Bible Note: Sure EdB. I'll do the best I can to explain what I think the scriptures are saying. I'll do it on your question post so we can narrow this all down to a single line if that's okay with you? I would like to address this, though: "I must have got confused, but when someone comes into a thread saying I was unkind to another, inquisitioning me, taking my statements to places they were never intended and pressing me to explain myself. I mistake that as having an agenda." Brother, I don't want to sound in any way unkind to you, but recognize that you were on the verge of telling Stultis that he wasn't a Christian. Do you not agree that this was on the verge of going too far? Do you not also agree that it needed to be tempered a little by an outside influence? If I wanted to be a part of the conversation, do you not agree that I needed to be fully conscious of your position so I could ably discuss the topic with you? And if Stultis was not the only one to see that your statement seemed to say what he took it for, and as I also perceived at first, do you not agree that it is best that an explanation be provided in order to clarify what was otherwise becoming a nasty situation? I don't believe you disagree with me. It was all just poor communication, and we should put it behind us. If I did you wrong, forgive me please. Don't hold a grudge. I'll try to express what I think on the other thread. You needn't respond to this one unless you want to dredge up what I'm hoping we can put behind us. Xerxes |
