Post #50 is not controversy or argument. It is abuse (albeit pretty funny abuse. Personally, I’m distraught that I’ve been spelling Tiffani wrong all these years. No wonder I’m still overweight.)
In the midst of all this conversation about free will, mercy, grace, and love, the saints cannot avoid abuse?
Does that concern no one?
It concerns me, which is why I generally avoid threads where it happens.
And we're all fine, thanks for asking. I'm off to The Salvation Army for half-off day, and then I'll be picking up a filthy, malodorous boy from Webelos Adventure Camp.
I hope you're in good health and otherwise chipper, too!
Yes it's painfull.As soon as snark makes it's appearance the carnal mind starts yapping,the discussion heads south and much that could be gleaned is blown away.
However ,what I find equally or even more painfull is that a child of God,who has been freely given all that's needed,who is indwelt by the Holy Spirit,who has been set free from the law of sin and death,who is no longer ignorant of the devil and his deceits,who will inherit all things,who has simply been (on an epic scale!)'set free' forever,still thinks he has the luxury of being offended.
The RF has been drowning in victimhood lately.

Some things just have to be overlooked. “The learning of a man is known by patience and his glory is to pass over wrongs.”—Proverbs 19:11
