It seems to me,Judy, that the enemy is winning now by getting us all to bicker instead of reason together.  I know that this is not personal, but I also know that we are so far apart that we can take no prisoners.
 It takes time to change one's thinking.  If I yell at Lance and tell him I am right and he is wrong, he will not say "Gee, I'd better change"!  More likely he will just decide that I am a jerk and ignore me.  It is also within the realm of possibility that I am wrong and he is right and if we talk to each other as if we are talking to the Lord, we are more inclined to try to reach an agreement, I would think.
It is not pride to say what God says, Judy.  The pride comes from having a superior attitude.  John considered you arrogant a short time back and more or less called you a liar when you said you did not understand what he was saying.  That is an excellent example of a superior attitude, but John is not the only one to write this way.  I have been guilty of it.  You will have to decide for yourself I guess if you are  too.

If we cannot all learn that, it would be better to just leave this list and not communicate at all.  Someone has to show not only love, but humility and concern for our Lord and each other. 
 
Then the adversary would have won by shutting everyone up. You need to understand Terry that the war is not
personal.  It is not about you or me; the war is against God's Word.
 
If the conservatives do not do it, we cannot expect the liberals to do it.  Too much pride on both sides, and that includes you and me  Terry
 
I don't consider it pride to say what God says Terry.  Nor do I consider God or His Word to be political in any way. Please pray about these judgments you are making.  Blessings, judyt
