Geoff:
I had noticed. Bear in mind that a person's Christian name (or given 
name if you prefer) does not necessarily indicate what their 
personality or world view will be.

In my own case, Geoffrey is a variant of "Godfrey" and comes from the 
German "Gottfried" which means "God's peace". Many of my friends over 
the years have observed that I was not well-named. :-)

I don't think I have ever publicly applied the word heretic directly 
to the Rosicrucians. What I have objected to is the fact that the 
observations you have made in regard to the Path of Liberation have 
taken Biblical passages and teaching completely out of their original 
context and that you have implied that Jesus never existed as a 
person.
