To: Quix; All
Many repeat what they were taught, in a kind of faith and hope: it is true and it is the ground they are standing upon. They defend it valiantly, perhaps due to fear of change or fear of being mislead, or fear they do not have the truth. It is complex and many are more insecure than others. It is my hope and intent to not weaken a brother or cause them to become dispirited or confused.

God is in them and will open their eyes as they are ready for knowledge and growth. They will be spending time in His Word if they are seeking in trruth.

Perhaps I am being simplistic but I trust God to be Omniscient, Omnipotent, and Omnipresent, and He will enlighten all who in truth seek to know Him.

Blessed be the LORD!

Is this discussion done in/with love for each other held in mind and answers created in such a way as to be kind and show loving intentions?

Speaking The Truth is love. As you see many come vehemently against it. Nothing new under the sun. Truth doesn't bow to evil nor will It be suppressed by it. PC is the opposite of Truth.

Thanks for your Biblical, wise and accurate words yet again.

However, Christ did at times call folks

—white washed tombs;
—vipers;
—sons of satan.

When I encounter similar attitudes as plagued Him, I’m willing to call a spade a spade.

Yeah, there’s plenty room for sobering error and we will certainly be judged according to the criteria we use.

Nevertheless, a lot of these obnoxious sorts have been throwing irrational and VERY UNBIBLICAL rocks my direction for a LOT of years. The evidence they have listed hereon is extensive in terms of the absurdities, destructiveness etc.

I think your point about insecurities is very apt. However, these characters are also very very VERY STRONG personalities regardless of their fragilities in various areas.

If they can so brazenly and so relentlessly throw out their garbage making ALMIGHTY GOD out to be a liar about HIS EVERLASTING PROMISES TO ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB

then they can jolly well learn to handle the responses such outrages engender.

imho.

Might be simplistic, but still truthful.
