Subject: Just a thought. What's yours? |
Bible Note: George, along with Christian7, I too wonder for whom this post is intended. Surely not to Christian7; what you said doesn't apply to this fine Christian brother. ..... George, what's wrong? Can you explain why so many of your posts come across as being harsh, judgmental, arrogant and, on occasion, downright obnoxious? I don't mean to be rude to you, George, but who or what are you trying to defend? Is it Christ and His gospel or George and his opinions? We on this Forum are a community -- ostensibly a community composed of followers of Christ and honest seekers of Christ and His Good News. We are all of us inhabitants of glass houses and being all of us in that category, it does not behoove any of us to hurl stones at one another. We should strive to be tender-hearted, loving and forgiving of one another. No man is so endowed with perfection himself that he merits the license to be harsh toward and judgmental of his neighbor. While you, George, are so fond of issuing orders to others not to judge, perhaps you might do well to reflect on that same thing as it applies to the content and tone of your postings to other members of this Forum community. Please forgive me if I have been overly presumptuous. I recognize that I have been candid in this post; it is not my intention to gloss over something that should be said with candor but, I trust, without malice or rancor. --Hank |
