“This is where there’s just an overwhelming disconnect between what some FREEPERs allege vs. the gaping gaps we see.”
For Goodness’ sake, I wish you would stop judging other people’s hearts. That is way above your pay grade. Jesus Christ is the Judge, not you. Any “gaping gaps” I may have are not yours to know. Only God knows my heart. You see “gaping gaps” in others. Good for you but I think you need to check out the Bible about judging.
Bashing people over the head with your judgments is not very becoming.
Jesus Christ is Lord. He suffered and died for Mormons, too.
Saundra are you judging me over my public discernment being exercised?
If your standard isn't for others to judge another publicly, then why are you violating that standard by judging me?
Shouldn't you be adhering to your personal standard of not judging another publicly?
Shouldn't you then repent? Shouldn't you apologize to me for violating this standard of yours?
Shouldn't you behave according to what you preach? Or do you get some of kind of self-exemption here?
Bashing people over the head with your judgments is not very becoming.
Well, Saundra, in this ONE post -- that you posted three times in a row -- you've...
#1... accused me of inwardly judging others...vs. discerning the public gaps I see...(Btw, I don't judge people's internal motivations)...
#2 ...accused me of trying to usurp Jesus as Judge...
That, Saundra, is a double-accusatory bash of me...from somebody who preaches, "Thou shalt not bash."
Which is it, Saundra...Don't bash? Or, bash perceived bashers?
Saundra, you can't have it both ways. If your personal standard isn't to say something negative about others, than why in this post did you say something negative about me?
Which are we to believe? Your preaching message, or your example here of bashing???
Saundra, you have refuted yourself.
Accusers of "judging" can't turn around and openly judge; accusers of "bashing" can't turn around and openly bash. (It's not very becoming, let alone consistent...and smacks of open religious hypocrisy)
Furthermore, Saundra, you took a comment I made to a NON Mormon that at best could be implied to include her as a NON Mormon in post #18...but which had no other obvious "landing pts"...
-- which is what you responded to above --
-- and somehow twisted it to be about you and your heart!
Saundra, I wasn't talking about YOU in post #18! (you haven't even been around this thread til now!!!)
Nor was I even talking about Mormons in post #18!
And anybody reading my entire exchange with Hound of the Baskervilles would know that!
Shame on you Saundra, for such open distortion! Question: Are you so into "I'm a Mormon victim" that you have to find offense where none is even given???
Do Mormons ever openly apologize for relational errors like the one you just committed? Are you just going to let it fester before the divine eyes that see it?
