Rogers' Island

anonymous said Mon Nov 17, 07:05:00 PM 2008 on "Grace and truth to you" "A doctrine cannot be unscriptural without doing actual harm. God's way is right; man's way is wrong. And when the doctrine on the matter of salvation is wrong, it is certain to hinder the cause of Christ."
This statement sheds light on what has happened at Bellevue Baptist. Unquestionably the cause of Christ is hindered at Bellevue. Ignoring the "full" sovereignty of God and operating from an imaginary and mythological "island of righteousness" certainly hinders the cause of Christ as demonstrated by the saga of the history of Bellevue Baptist under the leadership of Adrian Rogers.

How true, yet how sad, that it is true.

Excerpts from "Cognitive Therapy of Personality Disorders," pp. 243-246:

Narcissistic Personality Disorder

The overinflated self image generates rage when disappointment occurs (check), and intermittent reinforcement maintains the self-image distortions (see "Straight Path" and "Folks Folly").

...

The narcissistic theme of self-involvement has evolved from an explanation for masturbation (while doing research) to a disorder of arrested personality development (check) to a personality impaired by maladaptive beliefs or an inflated self-image (check and check).

...

According to self-verification theory, self-esteem is the motivating force behind feedback seeking (Swann, 1990). Across a broad range of contexts, individuals with an inflated self-image tend to create and maintain a positive illusory bias where they solicit confirming positive feedback ("many are reading but few are commenting. Why?"), avoid self concept change (check), place uncomfortable demands on others (like dead men and their widows), and deal with dissonance via hostility and aggression (check).

Gee, sounds a lot like you, Chuck!

I think you should show me some love instead of all the hate you are spewing. all these pot shots you are taking at me and my precious family. You are causing untold suffering on us and we don't know how much more we can bear.

We are comming to the end of our rope and we just don't know where to turn for comfort.

Please spare us your vengence and hate!

Show us some love!!!


Sincerely,

Adrian & Joyce Rogers
