Self-restraint is not what these guys do.
17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
17:25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
We who believe that Jesus Christ took ALL offenses upon Himself have no right to be offended. Make Jesus Christ and the Cross ever the focus of your faith. Pray for forgiveness of those who slander you. God Himself needs no defending.
Just thought I would add this one from a couple of chapters down
Acts 19:2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?
May you all have a blessed 2006
