JW72... may you have peace... and may I say that what, because I tell you the truth I am no longer your friend? You asked questions, and I was permitted to answer EACH one... and provide substantiation from the 'scriptures' and other 'writings'... for YOUR level of faith.
So, I ask: where did I 'err' in responding to you? Please... 'enlighten' me. If you assumed to read something in my 'tone' due to punctuation, etc., please know that it is only my 'style' and certain things only represent 'emphasis', as opposed to condescension, etc.
Frank... may you, too, have peace... and indeed, may I say to you... even my Lord got 'tired'; certainly, my brothers, his disciples did. Some of them, in fact, fell asleep, contrary to his behest, the night he was arrested. Yes? Dear one, I am NO WHERE near the 'caliber' of 'stone' in my Father's temple as any of these are/were. I am neither a 'cornerstone', nor a 'foundation'. I am not even a 'pillar', but merely a stone, and perhaps even nothing more than a 'chink', really... a small piece of granite or some other 'invaluable' material... and do what I can... as I can.
I have noticed that more and more, you seem to be taking offense at my words... and indeed my posts in general. Is there some 'issue' between you and I that needs to be brought out and resolved? Is it my 'long-windedness'? If so, for that I apologize... hey, I get on my OWN 'nerves' sometimes... but I can only be 'me'. Yes? If it is something else, however, please... 'enlighten' me. As my Lord is recorded to have said:
"If you are bringing your gift to the altar and there
realize that your brother has something against you,
leave your gift there and go make peace with your
brother, then come and offer up your gift."
In the 'spirit' of that admonishment, then, Frank... the spirit of LOVE... I say to you... let's 'deal' with this, so that we can both move on... in love. Okay?
What say YOU?
I am,
YOUR servant and a slave of Christ,
SJ
