We much prefer speaking of the positives in the lives of Believers, but sometimes, we feel that we need to refute detractors, for the sake of those who may not know the truth. While we appreciate and embrace constructive criticism, we do not receive criticism that is based on misrepresentation. Some people set up a “straw man,” a false assumption about what we teach and then proceed to tear down their mistaken assumption. Thus it is good for people to know that what is being torn down is not something that we want to lift up in the first place.

It is in that spirit that we respond.
