I took some time off to self examine and put right perspective on what is actually " being said" by myself and others, that rubs us all wrong.

I apologize to all, for in my statements, (since I've been a member here) I found myself guilty of my own arrogance, not in what I stated but rather the way I've stated it. I am sorry for the abrasive bluntness of my personality type. Unfortunately for others my world is blk / white; ( no grey) wrong or right.
I believe we should be thankful to know the truth of the word, but not in a boastful way, rather one should serve in humbleness to the edifying of others and to the glory of God.
The word says this......
Romans 12:3 - For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
Proverbs 8:13 - The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
Galatians 6:7-8 - Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Proverbs 29:23 - A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
Philippians 2:3 - Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
James 4:6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
This in no way is a condemnation on others, yet I confess, I have in the past condemned those in whom their arrogance ruffled me.
If indeed we are approaching the final stretch for grace, then let us examine OURSELVES, rather than examine each other.
I am sorry to have used the word to jab at other's perceived supposed flaws. I am a most imperfect human !
Remember you don't have to be honest with me but only yourself. God already knows ALL OUR FAULTS !
In Christ and his love,
L. A. M. B
