The invective and harsh words are getting awfully out of hand.
Gentleness, patience, and love are just as important to any Christian
apologetic as good answers, logical thinking, and solid argumentation.
The fruit of the Spirit seems noticeably absent from all of this
fighting.

"If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be
destroyed by each other." (Galatians 5:15)

"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what
is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may
benefit those who listen....Get rid of all bitterness, rage, and anger,
brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and
compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just in Christ God
forgave you." (Ephesians 4:29-32)

By His sovereign grace,
