Gee, most people have to know me for a long time before they form opinions about me like this.Tulc is very condescending talking in the third person. He does it on purpose to assert his superiority.
When have you corrected me? I understand we disagree about certain things, but when have you corrected me?
Try not to take things so literally. I know that may be difficult due to your profession.
I'm trying to establish a bond, building on those things in which you like. The best way to relate to someone, is talk about those things in which they are passionate about.
Not an insult. Most English teachers I've come across are atheists.
Good people don't do illicit drugs, have explicit sex with multiple partners, drink vats of alcohol. I'm sorry, but they don't. Now, that doesn't mean they can't change there ways and become Good people, but sinful behavior poisons the soul.
I do address my cracks with guidance and direction from the Lord our Savor Jesus Christ.
Failure? The only time one fails is when they stop trying, and you won;t see me walking away.
I don't feel I'm talking down to anyone. If anything, I'm telling people the truth as I see it. Some people mistakenly assume that it's condescension, when in reality it's the unvarnished truth.
Vulgarians and druggies and alcoholics are troubled souls, and many of them are beyond the pale. Many of them have no hope and are aligned with the Devil's purposes.
This is your opinion. Others believe otherwise.
We're not always going to get along with each other's friends. We need to accept that.
Tulc is very condescending talking in the third person. He does it on purpose to assert his superiority.
Can you please stop talking in the third person. I find it extremely annoying and insulting: "tulc isn't really indirect..."
Tell me in your own words how you feel about me. It's okay, I can confront criticism, especially if it's constructive.
I love the fact Zongerfield, that you presume to know the activities and interests of Nathan's friends.
You find "third person" talk annoying and insulting, yet you think it's perfectly cool to dispense forgiveness on everyone? I have pity for you but it's starting to wear thin.
Forgiveness is what the Lord teaches us. I am not trying to insult people. Please think about things from my perspective.
Tact and humilty are what everyone else teaches us. You have an amazing talent for insulting people without trying. Please think about things.
That hurt. Bad.
I don't know what I've done to insult you. Telling you that you're better than deadbeat drug users, I thought was something of an encouragement.
I forgive you. And I will continue to pray for you. I hope that one day you, faith guardian, clirus, tulc, myself and charlie can all pray together. We are friends, it's the right thing to do. (emph. added)

Perhaps you'll learn something from the experience.
Then you haven't been paying attention.
Then you really haven't been paying attention.
A meaningless gesture, considering I'm not particularly sorry.
Then you're not even trying to pay attention -- I won't presume to speak for my friends, but since I can't see how having your "friendship" would enrich my life in any way, shape or form, I choose to decline your backhanded offer.
Erm. You DON'T?That hurt. Bad.

It was never backhanded. It was sincere.
What do I need to do to make amends? Tell you that I am wrong about God? That the Christian way of life is evil? I don't get what I am supposed to do to reconcile with you and others.
We can work it out. That I am sure of.

And well, I think you could benefit from someone professional guiding you through a process of betterment in this regard.
Response
To Zongerfield
I see they have gotten around to calling you crazy also.
We don't hate you.I consider it an honor and privilege when people hate me by calling me crazy.
Luke 6:22 states, "Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name, as evil, for the Son of man's sake."
Socialists and Pacificist do no like being told their concepts do more harm than good.
In my writing, I try to stick to issues and stay away from discussing individuals. I do not even discuss an issue unless there is a Bible verse that supports my position on the issues.
The only authority that a Christian has is through the Bible.
It was never backhanded. It was sincere.

Why did you refuse your friend's request to pray with him? That seems rude and unChristian.Okay. Tell you what Zongerfield, if you want we can pray together. I'd really like us to pray for you though...
Like you, I've seen miracles happen in response to prayer so if you're honestly willing to pray with me and honestly wanting Poe and myself as friends let's make that our prayer focus. What do you say?
Let Poe make that call, I feel disaffected by his continued efforts to shut me down. I feel as though he may be getting tired of my attempts to pray with him. I think if anything we need a cessation of prayers until he comes around to the idea that God loves him despite his attitude toward him and the people that believe in him.
That hurt. Bad.
I forgive you. And I will continue to pray for you. I hope that one day you, faith guardian, clirus, tulc, myself and charlie can all pray together. We are friends, it's the right thing to do.
