Thank you dear sister! I really wish I could always agree with everyone, but unfortunately that is not how things are. They are as God has allowed them to be. No one ever has to be harsh with anyone else, but God has allowed such things to happen as well.
I really do not like to offend people, but sometimes that happens anyway. They may not like what I believe and of course that is their choice. Sometimes it is me who strongly disagree with someone else's belief. I then strive to bite my tongue rather offend but sometimes it is time to speak.
I, like everyone else, need the Lord's guidance on when and what to speak.
Disagreements really do not make it impossible to be brothers and sister in the Lord. People do however make it impossible. We all need to pray about that.
@Pearl I expect you've sung that hymn which says: "On Christ the solid rock I stand / All other ground is sinking sand"...
@Pearl
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus' name
On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
When darkness
When darkness veils His lovely face
I'll rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy day
My anchor holds within the veil
On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
And His oath
His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all my hope and stay
On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
Let's just revisit and visualise it
Just think about what that is gonna look like
When we hear that trunpet sound
When He shall come
When He shall come with trumpet sound
Oh, may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone
Faultless to stand before the throne
On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand

In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
This Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
Here in the love of Christ I stand.
In Christ alone! – who took on flesh,
Fullness of God in helpless babe.
This gift of love and righteousness,
Scorned by the ones He came to save:
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied –
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.
There in the ground His body lay,
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine –
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.
No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life’s first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand:
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand.
He is my light, my strength, my song;
This Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
Here in the love of Christ I stand.
In Christ alone! – who took on flesh,
Fullness of God in helpless babe.

You have a...a twin? Pearl always reminded me of my little sister! Except she doesn't appear to be half the brat you are! Lol
Ha.. I just JUST made a puzzle update on Dear Addy... YOU are 2 seconds behind my thoughts in real time.. LOL
Or.... I'm starting to rub off on you and you're beginning to THINK like me... LOL

If you only had any idea of how stubborn I am...you wouldn't say that! Lol I don't mean willfully stubborn, but it seems to me that while most are clay, I'm iron. I guess. It's like I'm made out of different material than most. I think. I've always been a square peg in a world full of round holes!
