…notice this won’t be liked by JI.
Absolutely right, Bill. And for several good reasons.
The first is that I am at no one’s beck and call … your apparent obsession with my approving your posts is not healthy. The second is that I will only thank when I am thankful and like when I like something. In general I am neither thankful for nor approving of your posts because, although in many cases .. though not all … I might sit on your side of the discussion, I find your posts lacking in humility and designed to somehow prove your superiority. The Biblical injunction to ‘speak the Truth in love’ seems to have passed you by.
I have posted many times and sometimes at length about my faith and have had mixed responses. Many times I have been roundly mocked and occasionally vilified. On the other hand there have occasionally been some respectful exchanges, genuine questions and amicable conclusions. It’s been a cause of sadness to me in recent months not only that your resentment and bitterness against me has been so publicly displayed but also that your general approach has caused me to steer clear of any discussions surrounding Christianity and faith because our approaches are so different.
I had hoped that I would not have to respond in this way to your repeated jibes … that the sense of offense you have against me would eventually die down. Sidey had it right earlier when he reflected that it did not put you in a good light to keep up this vendetta and also that he did not want to be cruel. That has been my own position but there has to come a time for you put behind you the offense you are holding, recognise that we may have the same ‘label’ but are actually poles apart so that you don’t expect something from me that I can’t give … and to forgive and move on.
Again to anyone looking on .. I didn’t want this spat so publicly displayed but have not been given much choice because it keeps being aired so publicly. What must you think of these ‘Christians?’
