1 | Who do you love that you are unwill...? | John 13:34 | Xerxes | 128255 | ||
Dear EdB, You wrote: "I agree but I also think your missing something. There seems to be an agenda here on the part of some of the other participants and I'm curious to see how they intend to play it out." Stultis hasn't posted to this thread since last night around midnight. It has been mostly you and me. That leads me to believe you are suggesting that I have an agenda. We can cease the discussion now if that's all you think of me. I haven't done anything to provoke you. Point of fact, I have made an earnest and sincere attempt to clearly understand your position in order to consider it. If this is not agreeable to you, say so, and I will not offend you with further posts. Xerxes |

2 | Who do you love that you are unwill...? | John 13:34 | EdB | 128270 | ||
Xerxes I'm so sorry to offend you. I must have got confused, but when someone comes into a thread saying I was unkind to another, inquisitioning me, taking my statements to places they were never intended and pressing me to explain myself. I mistake that as having an agenda. However you have now reassured me you don’t so obviously I can't be talking about you. Once again I'm sorry that stated in such a way that you saw yourself in rwsponse to Sir Pent. And let me say once more I thought Sir Pent's observations were excellent by the way. As I said in my other response to you it is obvious to me that I’m unable to communicate my position this subject of “all you need is Love” in a way you can understand it, therefore how about you expressing your position and we can examine it and see if we agree? I’m sure that would open the dialogue in a way that we both could understand each other and we can resume our study on this subject together. EdB |

3 | Who do you love that you are unwill...? | John 13:34 | Xerxes | 128284 | ||
Sure EdB. I'll do the best I can to explain what I think the scriptures are saying. I'll do it on your question post so we can narrow this all down to a single line if that's okay with you? I would like to address this, though: "I must have got confused, but when someone comes into a thread saying I was unkind to another, inquisitioning me, taking my statements to places they were never intended and pressing me to explain myself. I mistake that as having an agenda." Brother, I don't want to sound in any way unkind to you, but recognize that you were on the verge of telling Stultis that he wasn't a Christian. Do you not agree that this was on the verge of going too far? Do you not also agree that it needed to be tempered a little by an outside influence? If I wanted to be a part of the conversation, do you not agree that I needed to be fully conscious of your position so I could ably discuss the topic with you? And if Stultis was not the only one to see that your statement seemed to say what he took it for, and as I also perceived at first, do you not agree that it is best that an explanation be provided in order to clarify what was otherwise becoming a nasty situation? I don't believe you disagree with me. It was all just poor communication, and we should put it behind us. If I did you wrong, forgive me please. Don't hold a grudge. I'll try to express what I think on the other thread. You needn't respond to this one unless you want to dredge up what I'm hoping we can put behind us. Xerxes |

4 | Who do you love that you are unwill...? | John 13:34 | EdB | 128291 | ||
Xerxes I'm a little at a lost to know what to do. You asked me direct questions that I think I need to address. Further you state as merely observations what really appear as accusations and then you close by saying, I needn't respond unless I want to dredge up what you hope we can put behind us. Doesn't leave me much room does it? I guess that is considered fair where you come from, and so to prevent the possibility of further misunderstandings and to promote Christian brotherhood I will withhold response and comment. EdB |
