Your attitudes and actions truly speak for themselves Steve. Good luck to you.
I havent been involved in any way with those who are still teaching Armstrongs ideas for over 30 years now, but if I found a couple of truths have withstood the test of time, then should I throw them out, and replaced them with a belief that just doesnt stick even if I would prefer them because they are more easily accepted by others?
Recently, this thread has dealt with those who wont accept Jesus Christ as the begotten Son of God, those who condemn you for not going back under the law, and most here have been patient and understanding with them, but Doug differs in a small mater, the make up of Christ body after His resurrection, and everyone goes ballistic.
I see a pattern developing here that worries me.
RNMom, you seem to have a personal vendetta against Doug, and I remember not long ago when you were floating between Churches and were considering one that was into keeping the law, and I was concerned for you.
drstevej, you may not be aware of it, but Doug was searching for Christ when he began posting here and later he made his decision and was baptized. Hopefully after that, his idea of humor has changed since becoming a child of God, and one who will eventually be in Gods kingdom.
Most here should know I have disagreed with him many times, and on many matters, but Ive never doubted his sincerity, nor have I seen any rudeness in him.
I really believe many of the attacks have become personal, and I dont understand why. He has contributed many enjoyable post, and is an essential part of our discussions here. He deserves your respect and love if you have any real truths to share, not what youve demonstrated lately.
