Ok first i didnt insert words in your mouth, but i dont want to seem harsh and i mean this out of respect.

You need to step outside of your little theological box for a moment bishop, this

and create straw men arguments.

is uncalled for. Period. we are not discussing or debating doctrine. we are talking about imperfect people living in a imperfect world with real issues. (i t was not my intent to make any straw man arguement im plainly stating the issue) simple.

while i apologize for not completly understanding you, my goal was to show that much of what goes on needs to be evaluated,

while i agree with what you said about his mother and the internet, he at the same time is looiking to vent his frustrations, maybe he needs to be admonished positivly as well since we dont exactly know the tensions going on between them. regardless of their relationship.



you made this comment

because of how she's done you.... that is not Jesus at all.

you do realize we are not jesus and we dont live perfect lives. while we are being perfected in Christ and made the rightousness of God through Christ. We want to be Christ like we are not Christ in the since of how he lived a perfect sinless life.

it is impossible for us to do what Jesus did and that is to live a sinless life. many things we do intentionally or unintentionally isnt Christ like, and that is where the power of grace is.
