RE: [TruthTalk] Hitler and Marlin

[ShieldsFamily]

Glenn,   Love assumes the best—not the worst—of others. Of course Marlin does not think Hitler was a good guy. How can you walk in love and say such a thing?   The same goes for your repeatedly calling Marlin a “liar”. If Marlin was lying for telling a parable, then so was Jesus. It is a way of teaching. Parables and hyperbole were often used by Jesus, and He was often abused for it. He used parables for those who he knew would not receive the lesson within the parable. He only taught the deeper meaning to those who were receptive of the message. But one has to have a receptive heart to be taught anything. Those who reject the teaching (who are not walking in love) resort to name-calling, rather than to rational discussion of the issue. If we are receptive to listening to other’s ideas we may grow in the process, even if we don’t accept those ideas.   (By the way, I do not think that you are a liar Glenn. But I have a dislike of anyone calling someone else a liar, because it is usually a liar doing accusation of “liar!”  Have you ever noticed how folks who talk about how “honest” they are, are always liars? And the love to accuse others of being liars. It’s a sad truth. So I would avoid that habit if I were you.)    Izzy   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 19, 2002 9:55 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Hitler and Marlin   I take it you think Hitler was a good guy.  Your pious arrogance gives me this impression.   BUT don't play games on the OT Sabbath.  LOL  "I take it you think ...." Another typical mis-take.  Who ever said that?
