Bible Note: Dear justme, Strange how so differently we can perceive things. For as you see condemnation, blame, and wrong judgment, I see correction, love in the truth and uplifting with the Word. I’m sorry, so truly sorry, that you feel betrayed. Our witness is so important and the words we use, even on this forum, serve us and others to that extent and in that capacity. Now from what I and others have pointed out to you, regarding what you have posted, if you can’t see the concern your words caused, and how they may have an effect on your own witness, then nothing else I say will. So with that, the best thing for us to do is to take the advice our dear brother hank posted and move on from this topic. I can’t help but feel sorrowful about this whole situation, firstly for your friends, secondly for the feeling of betrayal you apparently have come to. But my dear friend, I stand by what I said in each and every post to you. I’ll take this outcome as an indication to find a more loving and kindhearted way in which to convey my thoughts from now on. I feel at this point that, accompanied with prayer that God works His grace into both situations, is the best I can offer. justme, please see from these words I post that I never intended to guide you to the emotion you feel right now. I’m at a loss to be able to explain just how that makes me feel that you have said that. My last wish was to get to that point. I hope we can move forward from this point and display the loving relationship brothers should show to one another, to God’s glory. Stand in His grace, WOS |
