Thank you, Brother. If I gave you the full details, you may tell me I did the right thing. I can't go into the sordid details of that on a public forum, you understand.
I will get my chance to speak about this to him later. He said, in front of everyone, "we can discuss this another time". Anyway, the situation didn't warrant me going on with it as it would have appeared to be an argument.
The way I was looking at it, I was outnumbered by the men and none of them challenged him, so I didn't feel I should press it further. I can be submissive like that.
I will argue with him about it later in a one on one. You can count on that because he was dissing Paul and I can't let that stand.
In my experience, I see people more comfortable taking a negative view of God and His Word than seeing the beautiful power in the lessons. It can be challenging and also kind of depressing.
For example, we were talking about how God deals with us. One person was commenting about how God... let's see, how did he described it? "whopped up" on him for something he did wrong.
I said, "I would be devastated if God spoke to me that way and I don't believe He actually spoke to you that way. I've made plenty of mistakes and He has shown me my wrong by His Word. It came to me so gentle, I wanted to repent and do right. It doesn't make sense to me that God would 'whoop up' on a person."
But he insisted and I still don't believe it.
Just venting... I guess I'm kind of down today.
My soul followeth hard after thee....Love one another with a pure heart fervently.
