Subject: Country Girl: Scripture...or Opinion? |
Bible Note: Theo-Minor, thanks for the kind words and support. I do hope you'll be able to come back to the Forum, maybe after some to re-group. I've enjoyed reading and responding to your posts. I'd like to think that Hank means well. Apparently, he's had a rough life in his relationship with God and other members of the faith. I really don't know but all of us wish him well. Hank, I've taken another look at most of the posts with your name associated with them over the past few months and it does seem you're just a little overly harsh with several well meaning people who have a different view from yours or maybe even the majority. I'd like to think that God is still interested in all of us, even those of us who have some different opinions about a few things. Along those lines, our Lord did say "to let the wheat and tares grow up together and they would be sorted out on Judgment Day." Paraphrased from Matt 13. I would like to encourage you to be a little more forgiving and open minded toward your fellow sojourner in this temporary and physical world. Blessings to you. Country Girl |
