Subject: Kathy, Is "Lifting His name" Biblical? |
Bible Note: Searcher, This post my seem harsh to you, but I must be frank and candid at this time. You give me few other choices. Your knowledge of the Bible is commendable on an academic level, but it is those who post with wisdom and Christian attributes that I respect most. So I'll pass; you go and question the Rabbi and garner more information on the letter of the word. I am sure that my Pastor is well versed in Jewish traditions and beliefs, if I have a need to know about Good Thursday. You have a lot of brash audacity where I am concerned. You label me anti-christ, you tell me that you are attempting to correct my thinking, and now you give me directives. Well my Dad is Paul Dunn. He has never used the name Searcher. You fail miserably at trying to prove to the Brothers and Sisters that I am on the wrong side of the cross, give it up cause you can never win. I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me, and that includes tolerating your consistent put downs. You only do it because you are established on this forum by your longevity. You take great pride in perceiving yourself to be right in all things Biblical. I take pride in Christ and His abilty to save. Because you have a long history with this forum you have a following of those that will back you even when you are openly vicious, but not everyone is cowardly enough to call that which is wrong, right. About 6 or 7 post ago, I asked you with much love and patience for us to disagree agreeably and let peace be the acceptable truth of the day. I asked you to let there be peace between us. But you have persisted, all day. This shows me a lot about your character. Once I almost left this forum, just to avoid your incessant snubbings. You accuse me of being unhappy with your responses, it seems to me that you are the one who is unhappy with me, because I do not amen to everything that you post. And I am bold enough to post what I truly believe and you can not compell me to do otherwise. What scripture do you believe I should study? Is there going to be another deiviously mean spirited quiz? You ask me,"Kathy, What about Good Thursday?" As you are well aware most of us here are Christians, since we are not Jews we acknowledge Good Friday. Besides that you never acknowledged that my answer even though not the one you sought, was still indeed correct. Your question had nothing to do whatsoever with anything in the thread. Are you testing my knowledge? Are you hoping to beat me down before the brethren? You are not making me look bad at all. You are exposing something about yourself, with this constant thing you have with my posting here. Why do you harass me so much? Why do you always insinuate that I do not study scripture. Is it because there are I times when I reference commentary, articles and other resources such as translations. You know no truth about me and you desire not to, you are trying to prove your own unfounded assumptions. More often than not I reference the word of God. You may not like what I believe to be true and you may really believe me to be an anti-christ. I have put out the olive branch several times to you, and I have asked you more than a few times to let God's peace abide between us. Yet no matter what tactic you use I have the fortitude and courage to remain, until they kick me out. I hope whatever it is that you are looking for, be made clear. God is able to make you see what you refuse to see. Even I wish you no ill will and I know that God will bring all of this together for a good purpose on both our behalfs, because he loves us. Even a wretched sinner like me. -Kathy NOTE: Let me apologize to this forum for posting such a firm and candidly analytical response. Please have the benevolence and forbearance, to forgive me, I appeal to you sincerely. |
