I realize now that I got carried away in my zeal for the truth that I know is contained within the scripture. In the process hurt a fellow believer and for that I am truly sorry. Please forgive me for my lack of love displayed towards you in my prior responses.
1 Corinthians, chapter 13
"1": Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
"2": And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
"3": And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
"4": Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
It's easy to do, and we've all done it at one time or another. I have a fairly thick skin when it comes to things like that, so you did me no harm. My primary purpose in "taking you to task", so to speak, was to remind us all that faith works by love, and that we need to be mindful of our fellows, the same as Jesus is. I have seen too much of the "blood and thunder" approach. It's dramatic, and great theater, and it has its place, but I believe it's over-used (my personal opinion), and believe that we need to allow the Holy Spirit to lead us and guide us in our presentation.
Brother, you go on standing up for the truth, I would never ask you not to. If I'm wrong on something (and believe me, I have been), gentle persuasion and a loving concern go a lot further than bluster and swinging the sword like a broad-axe, not only for me, but many others, methinks. Truth will stand regardless, it does not need our puny efforts to bolster it or preserve it. It is a bulwark and refuge. God's Truth shall stand forever!
Oh, and you're forgiven, although there was no offence taken. Thanks!
