Hey Quix-draw, I see you are back from sabbatical (or whatever they are calling it on FR these days). I was beginning to think you were a victim of alien kidnapping or something. The forum has been a bit “quiet” without you...ok, that’s not exactly true. In any event, welcome back.
Thanks for your surprising welcome. Much appreciated.
I was not sure if I was glad or sad to see the uhhhhh
obstreperousness flaming brightly without me.
I think I was glad that folks could see I was not the only author of heat vs light. I was sad that so much of it still seemed to be, sounded like, read like mean-spirited bile and bitterness from some folks.
That I deplore.
I have no ill-will toward any RC individuals I know hereon.
I don’t even have ill-will towards the !!!!TRADITION!!!! Roman edifice.
I do have a lot of vigorous hostility regarding excesses and errors I’m convinced keep SOME of my RC brothers and sisters either at unncessary arm’s length from God or at risk for God being rather upset with them over serious issues like idolatry, blasphemy, arrogance and the like.
Certainly all individuals are vulnerable to such human faililngs. It just has increasingly appeared and felt like the RC edifice overtly (& knowingly though fiercely denied) aids and abets such much more so than most other denominational magistericals.
I would love to see it otherwise. I’d more love for it to be otherwise. I have to deal with what I observe to be and what appears to be reality. I owe that to my Lord and to RC’s whom I care about.
However, I’m certainly an equal opportunity . . . exhorter! LOL. I receive all the even personal assaults and prayerfully consider them.
May you and your loved ones have a blessed June full of The Lord’s Provision, Peace, wholeness, intimacy.
BTW, I think the ET’s know I’m off limits by virtue of the Blood fo Jesus.
