I have been reminded of why I never tread on "religion" threads, and have tried to whenever possible, avoid arguments with fellow believers (and assume all three of you are, though I don't know your hearts, and you don't know mine).
Because of my belief in this verse from Romans, and my conviction that I have not behaved as Christ would have me behave in getting involved in this spitting contest, and because the only result of being 'tripled teamed' here would be hurt and unChristlike anger on my part, I ask all of you to forgive me, and will exit this conversation with you.
May the peace of Christ dwell with you richly as you seek to serve HIM, and as you struggle to find the best way to do that, here on FR, and in your 'real' lives.
In as much as it is up to me, I will try to live in peace with you. Please hold me to account if I fail to do that.
Thanks.
If it eases your Spirit I will forgive you, however, in my opinion, you have done nothing to ask forgiveness for.
Out of the abundance of the heart; the mouth speaks.
And, I might add: The fingers type.
We can ALL read your words.
Hiding behind is more like it.
You need to read a 'verse' about contending for the faith.
MORMONism has drug CHRISTIANITY thru the mud, and I,for one, sure as hell ain't gonna take it any more!
(I hope 'hell' does offend your sensitivites!)
Ok; but first; can I wipe my chin??
...in this spitting contest...
