Terry the arbitrator. Terry the mediator. I like
it! The points you make are somewhat similar to those made by David Miller in
his recent post.

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.

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
