Subject: Why can we not just be Christians? |
Bible Note: If it is not in scripture, my friend, it is secondary. Necessary as one may consider it, edifying as some may think it, it is secondary. I, dear sir, understand perfectly well, the implications of my words. It is funny how I felt the same concerning yours, but I chose to mention it a little less abruptly. How one who reads my words, or chooses to take what he/she considers the implications thereof, is totally up to that one. It is apparent that you simply do not understand my words, and choose to take offence at what you do not understand. I am sorry, for I have spoken kindly and respectfully to you as well, sir. That you should consider my words otherwise, saddening as it may be, it is of little consequence, for I am sure we will both get along very well without the other. This is a prime example of my topic. I choose to forget it, and go on as though this, and our previous postings have never occurred. Though I am not sure why we end up as we so, I will take the experience gleaned from them to heart. May He multiply His blessings on you and yours, dear brother. |
