Bible Note: Hi Z. I refer to the extract below from your post of 12.18 pm on 10/20/06. There is no doubt in my mind that Mark is in Christ Jesus, my Lord, but there is doubt that he is of God in Christ. According to the doctrine of Christ, we need to be in both the Father and the Son (2Jn. 1:9). Once more, we see the danger of quoting Scripture verses out of context, verse 9 has to be read within the context of vs 7 through 11. which clearly indicate that the person refered to in v 9 is a deceiver and the antichrist. I do not believe that you deliberately intended to describe Mark in this way.. I would therefore ask that you be more carefull in future. Although you say " I an sorry for any offense",,, and "Please forgive my rudeness", this in only addressed to the four of us, and not to Mark as it should be, and now more so in light of what you have said above. ebrain. |
