ad hominem
remarks
Dear Slade,
Long before you came on board, I dealt with the same
incoherence. Glen was accusing me of being a judaiser who supports
Hitler before he left. Go figure. Ad
hominem remarks and name calling come from those who lack proof for
their claims. The practice of placing words in the mouths of others who never said them is simply
a violation of the commandment that says not to bear false witness against
one's neighbor.
It was interesting to see how long such a false witness
would be banted about before some list contributors would realize who
fabricated it. I found dealing with this to be a
waste of precious time. I encourage list members
to always ask Who? What? Where? When? Why? How? This strikes at the heart of the truth. There is "truth" and
there is "the truth." That is what I seek after.
For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and
testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou
walkest in the truth. 3JO
1:3
Grace be with you, mercy, [and] peace, from God the
Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and
love. 2JO 1:3
