"And may our Lord Bless you as well. I must accept full responsibility for starting this. Goodness, it feels so much better not to argue! I am so embarrassed about my conduct."
We reconciled admitting we agreed on probably 95% or more of what we were debating. He apologized to me after I said - for the um-teenth time that I agreed with the vast majority of his statements...
Then I apologized to him sincerely, knowing he was a brother in the Lord.
I apologize to you if I've acted in an unchristian manner. I am not trying to be contentious - I feel like God's great commission is under attack from every dimension and, while predictable, it's hard to accept.
So Brother PieterCasparzen, I hope we can reconcile and be friends / brothers.
God Bless!
Oh, I consider us reconciled, IMHO, we’re having a theological “debate”.
We’ve used nice words. I think we’re just approaching the subject from different theological perspectives. Unfortunately, most people would find it impossible to understand my position unless they first had a grasp of the theological perspective. Certain doctrinal points that are key to my overall perspective are not discussed here but they are essential to understanding the position I’m describing on this issue.
I need to get some info for you, you’ll need to really go through it, then you’ll perhaps understand the perspective on family I’m working from.
I hope to give you food for thought.
It will take me some time to get to what I need to get to.
No need to apologize brother.
As I figured two years ago, it would only be a matter of time before gay leaders would be allowed into scouting.
