Lebell,
you assume much. To the negative, it would seem.
Here, then. Look into my heart if you can, and tell me what you see.
Is it as dark and gruesome as you seem to think?
I tell you it is darker.
But the love of Meschiach has overcome all that.
I don't have any idea what it is you believe because there seems to be no foundation for it beyond what appeals to you.
Is that so?
That is not a judgement, mind you, that is a question.
An honest one.
I do not understand your viewpoint.
To quote Matthew 5:28 at me seems more an accusation than anything else. Are you implying I am here to look at your naked pictures? I tell you, I am not. But in the same context, then, why are you here?
Are only persons who mirror your viewpoint welcome here, or is it that you tolerate people of opposing views for a time and then bit by bit wear them down until they just go away?
Are not your opinions every bit as intolerant toward my point of view as you claim mine is toward yours? Yet you phrase yours in a way that seems more pleasing to the ears and that makes it gentler? But still you have made it clear that you are not above jabbing me in the ribs with a scriptural quote and thus implying that I don't belong here because a REAL Bible thumper wouldn't be here unless he had an ulterior motive and that motive would probably be to look at the naked pictures and lust after the women.
I am not a real Bible Thumper. I am a servant of Meschiach.
I am a follower of the Truth and I do not claim to be any more than that.
Show yourself, then. Plainly. Speak plainly and don't hide behind platitudes. Call a spade a spade and be done with it.
Let us not mince words with relative truths, because I learned long ago that when someone wants what they want, or something bothers them enough, all the relative niceties vanish and the real agendas and such come out plain as day.
Do it, then.
Am I welcome here in this tfp?
If not, specifically, why not?
If so, then let's get on with it, and let me be me and you be you and we can accept each other as we are and we will learn our common language and over time learn how to speak to one another. I won't tell you how to talk and you will allow me the latitude to learn your language as well.
What shall it be then?
Specifically?
