Emotional affair

But over a period of time and reading your posts on FCF, NFCF, and on
AFF, there was developed in my mind a picture. The picture of a man who
seemingly could be thought of as tough, liberal who would argue just to
argue. But there was something deeper that shone through in your posts.
If you believed something was wrong, you would stand for it no matter
who would try to convince you otherwise.

I saw a young man that probably had a rough childhood, disappointments
through many experiences in and out of church. But I saw that man as one
who was learning and learning well.

Your post here confirms in my mind why I described you on another thread
as being conservative, a big teddy bear who loved God, his wife and his
children. Yes, we all have our own experiences which have brought us to
where we are today in Christ.

Paul speaks to someone in 2 Cor.7:8-11:

8For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season.

9Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.

10For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

11For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.

Bless you, dear Brother, and you can hide behind that big beard all you
want to, but I still "hear" a big teddy bear who loves God, his wife and his
children.

Parents are supposed to train up and discipline their children, but God
disciplines adult children. He's big enough. And He loves us SO much!
We are HIS people, the sheep of HIS pasture.

Sister Falla, I am on a quest for truth, just like the rest of us. When I find it, I have no choice but to defend it. You're right about a lot of the things you've said about me, except that I know I would never be accepted among conservatives as a fellow conservative. Just the fact that I am willing to withstand them face to face disqualifies me and makes me rebellious in their opinion. That's ok, though. I like being a free agent. Thank you for your kind words.
