AS "POPEYE" WOULD SAY..................".I AM WHAT I AM "
ETC. ETC...................LOL!
I am not ignoring you blankstare I do not believe in doing that to anyone. You see, there is always a reason why people challenge us and I am a very curious individual, I need to know why? Maybe God wants me to try and help those people or they are supposed to help me. He put them in my path for a reason, that I know for sure and by ignoring them I have not listened to His message, His instructions for me.
Besides I always try to follow the golden rule WWJD? He would never ignore me or you. He never finds what we say or do to be ridiculous because He can see "the whole picture". He knows why we act the way we do. As humans we do not always know what circumstances lie behind the behavior that is why judging others is so unfair not to mention so cruel.
I figure if you are so intent on having a battle of the scriptures, either you are questioning them yourself or you are just probing around my thread to see how knowledgable I am about them. Or maybe you have time on your hands and you just like toying with me, who knows? but you, no judging here.
I suppose you might be quandering the differences in our bibles or who belongs to the "only church" the claim many make when defending their faith/religion, the very same claim I would rather dismiss so as to involve all of His children in my worship of Him as I am sure He would insist upon.
You see blankstare we could debate the scriptures until Jovember of 2033 and we would still be right where we are today in our discussion, what's the point of doing that? I don't have to be right or you, we just have to be kind to one another and the scriptures both your version and mine will play themselves out. That's all He asks of us, we are only human beings after all, but He already knows that, He created us. Hey! that is one thing we agree on right?
