Hi,
I want to apologize for my behavior here, I am sorry there is no excuse. I am not good at explanations and sometimes I get frustrated and lash out. I don't apologize for my beliefs but for my bad attitude and I hope you all can forgive me.

I am shocked, offended and appalled... no, wait a minute... I meant to say I am guilty too.:blush:
It happens to the best of us. Sometimes this can be a terrible medium for getting one's point across because it lacks all of the nuances of a face to face encounter.
Most of us have pretty thick skin around here, so no worries.:D

It is easier to be completely transparent and we don't have to worry about being thought of as hard skinned as UM mentioned.
People tend to put others on ignore and then the enemy gets another inch to work with. We all need to be transparent and allow others to be transparent to show how the Lord works in our lives and let His light shine through us as we are enabled and declair to others what the Lord is doing.

There is no excuse.......that's a hard lesson for all of us to learn. There's something to be said about the willingness to apologize and even more to be said about the willingness to forgive. God Bless You, OTR....:hug:

Nothing wrong with cleasing the heart, we're all very proud of you it's another step closer to growth, as we all need (especialy me), except UM of course :lol:.

OTR - it takes a strong person to admit they may have behaved in an un-Christ-like manner. Good on ya!!

OTR, stepping forward as you've done shows Christ's work in your heart, and I want to thank you for expressing that. God bless, brother. :)

Thank You otr. forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
None of us are immune from getting riled up. I probably delete more responses than I post. If only we had a three second delay on the submit button.
Set a guard o Lord over my mouth, keep watch over the door of my lips. I think he meant keyboards too. :)
Be blessed, :hug:

I applaud your stepping forward in this matter. Some of us may have different doctrinal stances but we're all still brothers of the same cause. The cause of Christ. That's what we simply need to remember when we find ourselves up against another Christian.

I can't say I recall you being out of line or anything...something we all seem to take turns at doing I think...:rolleyes: But I am glad you realized it and apologized. Good for you! A good show of maturing in Christ. :)
Its very easy to be misunderstood on any message board I think because 80% of our communication comes from body language, facial expressions and tone of voice...something we just don't have on here. I know what its like to be misunderstood (probably we all do) and getting extremely upset about it. It can be hurtful to be misunderstood or lack the communication skills for a message board. Many times I think I am clear as a bell...but still people don't get it...:cool:
Hang in there!
God bless

I appreciate your willingness to express what God has laid on your heart.
Our Lord said let him who is without sin cast the first stone. And they who heard it, being convicted by their own conscience went out one by one. John 8:7-10
For the cause of Christ

I was not offended in any way. I hope that you were not offended by me either. We may disagree on some things but I bear you no ill will. Be blessed. God loves your humble and transparent heart. I am enjoying our discussions.
