Thank you. That is all I ask. I just find it sad when scripture is argued with and twisted. Only the devil tries to get us do that. And since we are all prone to being deceived by the devil, then it is paramount that we do not try to change the bible to fit our interpretations. We nee to change our interpretations to fit the bible. And that takes humility, honesty, and a desire for the truth above all costs.

So if all of us desire the truth above all else, then we can just believe scripture instead of personally attacking each other.

If, for example, I believed that all will be saved, then if someone points out Christ's words that say we all won't be, I will say; "oh, I guess it's not true." Thank you for pointing that out to me." I have done that in the past and will continue to do that in the furture if my beliefs contradict any part of scripture.

It would be nicer if you do it indivisually.

It would be nicer if you do it indivisually.

It would be nicer if you would just honor Thess's intent and motive and then leave it alone. :-?

Thessalonian, thank you and your apology is graciously accepted. I too extend my apologies to you for sharp or harsh words to you either here or in PM.

In Christ

This thread probably should be used in conjunction with Imagican's "a thread in which to argue" in General Talk. We can argue there and then come back in here and apologize. :wink:

It is sad that a Christian brother has to "apologise" for someone else to come and say "I forgive you". Shouldnt the forgiveness precede the apology?

If any has offended me on this forums they dont owe an apology to me because they are already forgiven. When I pray "Father forgive me my transgressions while I forgive those who have transgressed agains me" I really take it to my heart.

The best response which I haven't seen yet to Thess's post is "Oh, you have already been forgiven".

And it was nice to see the humility shine through you Thess, I commend you for it.

I wasn't planning on coming back here for a long time if at all. After reading this, I felt the need to once more. To you, Thess, and for the sharp replay to your PM a coupld of weeks back, I offer apologies...I was extremely hurt over the loss and rejection of a loved one at that time, and was in deep despair and lonliness from which I have yet to recover. Hence, those feelings, coupled with the PM remark prompted saying what I did. Nevertheless, what I said there and in other forums here to you and others, will not be indicated again. Satan is having a field day on this board and I just can't bear up under it anymore in addition to what's happened in my personal life as well. No more remarks or sharp rebukes from me again. I sincerely hope, from the heart, that someday ALL of us will see each other and walk down streets of gold together and perhaps laugh at all the crazy things that went on here and with ourselves.

As far as I'm concerned, no apology needed....if you feel frustrated with someone....(for instance, me).....take a second before you post....

Sometimes in frustration I shoot from the hip......instead of taking a pause to reflect...

I'm not offended by infrequent off the cuff shots.....there is only a problem if it is a continual practice...and I haven't seen that in your posts....

Sorry for you loss D46. Apology accepted and my sincere apologies and prayers for you.

A 'different Thess'? Things just won't seem the 'same'. (he he he), just joking.

Takes all kinds Thess. Obviously the Mods are quite accepting on this forum and that's a 'good' thing for those that post on it. Under the circumstances, I think that you mostly respond admirably when one considers how often you are forced to defend your views and understanding from a 'singular' standpoint.

No, apologies needed as far as I'm concerned. We, here on the forums, don't really even 'know' each other. Not surprising that things are often taken personally when they really shouldn't be.

But, if you feel that your behavior has been harsh at times or unduly hostile, you need NO forgiveness from me. You were forgiven seconds after any offense was ever taken by myself.

But, 'go, and sin no more', (he he he, again).

No, really, keep up the good work my friend. Even though our understanding differs by 'light years' at times, your understanding is yours and you defend it well. Be true to thy self and much guilt will be avoided.

I know, I know. It's 'all about God instead of self'. But, without an understanding, it would be VERY difficult to follow God to any degree that matters. And to maintain our Christian 'character', one need be true to thy self as well as Christ and the Father.

Lets move on now, more God talk. :D

Bless you Thess.

Even though I don't believe I have personally felt any attacks from you - more just general discussions on Christian issues; I think it's a bold step to take in the Spirit to act graceously in the face of adversity.

To apologise when feeling attacked yourself is fruit of the Spirit indeed.

Well done. I just wanted to acknowledge your humility.

Apology accepted. Let us both try and be kinder and full of patience in the future.
