No apologies necessary Meerkat.....I can't think of one single time you have ever said anything offensive to me or anyone else for that matter. God bless you for your humbleness.
I would like to apologise to anybody whom I have offended -- it is not my intent to offend - if I come across as critical please forgive me
I love and respect you all on this forum -- all believe and strive for what they perceive as the truth and that striving sets the scene for misunderstandings
It is hard to not show the seriousness of a matter without stressing the point which may come across as offensive, and then there is a point where the gospel will offend irregardless what you say to the religious pride of the world and to the sinners that do not see their sins as needing to be delivered from them. Loving others does not mean soft peddling the truth.
But we do get embroiled sometimes as I have been in times past and I am trusting Jesus to forgive me and to help me to be a better witness as I know full well that He is the One ministering and therefore the yoke is easy and the burden is light in serving Him as a witness of Jesus Christ.

Agreed!
Meerkat2,
The only time when comments offend me, is when they attack me personally. It is one thing to debate doctrines, and scriptures. It is biblical and Berean.
It is another to attack the seeker. I have seen it done, but not by you.
No offense at all, and even if by chance there was, you are forgiven. If there was by myself, forgive me. You have a beautiful heart, and it is on fire for the Lord.

You cannot offend anyone by the things you post (you are too sweet)...it is the person who is offended which allows that to happen to themselves and perhaps they should examine, within themselves, why they become offended in the first place...just saying.
