I wish to appologize for using the term: "hate groups" in my last thread. It was not a nice term, and it would have been much kinder for me to say "the misled", because that is what I really believe they are.

I mean well in my efforts to bring forth the word of God, but I guess I am not too tactful about it.
I pray that God will raise up someone who is better with words than I, to continue my efforts.

I am okay with the locking of the thread, and wish the other one that I recently started would be locked, or...better yet, deleted. I requested for it to be deleted, but nothing has happened.....

Towhee,
now where is that hug emot {hug}
I would like to apologise to you as well ......... we all have things to learn including how to word things so that we get our message across in love.
Humans are very good at reading between the lines and making assumptions as to what we think someone else is saying and then over react.
It seems to me that as well as trying to tell everyone what the word of God says,, we all need to be open to what the Spirit of God would like to teach us.
We are told by Jesus to remove the beam from our own eye first, then remove the mote from our brothers eye.
You (and actually most of all of us) can sometimes come across as if [b]you/we]/b] have all of the truth and everyone who does not believe as you/we must be misled.
We all do this because it is a human trait - anyone who is deceived or misled will not know that and unless they search for the truth without holding on to what is not true, they will continue to be misled.
Christianity is like the water well. For some people, it's just the water that bothers them. That's how far they want to see. I'm personally interested in how it was dug and even the mosses flagellating at its water bed. And I'll be willing to hold my breath and even die if that is what gets me to achieve my aim in my spiritual journey.
Even drinking from it, Christians of today might wanna heat it or use an advanced water filter.
I'm of the breed which prefers to drink it raw, with the faith that the bacteria in it, should it cut into my metabolic balance, the God-given white corpuscles are immune enough to fend it off.
And I like the well, just the way it is, without any attempt at tampering with its replenishment or how water is harnessed out of it.
Everything around the well decays, the trees, the plants, the people, the insects and even the water, when it's drought. But that's when God fills it back with rains from the skies.
The well is still a well. However you drink that water is no concern of mine. I have my own way. And while you guys are at it, don't start adding your purifiers to this water of human faith.
This well is not supposed to evolve like computer memory, iPODs or vehicles. It's supposed to transcend through time. It's supposed to be the benchmark and lynch pin for the agriculture and irrigation which will continually thrive around it. And it's never meant to be the other way round.
Oh, Towhee, we all stumble with our words especially here at times! But what is so beautiful is our Lord God does not leave us there! But He always draw us back to Him!!!
We are a family... and what is family? But to love, encourage, pray, and understand when we make our mistakes!!

You owe me no apology. I support what you said and that's a fact.
You forced some to consider thier ways and some don't like it when they have to face the truth about themselves. It's called---Denial.
