This is what I canNOT understand...
If you have convictions about certain things...fine.
I have convictions, too, and some of them may not be yours...fine.
But what gives any of us the right to bash and insult and ridicule and make outright demeaning remarks about the household of faith?!
Where does "touch not mine anointed" come into play?!
Re of whether one thinks Bishop H is right or wrong, he is an elder and the delegated leader of the organization.
How do we reconcile what is being said and written with "this is my commandment, that ye love one another?!"
Where is the love?!
I don't see it...I see bitterness and anger and harsh words that cannot be retrieved.
This clouds whatever point one may be trying to make. Regardless of how valid a point may be, if it is surrounded with disrespect and untruth...if we can't hear the words for the tone in which they are presented...if superimposing the face of evil over the face of an elder seems right, then something is dreadfully wrong.
As I looked at the last thing I wrote, the thought came to me that this is a dark time, but as my nephew says, "I changed up my mind!!"
That's just what the enemy WANTS us to think!!
The situation may be serious and disturbing, but God has always had a people!!
The Church of Jesus Christ will not be diminished or broken because of hard feelings or anger.
The Church will prevail as long as even one of us is standing, for WE are the Church!! You and me individually and all of us collectively...WE are the Church!!
May heaven help us to administer love in the face of hate...
