Because I am reflecting so deeply on this Easter and what it meant for Jesus to be crucified, because of two things that were communicated to me by Ash & Watchman, from her, that Watchman prayed for me and from him that she was one of the kindest, sweetest, gentlest people...I want a fresh start between everybody here.
Without calling out any faults, I suggest we take advantage of the graces of this Easter.
By the way Watchman, there have been somethings that you've said that I wholeheartedly agreed with. That I must confess.
Now, if we could just all of us (myself included) work to express ourselves without malice or without any negative intent, we might just learn a thing or two (myself included).
God bless everyone on this Holy Saturday, the night before Jesus rose from the tomb to be ressurected in all His heavenly glory.

I have just come across this thread, I do not know how I missed it before, and I have to admit I have conducted myself in less than a christian manner. I appreciate cepha's post and want to personally apologize to him for some of the things I have said. God has laid a heavy burden on my heart. He has called me to teach obedience and self sacrifice to a disobedient and self indulgent, American church. For the most part I am rejected for my message, as all true men and women of God will be, and that has put me on the defensive. However that is no excuse to berate or belittle anyone. Please accept my apologies. Yes I do pray for you cepha, as I do for the church (catholic and protestant) as a whole. I feel we the church in general are lost, and the remnant needs to be more stedfast than ever, seeing as I believe the day of the Lord is drawing near.

I feel we the church in general are lost, and the remnant needs to be more stedfast than ever, seeing as I believe the day of the Lord is drawing near. Water under the bridge as far as I'm concerned. And yeah, the church (the body of Christ) is lost. If you look at the most reverant Protestant churches and The Catholic Church (in Vatican City, not so much in America), you'll note that they are fighting attacks from the world. Whether we agree or not as Protestants and Catholics, you'll note that the truest Catholics and the truest Protestants all have the same foundations for their beliefs (on Jesus Christ, on abortion, on the meaning of marriage, on charity, etc...). The rest is just "noise". Anyway, I'm glad you got to read this and acknowledged that you didn't read it before. It clears up a lot of your statements "after" I posted this. Granted, I'm passionate, but when I recognize I'm being a but about things, I try to correct myself. So, let's just move on from this. Far as I'm concerned, Easter cleared up a lot of things for me. I hope it did for all of us. Again, it was a fresh start for me.  |
