One of my favorite verses is Matthew 11:15 “Whoever has ears, let them hear.” Ignoring the subtle ableism, I’ve always interpreted that to mean those who disagree with me simply don’t have ears to hear and are not living biblically.

Famous mid century Christian, Bon Ihoffer...half the people who love his work pronounce his name entirely differently and wrong.

My favourite option is the third one, because whenever I put a question mark at the end of an offensive statement, it immediately makes me openminded and humble. "I've prayerfully considered and you might be a dumbass?"

I need to learn more about Bon Hoffer. I keep hearing his name, but have never read him.

"Let’s use you as an example"...

ETL, you have always been so gracious! Unfortunately, I must point out that "the British man" was not on the list of famous Protestants (Malcolm Luther et al)!
