Eg, it is fine for you to share your views. I like to hear your views. I did not get upset with you for any of your views or opinions. It was you who got upset with me.

I didn't think you were trying to attack me. It was you who felt attacked and yelled at and slapped.

then why do you respond the way you do, by trying to tell me what others think? And how I need to do this or that?

I know what they think, I knew what you think,

I try to tell you what others think because...not all men are where you are and as I said, they are not as certain as you are on the matter. They understand that works are useless but they do not equate continued believing with works. This is where some men are. This is just where they are with their Lord. And I think it is sometimes hard for you to let them be where they are just as it is hard for other men to leave you where you are with Him.

I maybe made a mistake because I didn't specifically say I understood your post. I do in fact understand it, and in just the last few weeks, I have come to think more as you do. It was almost like a second birth for me.

And I maybe made a second mistake, because I am looking back over the entire scope of the thread when I gave my opinion and that couldn't have been clear because I didn't make it clear.

its ok, it ma be me, I am not a good speaker, I usually just speak in detail, and stick to the point, unlike people like Cee and Bill who can speak the way they do with much more charisma.

i just to not want you or others to think I am attacking you when I am not

I did not, absolutely not, feel attacked by you brother.
And your charisma is just fine. :)

And as I said, I think I made some mistakes.
 
What a loving respectful way that Stunnedbygrace and eternally-gratefull worked out things. That is an example of the life of Christ manifesting in their lives. We encourage this type of behavior amongst us.

We can still respectfully agree to dis-agree on some areas and yet remain respectful and give true unfeigned honor to Christ that is in us.

This provides a safe environment in which to discuss things. God is good and is faithful to all of us!

There are those wonderful goosebumps again...! :)
 
The Truth is not compromised and if it makes you an enemy remember not to despise those that despise you.

Be prepared to stand being stoned and lay it not against those who are deceived and stone you.

Have Love and Mercy like we are shown.

Faith without works is dead.

works perfect Faith.. what works? The Lord instructs through His New Testament.

Law of Faith contains much work given by the Son of GOD and So if we love Him we Keep His Testimony.

A willing heart need apply.

Some move so fast you can't keep up, then you miss something important, and say something stupid..lol

edit, then your IPAD adds words, changes words, or does other things that when you reread, you can't even figure out what you wanted to say to begin with!

not really Cee

she makes things up about me and posts about me to others and you say nothing about that.

you are as much of a bully here as the others who joined in. I thought better of you but I guess you had to show your prejudice

nothing you wrote you cannot apply to yourself first BECAUSE you actually thought you had to mix in

you are simply a part of the other side of this debate

you certainly have not written the truth, but simply stood up for your friend who has lied about me and tried to get me banned by saying I was a banned person

you are taking sides in a personal matter. now go and send some pm's and make it better

ok...I challenge you now to please show the post. Or posts.

Make it another thread so this one doesn't get sidetracked. Like miscellaneous.
