Bible Note: Dear John: While I may not always agree with all of your arguments (as you doubtlessly already are aware :-), I want you to know that I do appreciate and applaud the obvious care with which you constructed your response and the kind spirit in which you delivered it. It is refreshing -- and a fairly rare experience on this forum -- to feel certain that the user we're involved with has read and carefully considered your points and questions before rushing to dash off some sort of half-cocked response. I see so much of that on this forum. Yours was decidedly not of this stripe and, again, I'm grateful for it. I generally refuse to continue to dialogue with forum users who dodge questions and evade issues. But the proof of the pudding that I don't place you in this sad category is the fact that you and I have dialogued for a long time -- and rather peppery dialogue it has been on occasion :-) -- and I wouldn't be displeased at all to dialogue with you again from time to time. It is with these people who insist on their opinions being right and have such little regard for God's word that they don't bother to "rightly divide" it that my patience runs thin. We may disagree on some things, John, but I do believe we agree on more things -- and possibly more important things -- than we disagree. Blessings and grace to you, John. --Hank |
