I apologize if you feel assaulted and insulted but I don't know how you can post such bizarre stuff and then be so touchy about it. It would seem to me that you would have developed some thick skin. Besides, laughter is good medicine.

I should not have come across as if I were personally attacking you though. Forgive me for that. I will try to refrain from doing that in the future.

In reality, your worldview probably merits more in the way of prayer, than that of laughter and I will pray for you Quix.

Isa 8:11-13

11 The LORD spoke to me with his strong hand upon me, warning me not to follow the way of this people. He said:

12 "Do not call conspiracy
everything that these people call conspiracy;
do not fear what they fear,
and do not dread it.
13 The LORD Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy,
he is the one you are to fear,
he is the one you are to dread,
(from New International Version)

I accept your apology and forgive you.

Thick or thin skinned has nothing necessarily to do with calling a spade a spade.

I get WEARY of smug . . . . arrogance pretending to be loftier than thou wisdom and omnicience. I don't know that you necessarily fall in that category or not. But you certainly brushed up sufficiently against buttons which are geared against such mentalities hereon.

Strange view points are not automatically trash.

Ignorance does not automatically equal a 'more knowledgeable than thou' position to throw lofty pontifications from as though from Mt Sinai.

I have learned over the years that my massive amounts of very diverse readings and discussions face to face somehow seem to be more than the average person manages. And, I've learned to respect what The Lord has shown me through such diversities of sources.

I know I see through a glass very darkly and most of my puzzle pieces are still on vast shelves waiting to see what REALLY FALLS OFF REALLY CONFIRMED IN VIVID OBJECTIVE TANGIBLE DETAIL.

However, I also have SOME guesstimates which I have more confidence in than others.

The Scripture's a great one. I don't advocate fear but confidence in Jesus AND WALKING CLOSE TO HIM HEARING HIS VOICE.

I'm hopeful of getting back to Taiwan--probably not that long before China invades. Still, my heart is to go back. Fear is not driving me, a heart and love for loving Chinese students into The Kingdom is.
