We have posted together for many years. We have agreed and disagreed on some pretty big issues. But I have always respected you and have always had deep regard for you. I appreciate not just your stand, but the reasoning behind what you believe. Your path is not the same one I am on, but I respect men of faith and principle who are bold enough to stand up in a place where you will not get respect, nor be respected.
It seems I have been a appologist for you at different times when you were too much of a gentleman to defend yourself. That is an odd thing because as often as that has been the case, I have also not been in agreement with you on a number of issues.
I just wanted to add to the chorus of noise makers and raise my hand and say "thank you".
Thank you for being here. Thank you for articulating your views so well. Thank you for being willing to stand up to the heat of those who do not believe respect means anything. Thank you for the very many times, you have broken down some particular passage.
I am the better for having met you....even if that meeting has been "vertual"! God bless you and all you do for the Kingdom.
Ferd.
