***Given the rubber history books I’ve seen the RC edifice reps cite on such scores . . .

I’m more than exceedingly underwhelmed. Seems to me that LOTS of mangling of the historical facts is standard fare for the RC edifice.***

We mangle nothing.

***Thankfully, God knows full-well what happened when

AND MORE

what He thinks and feels about each issue***

And thankfully you are backing off your habit of telling us what God thinks. That is one huge difference here between you and us. We say that God has instructed us to do this or that. You in particular, but also many in general, instruct us as to specifically what God wants or thinks or feels.

I do not believe that the Lord God Almighty has recruited Quix as His press secretary. I have not seen sufficient proofs.

I don’t care a great deal what you believe about Quix.

Compared to a long list of other priorities in The Kingdom, Quix is neither here nor there in terms of eternal issues.

However, I do care what folks believe, think, feel about God’s priorities . . . particularly those emphatically made clear in more than a few Scriptures here and there.

Quix has been a ‘bird of rare plumage all his life.’ Doesn’t seem to be greatly changing at 61 years. I’ve seen God clearly use the way He made me for His purposes in a wide diversity of ways. That’s all HIS CREDIT and none mine.

But, I was thinking and prayerfully pondering on the way home from the Chinese New Year’s dinner . . . a few minutes ago . . . God has taken significant pains to insure that

1. Holy Spirit is available to woo and fan into flames any interest in God.

2. There are humans, ‘God-with-skin-on’ as the little boy might say . . . humans who

A) proclaim God in word and action winsomely, graciously, gently . . .

B) proclaim God starkly, fiercely, stridently, insistently . . .

C) and who proclaim God in ways at virtually all points in between that none shall have excuse for ignoring . . .

One size will never fit all at the human level.

Assuming that because one size doesn’t fit all, therefore a given presentation, personna, whatever—can’t have any redeeming social or spiritual value is a hazardous judgment—in my experience.

Beyond that . . . folks are quite welcome to avoid my posts. I’m not offended. My posts are primarily aimed at whomever they may have some eternal value for. I’d rather others ignored them. But that’s really up to them, of course! LOL.

Now, if folks are trying to tell me that my personna, style, motives, etc. are worthless or worse . . . wellll . . . I don’t think that message will get too far. I’ve too many decades seeing otherwise first hand.

= = =

Not at all, that I’m aware of.

Just not something I feel all THAT compelled to write from all that routinely. When that is my best prayerful sense, I pray I have the courage to rise to the call, request, expectation of My Lord.

It’s the Body of Christ’s business to sort out whether I’ve been right in my sense and call before God.

And, it’s God’s business how much He confirms it for whatever purpose(s), or not.
