Bible Note: Dear Kathy: You should know that that post was not addressed to you. Indeed, you are the last person that I would have appealed to like that because yours was the last post that expressed an appreciation for the Lord. I rejoiced to see it. I refer to your post that included: “He is the most valuable and cherished of my friends. It is hard to conceive in my mind …”, etc., and concluded with: “Don't you just Love Him???”. That was praise, and no one in his right mind would complain about it. I was inclined to respond immediately with: “O, how I love him! But I also respect. I am in awe of him, when I realize …” but I thought to give a chance to others. Review the thread yourself and see what happened after. Please be assured that my appeal was not to you. My appeal was indeed to the Lockman Foundation, supposing that they monitor this forum and even possibly allow their employees/members to participate. I have no idea who these people are, except that they publish Bibles. But it was a public appeal, meant for everyone to see. I would have hoped that unless the Foundation replied to say that the suggestion was inappropriate, that members of the forum would assume the liberty. And now, I would do anything in my power to end this discussion and get back to the original question. Nothing here deserves any more attention or mention. We need to get the focus immediately back onto the Lord. He deserves to be praised. Let us do it if we will. |
