THANKS for your gracious exhortation and link.
However. . .
for more than 40 years . . .
folks have relatively rarely had problems UNDERSTANDING what I was trying to say.
The problems have persistently
GREATLY MORE
been a refusal to come to grips with the truth of what I’ve said.
And that’s been abundantly clear on this thread, too.
When you start posting Scripture, get back to us about the truth of what you said.
Might be because it's not seen as truth Quix.
Truth will always cause division...always. Jesus said it would be so. Therefore someone is wrong in what they're trying to deliver......Therefore to find the truth debate and scripture is necessary to determine where truth should prevail.
Division has been the history of the church....and evidences there is much which counterfeits the truth by men and woman seeking followers of "their kind" so to speak.
....the enemy of men's souls knows these days are headed toward the finish line...and as that approaches the "climate" in the Christian community is much about "rescuing " those taken in by false doctrines and teachings. Equally as much standing against those teachings so that none are lost..and that includes those who are Christian but lost inside these false teachings.....it's time to come out from among them!
I can see from this thread that people have come to terms of what the truth is....and though do indeed understand your position...they do not see it as the truth...and neither do I.
It's not a case of posters "refusal" to understand truth. It's what you're attempting to persuade is not seen as truth, and that with scriptures fully supporting their positions.
