Hi all,

 

Since the theme of this discussion, before BeterCon took it in a different direction, is being thankful on Thanksgiving -- let me wish one and all a blessed Thanksgiving.  May everyone be blessed by our Creator -- even those who deny His existence.

 

On a second thought, although I seldom agree with Skippy on most matters -- I do agree with him that first and foremost we must thank God for our families.  They are truly a blessing from God; even when we disagree with them once in a while.  We still love them and thank God for them.  And, Skippy, I wish you and your family a blessed Thanksgiving.

 

On a final note -- BeterCon, you have chosen the PERFECT avatar for yourself -- the pugilist, the person always waiting to punch someone, even those in your own corner.   Regardless of the chosen subject matter, BeterCon, if the person -- such as Skippy or myself -- is one you have predetermined is an "enemy" -- you will start throwing rocks.   My advise for you -- lighten up.   Skippy is a Mormon, I am a Conservative Christian, and you are a Legalistic Christian.  So be it.

 

Yes, we all have different views of God, His Word, and His desires for us.   And, if you or Skippy post a writing which I feel is not Biblical -- I will call you on it.  However, I will not stoop to personal attacks.  I will attack, or I prefer to call it, refute, the false teaching.  But, let's keep our "refuting" to issues of faith, Christianity, and religion -- and put the personal attacks back into the trash can where they belong.  Just a thought.

 

Happy Thankgiving To One And All!

 

God bless, have a wonderful day in the Lord,

 

Bill

So, Bill, when you "feel" that I or someone else is wrong, you will "call [us] on it."  Your feelings, then, impel you to identify those who differ from you and to promptly issue a challenge.  H-m-m-m, some might just call that legalism, Bill. Others might refer to it as "keeping the faith" or "defending the truth." Seems to depend on your personal perspective, doesn't it? I suppose that your understanding in the matter is that when YOU "call" someone out for some belief that you find un-Biblical, then that would be a defense of the faith, but when I or someone else challenge an interpretation that you hold, then we are being "legalistic."  You do play both sides of the street, don't you, Bill?
