1 | Hank where did I say all of this? | 1 Tim 3:2 | Hank | 7057 | ||
Dear Ed, if you for a moment think I was talking about (or preaching to) you, please disencumber yourself from any notion that I was suggesting, or even attempting to suggest, that you were the "villain" as you put it. You question why I told the story of the divorced minister in a discussion of divorced ministers, and submit that this seemed a reasonable place to tell it. You say that all of my comment was inflammatory and all without cause. Ed, I never said that you were pointing a finger at anyone or impugning God about anything. I'm sorry that you have taken my remarks so personally, as being meant to be accusatory of you. They were merely meant to show, and do show, how I personally feel about the matter as it applies to me, and to me alone. I neither know nor am I particularly concerned about how other people may feel. That is their business, not mine.....Again, Ed, please believe me and put your heart at ease: I did not and do not accuse you of anything. I am truly sorry that you took offense. If I had had any clue that you would take any part of this posting as an offense to yourself personally, I would have most surely inserted a disclaimer to the effect that you were not in any way intended to be the target of anything I said in it. Words, spoken or in print -- especially in print -- can very easily be taken the wrong way, that is to say, the reader sees a meaning in them that the speaker or writer did not have in mind when he spoke or penned them. That, as I'm sure you will agree to, is a rather common occurrence in our daily give-and-take relationships with other people. Those of us who post on this forum are especially vulnerable to being misunderstood by what we say and to misunderstanding what others may say. Language is a tricky business and words have a way of being disobedient to our thoughts.....I have every reason on earth to believe that you are a man who loves the Lord and are doing your very best to follow Him. I think your postings, your questions, your comments are born of pure and honest motives. Never have I thought that you were trying to cause a train wreck on the forum by anything you have said. Neither, for that matter, am I. I appreciate your candor in asking me to give an answer for what I said. It is my sincere wish that I have dealt with this matter properly and to your full satisfaction. What I have said on this post is the best I can do, and I leave it to you to decide whether it is sufficient. --Hank | ||||||

Like I said Hank your an interesting guy. There is more to you than most comprehend. I will believe what you said was meant as an apology, I will accept it as such. And in turn I offer my apology should you feel I have unjustly maligned you in any way. I think this part of this discussion should end. |
