Feel free.

Good points.

However, WHEN I find folks seriously interested in genuine dialogue of a civil sort, I’m happy to rise to the occasion.

When folks seem to be primarily interested in making

ALMIGHTY GOD out to be a liar

and seemingly addictively prone to spewing nonsense to demonized deceptive tripe, I have decreasing patience with such and feel more than a little comfortable telling it like it is, from my perspective.

And today, I have a list of other priorities as well.

Many repeat what they were taught, in a kind of faith and hope: it is true and it is the ground they are standing upon. They defend it valiantly, perhaps due to fear of change or fear of being mislead, or fear they do not have the truth. It is complex and many are more insecure than others. It is my hope and intent to not weaken a brother or cause them to become dispirited or confused.

God is in them and will open their eyes as they are ready for knowledge and growth. They will be spending time in His Word if they are seeking in trruth.

Perhaps I am being simplistic but I trust God to be Omniscient, Omnipotent, and Omnipresent, and He will enlighten all who in truth seek to know Him.

Blessed be the LORD!
