Bible Note: Dear brother Ed, I most heartily forgive you. It's easy to leap to conclusions when the things we hold dear seem threatened. I hope that you know the great esteem with which I hold you as an elder in your church and a pastor of many years experience. I have great respect for you, sir. (In the following statement, there is no inuendo.) One must not equate respect for a person with respect for their doctrines. Somehow, in our society, we have lost the ability to contend over the truth without it being taken personally. That is to our shame. I, too, will do everything I can to not "push your buttons." I am what I am, however, and that by the grace of God. I am confident that you would not wish me to abandon my principles any more than I would have you abandon yours. With regard to your future behavior, I suggest you ask questions if you need clarity. After I clarify something, then you can jump all over me. How's that? |
