ohhh, GRRRR!

Of course Angel-Gal has been falsely accused for Christ's sake. Happens all the time hereon to many. No presumption involved at all. Just the raw facts.

If someone's heart is right in their efforts . . .
If someone's spiritual discernment is right in their efforts . . .
If someone's sense of Scriptural truth is right in their efforts . . .

BEFORE GOD

And a respondent is critical . . . particularly out of a fleshly critical, 'bad-faith' sort of spriit, place, attitude . . .

then the first person has born attack for Christ's sake.

Rather simple, seems to me.

Alamo-Girl has stated multiple times hereon that her font makes it easy to find her own posts for reference.

I rather like it for the same reason. Fast scrolling searches save time.

DITTO BTW, for my BLUE FONT.

Of course, I greatly like blue and color in general and for a number of years have decided that I'll do more of what I like vs march to strangers' sensibilities about what they think I should do.

If I had to rank the reasons?

1. I like blue. I enjoy seeing it. Helps me with the screen 4 feet away from my eyes. 40% of the reason probably.
2. Helps me find the posts I think are more meaty or more useful or some such much more quickly for reference . . . 30%.
3. Helps the lurkers (to whom I'm MOSTLY writing) find my more useful posts easier and quicker . . . 30%.

It's sad that poor Jr psychologists wannabe's may find all such merely attention seeking. But I know that they have such little experience with me, they have no idea that just walking calmly down the street dressed normally and acting conventionally has been quite sufficient for attracting plenty of attention AND THEN SOME.

In other words, just being plain, simple, me at my most inobtrusive has virtually always attracted far more attention than I wanted.

At some point, God made it clear to me that I needed to quit bothering about the results of how HE made me. Instead, He expected me to not only roll with it but to learn to use all such for The Kingdom.

I'm still learning about that but we've come a long ways, He and I. And, assaults just add to my account . . . so assault away.

So, the Jr psychologist wannabe's can go kiss Freud's nose on the nearest statue and see if that will make their prognostications any more accurate. Nothing else seems to be working currently.

Thank you oh so very much for your testimony and for your encouragements, dear brother in Christ!

...falsely accused for Christ's sake. Happens all the time hereon to many....

So very true! Those who declare Christ boldly should expect it and rejoice when it happens. (Matthew 5:11-12) And not meet fire with fire.

See that none render evil for evil unto any [man]; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all [men]. - I Th 5:15

Indeed, if we intend to declare Christ boldly to an evil world, we must be prepared to withstand the assaults.

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places]. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. - Ephesians 6:10-20

And we need to be prepared for "friendly fire" as well - as some of our brothers and sisters in Christ may still be struggling:

And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, [even] as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able [to bear it], neither yet now are ye able.

For ye are yet carnal: for whereas [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I [am] of Apollos; are ye not carnal? Who then is Paul, and who [is] Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. – I Corinthians 3:1-7

Maranatha, Jesus!!!
