1 | Hi JesusFreak | 1 Cor 14:34 | jesusfreak508@aol.com | 58974 | ||
Yes. She did. And that is exactly the kind of accusations that Kalos makes with his 'Paul bashing' and 'God bashing' comments. It feels awful, doesn't it? You addressed her question, Ed. With the forensics/witness reply. He didn't. And hasn't. If you both saw it in the same way, why was your response to provide an answer that could satisfy her question, while his was to retort with his smart-alecky memo to God? You know what I hope? That I can learn to be like you and learn to just plain not see what to me and Deb I guess, is as plain as the nose on my face in the posts that Kalos has intended for us. I think you have the Christian mindset that I want. But please, forgive Deb. I'm sure that she didn't mean to violate any principals or more importantly to hurt you. When she realizes she has done that, I know she is going to feel awful. It's just that Kalos Effect. I'm praying to become immune to it. And it already is having a good effect for me. Every time I feeling myself getting effected by it, I just start singing praise songs. It washes the anger right away. But I'm doing alot of singing. Love, Melanie |

Melanie Deb has not asked for forgiveness in fact she insists it is my fault for misquoting her. If you learn anything learn discernment. Here is a lady that at best was seriously misunderstood, instead of saying hey you misunderstood what I said. Or let me clarify myself I meant to say thus and such. She is standing firm that the problem is with me and Kalos. That we are bulling her and that we need to get a grip and that I should stop making Kalos my god. That is not a Christian response I don't care how she tries to justify it. Now she wants to drop it. How magnanimous of her. She gets to insult me anyway she wants then walks way telling me I have the problem. Use your discernment does her actions forward the cause of Christ, or does it reinforce the adversaries lies that all Christians are jerks. Does one so called Christian really accuse another of worshipping a third?? EdB |

Ed, I've been going back over your posts from your profile so don't get mad at anything I am going to say because they are things I know you already know. It doesn't matter if Deb has asked your forgiveness or not. You have to forgive her. For you, you have to forgive her. For your own peace, and for your own obedience to Jesus, you have to forgive her. And if you don't, it is your problem, isn't it? My discernment tells me that she does need to ask your forgiveness for making that remark, you'll note in her post to me, she asked if I was disappointed in her, so she knows I think that she was wrong. My discernment also tells me though, that right now you are my concern. Before I replied here, I prayed to our Lord with my knowledge that I know I am not a minister and that you are more knowledgable than I about Scriptures, but that you wrote this post to me and that puts it in my lap because I can see you are hurting/angry, and I believe that your pain and anger are putting a plus in the deceivers column. You know he's enjoying this. In any event, I asked God for wisdom in replying to you so that you can feel better, restore your peace, and thumb your nose at the devil. This post is my reply after that prayer. Forgive Deb. Feel remorse at the misunderstanding, feel remorse that there was a misunderstanding at all, then let it go. When you do that, whatever her actions are or are not doing, your actions are forwarding the cause of Christ and giving the proof of the lie that all Christians are jerks. Are you mad? Love in Christ, Melanie PS And yes, I have to do this everytime after just about every post I read from Kalos. "How many times do you forgive...." |

Melanie If you read my posts you have seen I already apologized for misunderstanding her. Most certainly I forgive her, I just want new Christians to understand this is not how mature Christians act. This is not acceptable behavior of a Christian nor is it acceptable behaviour on this forum. I feel I must drive this point home. It is one thing to debate, or even argue when your wrong, it is entirely different to attack the person with whom you debate. EdB |

I know. But I'm sitting here at my desk continuing my Bible studies, Ed. Yet I've just been slammed again by another good Christian. I responded, with what I hope is a Christian rebuke as the Lord intended when the Scriptures says, "When your brother offends thee...", I have prayed, for my forgiveness for offending someone I never intended to offend, and to forgive someone who did offend me, and now I am back in my Bible. I'm not going to give it the power to irritate me, which I would if I continued to insist I was in right. Even though I think I was in the right and was attacked unfairly by this person. I'm not letting it go for that person, I'm letting it go for me. Right now I am reading Micah. What is your take on chp 7, verse 5? I am thinking of starting a thread on it, but I'm not sure yet what my question would be. I just can't seem to get past it. I keep rereading, starting over at that verse. Melanie |
