This is particularly funny because I believe it was I who came up with “drive by bigotry”

______________________________

But this would be a very slim percentage. Most of us hang around to do battle man-to-man; High Noon style.

Actually, there are a dozen or so of you who's life mission is to denigrate and belittle our faith in Christ, but the rest are the occasional drive by.

And, as far as doing battle man to man, high noon style, that is precisely while you will see me less and less here, that and the fact that my life is very busy. The spirit of contention does none of us any good, I have played my part in it in the past, and I'm trying to cut back. It brings animosity, pride, pitting our own wisdom against the things of God, tearing each other down, thinking perhaps by tearing one another down, we can improve out position or make ourselves or our own interpretations more valid, etc. No one benefits from such battles, least of all the spirit of the Lord. I am trying to repent of such things. Yes, you can call that "works" All the best.

From what I've seen, they belittle your faith in your Prophets® and the things they've proclaimed over the years.

You guys have been COMMENDED for your 'faith in Christ' and have wondered why you've clung all this other added stuff.
