Been up for 10 hours and getting hungry...talk later.
I'm not into fighting either, life is too short, and there is too much more important. Nothing to forgive, brother!

I want you both to know how much I appreciate you!

We are each of us pilgrims in the Way, and God has given us this opportunity to walk together a spell.

Another verse I try to hold close to me, "the wrath of man works not the righteousness of God". Getting angry at others will never ever bring about His righteousness.

Much love!
And we want to let you know how much we appreciate you brother, and I mean it.
God bless
J.

Hey Johann ~
A couple of curious questions if you do not mind.
Can you speak Zulu?
What are your county’s divisions called? States? Provinces? ?
TY

Zulu and Xhosa brother, I remember my first dictionary by Prof. Nyembesi....

As for States, Provinces, you can Google it Taken, or if you want to be enlightened, especially in the political arena, you will find everything on YouTube.

An eye opener...see "state controlled, and...expropriation of land without compensation"

Ever heard of that?

Ngiyabonga umngani wami/umhlobo wam'..which means, thank you dear friend.

Have heard of Zulu obviously, but have not heard of Xhosa. Wow the phrase and can spell it too...lol...impressed.

Expropriation of land. We have something similar, but compensation is paid, based on “their” estimate of value. I would guess the political arena can be unsettling, similar to here.

Interesting. Thank you, or...IOW.... Ngiyabonga umngani wami/umhlobo wam'

I was pretty sure about “kuKristu Yesu”, but checked with a translation for the entire phrase. :) very nice

Suppers on...talk later.

Really….?? I’ve only ever heard you say that to others…
Hi,
Most of what I have yaked @ you has been sarcastic and dry bad humour and I'm sorry. I feel no animosity towards you.

What I have said against Epi, I stand by....he spits out a false self puffed up message with a self righteous inflated superior ego.

You are better than you sell yourself to be and ya need to get out from under & do like Mary; Lazarus sister, sit @ JESUS FEET.

The only teacher you need is the Spirit as you've shown in your Spirit thread.
Yeah, yeah some areas are not for your liking but that's what the Word does....cuts.

Jesus is our way, our light & God's Spirit our TEACHER !

Aw, Good!
My manner of speaking and pausing and teaching is not acceptable to everyone and often criticized. No matter to me. It’s a manner I adopted when one of my children was born profoundly deaf and felt it my calling to make sure her deafness did not exclude her from what is so natural and easy for hearing people. I try to be expressly specific, and seems to be annoying to some. Such is life. :)


God Bless,
Taken
Be mightily blessed.

We have seen the TRUTH, THE WORD IN ACTION, in these last few post.

Love shall cover a multitude of sins.....slights, hurts, anger and even mis-conceived , mis-preceived
mis-communications.

Thank you, and you as well. Funny thing, the same daughter I was speaking about, best friend when she was elem. school; her name was Keturah!


Glory to God,
Taken

It is a rarity but it's a good solid name.
Another I met spelled hers Caturra.

This little girl was so sweet and cute. They moved away just before Jr high. Never knew another with that name....except did you know that was also the name of one of Abraham’s wives? I think , if I recall properly, he married her after Sarah passed away.

lol. I can be fairly dry and sarcastic myself, so…
I feel no animosity toward you either

You are entitled to your opinion of him. I don’t hold that same opinion. I have known epi for somewhere around…12 or 13 years. I’ve talked with him extensively, both here and on zoom. I have seen nothing of how you describe him. But I am fine with you having your own estimation of him. I know he is hated. I love him and his wife and what family of his I have met.

It is my opinion of what he claims is TRUTH !
I have zero hate toward him or anyone & am praying that he will come out of the dark into the light !

I may dislike a person's thoughts or ideations even THEIR AGENDA, but everyone has that right to their Own....

Try the spirits, if it's against the Writ of God, it ain't God's TRUTH ! Don't just accept whatever bc you " like" a person.

Peace to you.
