Bible Note: Personal Note ................................... Dear Casiv, Let me begin by reminding you that I have never to my knowledge attacked you personally on this forum. In fact, I have recently tried to heal some of the rift between yourself and several other members here. I have tried to encourage everyone to be respectful in their posts to you, whether they agree with you or not. This being said, I was dissapointed by your last post. You began by saying, "I am not trying to be mean", implying that you suspected that your comments were mean-spirited. I would confirm that your suspicion was correct. EdB simply asked for clarification as to whether you believed the "mark of the beast" to be of a physical nature (on the hand or forehead), or only an ideology. A sufficient answer that gets the same point as your last post would have been, "I (Casiv) believe that the mark of the beast is purely ideological, because there is not enough room on a person's forehead to physically write it in all the languages of the world". However, this is not how you answered. Instead, you post came across as condescending, inflamatory, and went into subjects that aren't even being discussed (such as the USA's monetary system). I hope that you will reconsider your method of communication and will see that it encourages others to reply to you unfavorably. I do not excuse others for responding in an un-Christ-like manner. But at the same time, if you are a Christian, then it is wrong of you to "provoke" them. It appeared recently that your posts were becoming more thought through, but this last post was IMHO uncalled for. |
