>>That love without truth is useless and often even destructive sentimentality.
And Truth without love is brutality.<<
I guess that for me, I want to handle correction from the point of view that “Blessed are the Meek”
I’m not a very good apologist, I’m not a learned scholar, but I try to see things from the perspective of the other side. I may feel I’m right, but if I want another to think I am too, I’ll spread some jelly on it.
Maybe that’s just me.
Generally speaking, I quite agree with you.
I have found the hard way, however, that there can be very important exceptions to the human myopic view of that.
When you find a reference in the NT where Jesus spread jelly on it for the religious rulers 2000 years ago, PLEASE, ping me!
The Rel Forum is so fascinating . . .
over the years . . . there are folks like the fierce RC’s.
There are folks like you . . . dear hearts working to build bridges and understanding but still with admirable strong convictions.
And there are a lot of mostly silent folks.
Occasionally I hear from a silent RC either in FREEPMAIL or on a thread . . . and I find myself pleasantly shocked that they have detected the love regardless. That’s always enormously comforting regardless of how surprising.
It’s also interesting how when I go through periods of greatly moderating the fierce kind of posting . . . how many notice and how many don’t.
People are so funny, all of us.
