re Note 845.0 by CSC32::J_CHRISTIE:

        And then there is the following, in Luke:

        "6:41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy
        brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine
        own eye?"

Indeed, it is ironic.

However, since I believe that that those wrestling with some of the
weightier matters have missed some of the critical essentials, I
think it applies either way.

    Richard:
    
    It has been openly proclaimed by fundamentalists in this conference
    that as the Bible states, the just shall live by faith.  Faith alone
    saves based upon God's mercy and love for us.
    
    My question to you is, who here is consuming camels and who isn't?

    You, I suspect, believe I am one who swallows the spitting
    beast of the desert.  Am I correct?

    If I made an implication, it was about who was being accused of swallowing
    camels, not about who was swallowing camels.
    
    Thank you for quoting me exactly.  It does say what I said it says and
    nothing else.
    
    Shalom,
    Richard
