I for one, will promise not to call someone "anti-Semitic" if they have reasoned arguments stating where they believe Israel has done wrong and I would hope you could do the same, namely not saying that someone is "bought off by the Israeli lobby"...

I apologize for some of the comments that I included. My frustration got the best of me.
I have re-posted my reply to Mr. Heyboer. If you consider any part of this latest post out-of-bound, please let me know specifically what needs to be addressed.

Naude, and a short essay by myself on the challenge of the Belhar to the CRC: will we become a truly "confessing" church? Here is the URL http://www.rca.org/NETCOMMUNITY/Page.aspx?pid=3… Continue
