Bible Note: Mommapbs: So, I discerned correctly. You do have a problem with Rabbi Mark. And the problem stems from an inference that you feel that he made toward you with another Forum member. I haven't seen that you have this problem with any other members of the Forum. And you certainly haven't answered me in an unreasonable manner. I'm taking a long shot here, so please forgive me if I am wrong. But I'm just going by my male logic. Is part of the problem you have with Rabbi Mark is his being Jewish? I'm not accusing you of racism. I just want to know if this is a factor in the equation. After all the Jews did crucify Christ! Whether his Jewishness is a factor or not, I am impressed to hear that you do fear God. And that you have a great love for God. Because of this I would like to share with you the following scripture, "Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;" Don't let your intimacy with God be spoiled by a root of bitterness over some implied accusation. Try to work it out with Rabbi Mark. I think its better to have him as a member of the team rather than cast him out because he implied something. Are you sure he meant to imply this? Sebkin |
