That is true. Someone told me that I wasn't a Christian the other day on a thread. Seeing how much Christ centered stuff I do and am involved with, it made me unhappy, but I realized he was replying to the writer of the post I had posted.

I erased three different replies to him, basically quoted some scripture that made me feel better, and said, if he had a complaint, to take it up with the original writer of the post instead of me, and that I wasn't going to continue in an argument.

But it does make me see red first when people tell me I don't love the Lord. A person might not agree with my church or my theology, but to doubt the level of my commitment is one of the things that really irks me.

It gets tricky for me to keep my conscience clean at moments like that and turn the other cheek, but I am working on it.

I can understand such a pique.

It's quite possible I have some left. Though when God strips one repeatedly to the bone marrow . . . for long months and years . . . . long lists of sensitive personal stuff just falls by the wayside and gets burned up in the refiner's fire.

I suppose most of my piques at this point tend to be in behalf of good folks wrongly maligned as well as 'innocents' like children etc. attacked by brutal evil doers. People can say a lot of horrible things about me and it doesn't bother me. I suppose it might bother me some for folks to suggest I don't Love God and people.
