Yeah Judy I want to put my two cents in.
What you need to do is loosen up. You are too rigid. You need to not be
so Caustic. How about a little meekness? The Sarcasm HAS GOT TO GO! And when
you have someone against the ropes, please give them some mercy & space.
the negatavism is sure to turn others off, they will never gat saved.
This is why I am here, I think we all agree I am the epitomy of these
virtues!
Please watch closely, see how genteel I am, especially with the LDS.
You know I am a big believer in building bridges with the Lost. Let's try
and find some areas of commonality between true believers and the workers of
iniquity.
In regards to my statement, "Okay, Judy, I'll
turn my other cheek."
Judy, I am amazed, too. I am amazed, almost
to the point of awe, at your
knowledge of Scripture. You have obviously
spent many thousands of hours
in the Word, such recall, always so close to
the tip of your fingers. Don't
squander your wealth. Don't use your
knowledge to lord it over people.
Patience, charity, kindness, try these
things. I did not call you my enemy,
Judy. But when I step towards you, every time
it feels like I am saying,
Here is my cheek; go ahead, smack the
hell out of it. I think when Jesus
said this, he had enemies in mind. How can I
know you are my sister,
when all you do is smack me
around?
JT: I do and have spent a lot of time in
God's Word Bill and this is what I come together with
other believers to fellowship around.
However, I am not proud about it and I don't have the whole
loaf. I need other believers and they need me
- this is how the body of Christ works. I still don't
understand why you feel so personally
affronted since it is not my heart to smack you or
anyone around. Are we both in
pursuit of truth here? On my part I could reply that you
don't
ever respond to what I write ... you just appear to come at it from another
angle to try to
further prove what you have already said
using logic and other extra biblical philosophies.
Is it possible for you to show me where
you are at by scripture without feeling threatened?

God allows the devil to raise up
heretics

Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Please
hear me out before ousting me.
jt: Why do you approach me as an enemy just because I speak what I believe
on this list Mr. Bill? Also why would you imply that I would oust
you even if I had the authority to do so? Such
assumptions....
BT : Well, Judy, maybe it's because you do not
dialogue, you speak from high above us. Ask the others. I think you
might be amazed by my assumptions.
