I appreciate your generosity of spirit in accepting others as Christian brothers and sisters. I am deeply sorry you have had to face such ungenerous actions of those who claim to know the Lord. My sense is that they either do not know him the way they should or they are sadly misguided. No one was ever won to Christ by hate or by force.

I also hope you realize that when I criticize the doctrines of your church, I am not attacking you personally. I fear many here are unable to tell the difference.

“I also hope you realize that when I criticize the doctrines of your church, I am not attacking you personally. I fear many here are unable to tell the difference.”

Quite true and very well put.
