ADDITIONAL POST PRAYER AFTERTHOUGHTS:

--Hitting and running doesn't strike me as close to CHRIST-LIKE ****DOING****.

--It appears that you have a seriously intense, deep-seated, broad conviction that you have a thoroughly exclusive intellectual grasp of and actuarial grip on what it means to be a perfect Christ-like DOING believer. . . that you have arrived at such a lofty state that should anyone else dare to express the affrontery of having even a slightly different view than you on spiritual matters and behaviors--that you are duty bound to consign them to the opposition and the pit. . . . of course without being judgmental [fingers in cheek].

--It seems beyond your grasp or grip--[whether because of a blind spot(s), pride, stubbornness or what-all Holy Spirit would have to say--hard for me to discern adequately]--It seems beyond your grasp or grip to realize that God has not yet granted any mortal on this plane such a thoroughly perfect absolute corner on being spiritually grand.

--I've seen the deceptiveness of this poison infect a lot of precious Brothers as it has me so much in the past. I'm grieved and at a loss about how to Love you any more effectively or better toward leaving such behind.

--We ALL see through a glass darkly [unless you are convinced the Apostle Paul lied in the Sacred Text].

--We ALL are flawed with 'doing what our better selves would not that we do; not doing what our better selves would that we do.'

--We ALL NEED EACH OTHER at least as iron sharpening iron.

--It is unwise and unBiblical DOING to insist that another Brother is "singing in a different choir" because he doesn't seem to agree 110% with us on all MINOR AND major points.

--There are ABUNDANT Scriptures about God's Mercy--even in the midst of or alongside of his wrath and judgement. It is not Christlike nor Biblical DOING to persistently--seemingly exclusively talk as though such is not the case in the Biblical record. Yes, for some very rebellious sorts--God has only wrath to say to them and to execute on them. You seem to lump into the receiving end of that ALL who fail to agree with YOU 110%. I find that far less than 100% CHRIST-LIKE DOING.

--I remain grieved that we have any disagreement or even a slight affront to the Christ-like caring we ought and have great reason to persistently share between us. I pray God will enable us to restore it as soon as workable.

--There is soooo much to applaud about you. I'm awed and blessed by what God has done in your lives. I cheer you on in every aspect and endeavor where Holy Spirit and Christ-likeness reigns in your minds, spirits, souls, bodies, ministries.

--Praise God that Christ Jesus--The Lord of Lords and King of Kings--knows in Whom I have believed and am persuaded that HE is able [and willing, eager] to keep that which I've committed unto Him [including all that I am or ever hope to be] . . . that HE knows my downsittings and uprisings as well as all my doings and the heart fixed tenaciously on Him out of extreme gratitude and awed Loved and appreciation for all HE HAS DONE AND DOES for me.

--I'm sure He knows you in similar fashion.
