1 | Divorce for no sexual life ever - OK? | Matt 19:9 | justme | 171097 | ||
Jeff: Tell me where do you see youself in all this? How do your responses dislpay an attituse of reconcillation, mercy, grace, and Christian Love. This is a test of your Christian dignity as well is it not. I fear temper being brought to the serface, and might I ask on what Biblical example you are asking me to go "home"? If we were going by who has so blunt as to say either believe as me or leave, then there only one so far as to make such a suggestion. I personally believe ther is room for any and all who will speak the truth in love. Often the Father shows us His love by dicipline, and Hebrews says it is not pleasent. If I have got you or anyone else to look at the way questions are answered I gladly take the words that wound. Again I see no Scripture to back a single word you speak. Again I suggest you pray before you put a finger on the key board. Stop and rethink your responsees, is this how I am attempting to bring whatever kind of person (you might think I am) who is attempting to convay a serious message. I assure this is not childs play, I never play at such serious issues. Read over some of my nearly 1700 posts, then draw a better conclusions. Blessings. Justme |

Hello justme, Again I would encourage you to reread your first post in this thread. You might reread my response to you as well; as this response does not demonstrate an accurate reflection of my statements. Attempting to reverse the argument I made to you, and apply it back to me, serves no real purpose. Speaking of attitude, reconcilliation, mercy, grace, and Christian love carries little weight when you do not demonstrate those things. I was not (and do not make a habit) of addressing your teachings or attitude in the 1,699 posts you made before the one I responded to. I was responding only to the one in this thread. Again, read it. It was abusive and disrespectful to say the least. It was also very accusitory towards the brothers and sisters involved. I'm still not quite sure where your comments regarding the post having a focus on the issue of sex came from. You speak of attitude, mercy, grace, and those other things; your original post displayed none. To reemphasize my point in my original response to you. I was not asking you to "go home". I was trying to say: If you can not respond to a thread with the attitude of grace, mercy and Christian love, it is better not to respond at all. Therefore, "click" on the "HOME" button (top left) and choose another thread that doesn't offend you so. There was no statement, nor was there an insinuation that if you don't "agree" you should leave. If my statement was taken in that context, I appologize. It was not intended that way. You comment "I see no Scripture to back a single word you speak." Please re-read the thread. Much scritpture was offered throughout, by myself and others. Finally Justme, you write: "If I have got you or anyone else to look at the way questions are answered I gladly take the words that wound." Shouldn't this be my statement. It was me that was calling attention to your inappropriate response to the thread. You accurately comment that this is all a test of my Christian dignity as well. Have I failed as being as Christ-like as I can in my response to you. Yes I have, forgive me for that. Does my failing excuse or futher lagitimize your oringinal post in this thread? No it doesn't. Who is wrong? It would appear that we both are. Perhaps we should both take your advice to pray before putting a finger on the keyboard. I see that you have attached another post after this one. I have not read it yet but promise to. I may not respond to it though, as it appears to me that the continuation of this type of dialogue is neither productive (for the forum as a whole) nor the intended purpose of the forum. Feel free to email me if you would like, for this or any other discussion. My email address is included in my profile. If I have offended you I do appologize. You are my brother and I have confidence that this type of disagreement will not permanently divide us. Christ's Love, Jeff |

Jeff: Gal. 5:6..."The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love." NIV. There comes a time when there is such vain effort to defend ones point that love is ignored. That is and was my point. Show me where you are headed with love as the objective? I read in your profile you respect the views and oppinions of others. I have not seen anything but attacks from you. Your post is offensive. I find it very difficult to believe your appology is ment in a spirit of brotherly concern, say nothing of Christian love. I will not say something that will impress others who read this. I do feel this is much more that a "type of disagreement". I remind you Paul and Barnabas had a very serious split. I am open and honest to say until the Lord interviens we are very divided. When you sign off "Christ's Love" you need to use this ending in a more honest way. Justme |
