Bible Note: Dear Tim, I was quite sure that you didn't intend to open up this old can of worms any more than I and truly did not intend to leave you with any suggestion of the sort. Your answer was an excellent one and presented both views succinctly and accurately, and in the most unbiased manner possible. From where I sit, your posts are a fitting model for fairness, accuracy and gentle treatment of even the hottest and most controversial issues that come before this forum. It would serve us all well to review your posts from time to time, when those of us, especially I, who tend on occasion to become frustrated and allow harshness and abrasiveness to replace the spirit of Christian love and compassion. It's long been a source of joy to me to have you on the forum and I always relish the opportunity to share ideas with you. Yours in Christ Jesus. --Hank |
