Simon, I point at no one or two people for the starting of the thread, in reality, My own actions were greater motivation than anyone else.

Still the display between Tu and myself clearly falls into this...
I know that and have no problem with people tugging my shirt sleeve and saying, "check it out simon salt and light" buddy... Know what i'm saying? I'm saying I need a little help in the calling people out arena ( I do it often) and it wouldn't hurt me to hear the chillax bit when another might see me going there, I know you tried and I apologise for not responding.

Here's the thing...UB and Simon, I've learned an awful lot about things going on in the history of the church from you guys..But to be honest you guys have been cocky about it..I am glad you all allowing the Holy Spirit to refine you....May you recieve all that God has for you...For it's when we walk in the attitude of a servant that we open ourselves to be used of the Lord...nab

Uphill Battle · Jan 14, 2009

thank you Simon. No apology required.

cocky doen't begin to describe me. They revoked my Humility award, because I hung it on the wall.

Don't forget to tell me if you see me doing it again, I know it will. I know me.

Seriously THANK you NAB, your honesty is refreshing.
Thanks for the prayer as well.
Trying hard to set aside my pride, it may just require walking away from here...Need to pray on it.

Uphill Battle · Jan 14, 2009

something else for us to consider....

23"Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.

let's not only change, but repair the bridges we've burned as well.

namericanboy · Jan 14, 2009

Thanks VU for working as a peacemaker in threads....I know your are seeking with all your heart. May the Lord move powerfully in your life in this new year...Mey the Holy Spirit speak to you in the night watches...May the fire of God burn in your heart and may the word of the Lord be found on your lips....peace to you..nab

BRB need to go extend an invitation...

Uphill Battle · Jan 14, 2009

indeed, Nab. Let's recognize the peacemaker among us, the one who was trying before anyone else.

Uphill Battle · Jan 14, 2009

heading home, I'll be on later. Ciao.

To answer Simon and everybody including me,

When you feel like posting in anger, pray. For yes, there is an anger that comes from God. I'm not of the view of "Happy-Daddy-Goddy-up-in-the-sky". But there is also an anger that comes from the guy with the big fork and red pajamas.

Viribus Unitis · Jan 14, 2009

Thanks all, just when "Forky" (aka devil) thought he was winning. Nah guy, how does it feel to be a 2000+ years loser?

I am frustrated that my words come across as though I sound angry, truth is I am not an angry person just very direct so it is hard for me to use my emotions as a guide to know when to stop pray and or walk away.

I have invited TU over here to extend an olive branch, we have apparent theological differences and when it doesn't get personal he is fun to debate so what I am saying is I apologise if you took my words personally.
And will try and be less direct in the future.

Standing Up · Jan 14, 2009

One could always shake off the dust from one's feet and leave to speak elsewhere. There are some major differences after all between parties, yet still, speak the truth in love.

Has anyone ceded a point to the "other side", ever? If so, you have to go back and rethink your conclusions therefrom. If not, there's always sentence one.

I read the entire thread, (Plus the one where you two were
grouching at each other) and it really was just a couple of
guys having words. You both are loved, and you're both
loveable!
