DEAR DEAR HEART BOATBUMS,
I want to emphasize . . .
my forceful words about the issues are not at all directed at you personally, your personhood, your heart, your spirituality etc, per se.
My forcefulness is directed at SOME of the ideas which you assert, which I’ve contended with, most of my adult life.
I continue to hold you in extremely high regard and great fondness in my heart, mind and spirit.
As you know, I’m . . . how to put it . . . not often given to super gentle graciousness about ideas I believe to be UNBIBLICAL about important-to-me issues of our walk in The Lord, in His Spirit etc.
That should not be interpreted to EQUAL a lack of respect or caring toward those who hold what I consider erroneous, UNBIBLICAL perspectives.
Goodness, I even respect and care for virtually all the RC’s who attack me personally and assaultively. And you are far better in dialogue than that pattern. I care about all of them but I don’t respect all of them.
I deeply respect you, care for you and admire you.
I just disagree somewhat forcefully about some aspects of your perspective on this issue.
Well thank you for that. This can be an area where we agree to disagree, then.
