In short, the answer is to repent of carnality and to let His love flow again. Because it's all about love.
Brother EB, I said some hurtful things to you out of anger. I'm sorry. What I said didn't glorify God, nor did it help the witness I'm called to be. I was a jerk. I'm sorry for reacting that way too you.

Since we have had this hullabaloo in front of God and everyone I want to show you something. Remember when I said you were the same guy who wore a starched long sleeve shirt? Who would march his wife back into the house to change her headcovering? You posted the same reason you post now. You said you were a jerk to her and now a jerk to me. I accept peoples' apologies, I apologize when I feel that I've crossed a line and someone was hurt.
But sorry can be a sorry word if we are continually apologizing to each other. What I mean, is that I don't want an apology, I look for changed behavior. If I tell you I'm sorry, I make well sure that I don't ever commit the crime again. That's what I love about the Apostolic movement because it was not about apologizing and then committing the crime again. Seriously, when you guys tell your horror stories I shake my head. Because every religion has its people who either don't believe, are flying under the radar, who are change agents, are full blown snakes and devils. Every religion has its bad examples. But every religion should be judged by its best.
Listen, nothing personal, please don't take this the wrong way. because I really don't want you to understand this. This thread died the death of a 1,000 cuts a long time ago. No one ever even came close to dealing with my original thoughts or what I posted concerning the language in the LXX which is the Bible Jesus used. I have the greatest respect for Essais because unlike me he knows when to leave the thread alone. I have way too much fun, and probably would of stayed on the Titanic as it sunk. There is a German gentleman that my wife and I know. Who actually uses the Bible with Mien Kampf. He believes Adolf Hitler is coming back in the future with Jesus Christ. But this time Adolf will be a woman. My wife and I were at the grocery store and my wife was talking to this gentleman. I asked her, "what do you think about him?" She looked at me and said "Dominic, the man is totally insane."
Now, this was part of an awaking I had. That religions attract for the most part insane people. I mean criminally insane. No, they won't actually murder you (well they might, but that's another subject) but they kill you softly. They wear you don't with all the constant Christianisms which they say they have the sweet love of Jesus in their pretty blue eyes. When actually they just have to say that because the teachings of Christ require that. That's legalism.
I asked you "do you do that?"
Then you apologize, and say you shouldn't of ever done that to me. You got in the flesh, you got angry, you called me names, and now say your sorry and all things are new again?
2 Corinthians 6:6 in the KJV it says love unfeigned. Which means no faking the love. My father was an atheist, my mother was a Catholic. Both saw right through Churchanity. They didn't know what a Pentecostal was, they called Baptist, Pentecostals, SDA, Mormons, all Born Agains. Well, that's what my mother called them. My father called them other things which I can't post here.
Aquila you are no different than any legalist with a haircut and a shoe shine.
You said you got carnal, so is any legalist. They are carnal. They put the cart before the horse.
You apologize to me once before, but it didn't hold. Because you were looking for a mutual trade of apologies. Which would of sealed the deal. Yet, the way it works is that when you apologize you don't take it back. No matter what you think the other side is doing or doing to you.
So, I said my piece. Nothing personal, these are just my words. I remember when you were married to your first time. We have posted on this forum for a long time. That's why you have more posts than me.
But you believe some far out stuff, I don't mean just religious, but what you been posting over at the political section. If you owe anyone an apology it is analogorgan. That poster has never (to my knowledge) ever warranted someone to rock his cavities.
