>(342) Nowhere in Scripture do I recall an exhortation to be calloused, haughty, cold hearted, insensitive, not compassionate, not Loving etc. toward even the doomed. Certainly it is Loving to warn--even to warn sternly. But it is not Loving to stand in the place of a haughty pharisee and pronounce judgement clothed in anything but humility, contrition and brokenness. I hope you are not approaching such a position, stance and attitude.

>(346) OK. I do prefer you work at avoiding putting words in my mouth or fingers that I would be unlikely to use.

I presume you are repenting of inferring I am, "calloused, haughty, cold hearted, insensitive, not compassionate, not Loving etc. toward even the doomed," but perhaps I presume too much. I must say I have been called worse, but usually by unbelievers or those preaching another gospel.

One thing we can probably agree on is that G~d is just: 17

Are you really so sensitive that

"approaching such a position, stance and attitude."

has little functional meaning for you? I said approaching and I meant approaching. I would not like to see you go that far. But you seem very stubbornly intent on heading in that direction . . . per my sense. Of course I can be wrong. If the brothers and sisters who truly Love Jesus hereon believe me to be wrong, I'll be most happy and eager to repent of whatever they feel fitting for me to repent of.

Actually I don't really understand how you so seemingly quickly and glibly accuse me of 'encouraging people to feel comfortable and that all is well'--etc. and then in the seemingly same breaths sound so super sensitive about my talking about you appearing to lean, tending toward a direction that is of concern to me.

Brother, honestly, it appears your mirror needs adjustment or repair.
