Bible Note: Hello justme, Again I would encourage you to reread your first post in this thread. You might reread my response to you as well; as this response does not demonstrate an accurate reflection of my statements. Attempting to reverse the argument I made to you, and apply it back to me, serves no real purpose. Speaking of attitude, reconcilliation, mercy, grace, and Christian love carries little weight when you do not demonstrate those things. I was not (and do not make a habit) of addressing your teachings or attitude in the 1,699 posts you made before the one I responded to. I was responding only to the one in this thread. Again, read it. It was abusive and disrespectful to say the least. It was also very accusitory towards the brothers and sisters involved. I'm still not quite sure where your comments regarding the post having a focus on the issue of sex came from. You speak of attitude, mercy, grace, and those other things; your original post displayed none. To reemphasize my point in my original response to you. I was not asking you to "go home". I was trying to say: If you can not respond to a thread with the attitude of grace, mercy and Christian love, it is better not to respond at all. Therefore, "click" on the "HOME" button (top left) and choose another thread that doesn't offend you so. There was no statement, nor was there an insinuation that if you don't "agree" you should leave. If my statement was taken in that context, I appologize. It was not intended that way. You comment "I see no Scripture to back a single word you speak." Please re-read the thread. Much scritpture was offered throughout, by myself and others. Finally Justme, you write: "If I have got you or anyone else to look at the way questions are answered I gladly take the words that wound." Shouldn't this be my statement. It was me that was calling attention to your inappropriate response to the thread. You accurately comment that this is all a test of my Christian dignity as well. Have I failed as being as Christ-like as I can in my response to you. Yes I have, forgive me for that. Does my failing excuse or futher lagitimize your oringinal post in this thread? No it doesn't. Who is wrong? It would appear that we both are. Perhaps we should both take your advice to pray before putting a finger on the keyboard. I see that you have attached another post after this one. I have not read it yet but promise to. I may not respond to it though, as it appears to me that the continuation of this type of dialogue is neither productive (for the forum as a whole) nor the intended purpose of the forum. Feel free to email me if you would like, for this or any other discussion. My email address is included in my profile. If I have offended you I do appologize. You are my brother and I have confidence that this type of disagreement will not permanently divide us. Christ's Love, Jeff |
