Bible Note: Please believe me! I already realize you're probably getting tired of seeing this kind of message and you may be getting tired of seeing responses from me. But I've seen most of your posts and have noticed you do have a rather zealous way about you. This Forum is used by folks with a wide spectrum of education, maturity (both spiritual and physical), and personalities. You have received at least a half dozen warnings and counsels from several reasonably well balanced people of this Forum. So I find myself joining in this resounding chorus. No matter what you may think, "a rose by any other name is still a rose" my friend. And your constant overuse of ALL CAPS in your Forum posts and statements is very definitely shouting. You've already noticed that practically all of us do use an occassional word in all caps to emphasize a point. But this should be use lightly like salt and pepper on food. When it's overdone like as in your posts, the end result is repulsive and is rejected without much adieu. So I would consel you my friend, if you really are serious about trying to win numerous people over to your way of thinking and your opinions, I would refer you to the words of Paul. 1 Cor 9:19 For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; 20and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law; 21to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law; 22to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. 23Now this I do for the gospel's sake, that I may be partaker of it with you. I do hope you'll take this advice in the same spirit with which it is given...in love. (Not mine, I'm just trying to imitate God's love.) Me? I'm more inclined to dismiss you altogether but my God forgave me and I used to be just like you in my younger days. God bless. Rowdy |
