I didn't intend to convey that conclusion, because it's not my opinion of the matter. I tried hard not to assign blame to any one person. No one was entirely blameless or entirely at fault, in my always humble opinion.
It was my intention only to say what must be said. And in this case what must be said is that those who rely only on their own minds to grasp an image of reality will be limited in their pursuit by the boundaries of their mind. And many people are quite satisfied with that.
I am not. Those of us who are indwelled by the Spirit have the mind of Christ – we can indeed go “beyond” the boundaries of our own minds. It is quite wonderful, illuminating, peaceful and of course, I want to share that Good News!
Yes, but even when someone else is clearly wrong, I often find it prudent to say nothing -- especially in internet conversations that have a way of getting out of hand. But that's just my method. Opinions vary.
Concerning the angst, please understand that betty boop and I are sisters in the truest sense – we share the same mind, are on the same wavelength. For instance, it is easy for me to completely disregard offenses to my person but I cannot and will not stand idly by when anyone is attacking betty boop. Evidently, she feels the same way about me.
Your devotion to one another is well-known, and altogether admirable. All I wanted to do was lay the situation out in one post, so the events of the dialogue could speak for themselves. As I think they do.
Let's get back to epistemology. I find it more enjoyable than sorting out squabbles. We're all grownups, and this will pass.
