Please be specific. Generic apologies don't hack it.

 

[Dave L]

Please be specific. Generic apologies don't hack it.

I'm only aware of the faults you find and point out in me. So I apologize for all of these. And also thank you for helping me discover all of my shortcomings.

You show me your shortcomings first.

You are teaching salvation by works. If a person is born again, all they want to do is repent and live a holy life.

Philipppians 2 indeed says that 'it is God that worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.'

obv i do not suffer fools gladly, Dave, which is even stated in such a way as to illustrate, see.
iow i tend to look down on certain ppl, or after a certain point, and even thinking in passing of someone as a "fool" is bad practice, as i have not walked in their shoes, and this can only make communication with them all the harder. Assuming there was any communication to begin with of course

your turn

I have a tendency to look up to people that I probably shouldn't. I consider myself the worst example of loathing and others better than myself.

Agreeing with you here Dave :)

 

[bbyrd009]

so, just so you know Dave, i am not mocking you bc it is fun for me, ok. I get that you are most likely just a guileless person that would naturally be attracted to the idea of God, and so naturally your inclination would be to seek what our people call a "church." And that in your opinion you are honoring this verse, right. Iow you don't recognize that manipulating and deflecting and ignoring ppl when it suits you is not honoring the v at all; and don't get me wrong here, i do not care if you change Dave, even a little bit, what you believe right now is fine with me ok.

Thank you for your kind appraisal...

 

[farouk]

as long as I define it within biblical parameters.

Good to keep within Biblical parameters always, yes.

Are you ignoring me Dave? Your poster not showing up in the alerts and you don't talk to me anymore.
