Using some smiley faces helps others to know when things are said in jest. He didn't use any so I took what he said seriously.  |
Smiley faces are typical forumese jesting. I didn't see any either, therefore I responded the way I did (although I could have been a little less abrasive myself).
Paul and Peter were brothers, but Paul withstood Peter to the face. Also, Peter and Barnabas had sharp contention between each other. etc etc... you know where I am going with this. I don't think disagreements, even sharp disagreements, are always inappropriate. We just need to keep in mind that the goal to our disagreement MUST BE for the best and most noble resolution. And that is what I hope for....
