GeorJoy: Greetings and thank you for the response. As I read the notes the thread has had 11 notes. You sparked a nice dialogue and that's good in my book. George I believe that I understand your question and it's presumptions. What i was responding to was the insuation that a large number of Christions are stupid and lazy in the way they handle and understand the Bible. To that I am not so quick to label Christians in to the catagory of lazy or stupid. My concern is when someone comes to Christ, unless the person introducing Christ, takes the required effort to start them on a soild foundation, we do a diservice and set the newybeliever up for becoming a lazt stupid Christian. To me it is abundantly clear we who think are so much mature have a high notch on the belt record. But when it comes to discipling we do a miserable job! Then because of Our failure to assure growth by taking the required time to disciple these new believers, we are as much or more responsible for the laziness and stupidness you have discribed. I in no way am saying this with unkindness or anything negative toward you. I said this with a heavy heart and lived enough years to see the other side of the stupid lazy people, and how they got to be such. I hope this helps clear up what I was responding to you about. In other words I said all this to say, don't be so quick to make a call that someone is stupid or lazy. Your tone of voice in your quuestion comes accross as being ridged and stern and seeing only black or white. Some times we, ourselves play a significant part in why Christians do not mature as you have. Any thoughts? Blessings. justme |

What can I say? I made no assunptions. Only an observance which is not unique to this or any other forum. You assume that you have read what you have not read. Have you re-read as I suggested? God Bless George |

GerJoy: Yes. I am saying your observations are slanted in a narrow presperctive, and that you night consider widening your scope of understanding. In widening your view, I believe you might see better why people are lazy and stupid Christians. Blessings. justme |

Justme I just finished reading your user info. I admire and applaud your activity. My prayers will be with you and yours concerning your ailment and your ministries. I pray our Lord judges you more mercifully than you have me. By the way, I haven't CALLED Christians or anyone else stupid or lazy herein. I challenge you or anyone else to prove otherwise. If I did, its here with my signature. If not... Well I wouldn't expect an appology. Just a brotherly Thank you would be more than expected. In case it evaded your notice, I only asked the question "Are you stupid?" and "Or are you simply Lazy?" I labeled the post "Are we Stupid or Lazy? Our Soul at stake," and in my response to MotherSuperior, I corrected the "yous" with "we's. I should wonder why my post would hurt anyone quiet so bad as it has yourself. Your insistance on continuing your arguing is defeating the purpose. With all due respect to you and your thoughts, my answers to your accusations and insinuations will thus be herewith ceased, May God bless, protect, watch over and be with you and yours. Respectfully George |

GeorJoy: Let me start by saying I sincerely aplogize for any word that came across as an accusation or insinuation. May I clear up that in no way was hurt, however this was read into or fro, my responses was not what I ever intended. Nor was I arguing with you, or what ever I said to allow a serious misunderstanding as what has takenplace. Again I offer my sincere aplpgies, this was never in my thoughts or intentions. Realizing that there was a serious misunderstanding of my intend messages, I can see how some how I did not recieve the thoughts you were intending for me to understand; then I can see how easy it would for you to make the intended message one thing and me to fail to get your point as well. I hope this makes sense. I encourage you to go over my notes I have submitted over the all most 1000 responses so far. You will see I have a good number of times said that respect and kindness are the key to good dialogue. I can assure you I am never to proud to heal a wound that someone has made me aware of. I have made a number of apologies in the past, and I am sure that I will again. For my view is it makes no dofference if I see or feel that I am wronged or have wronged aoneone else, the importand issue is the be gracious and understanding. I hope this has taken place. Thank you for the concern for my health and the struggle I am in with this serious illness. I have been medically disabled and I am now not in paid ministry, that's notto say not ministering, just not receiving a salary, I do not believe a Christain is ever realeased from the ministry God has give us all. I hope this is a door opening, and not a door shut as far as dialogue is concerned. Blessings to you George. justme |
