Good morning,
In the past we have not had the best of relationships..I've had a change of heart this week ..although I can never agree with your theology or your ways of communicating on here..

I 've learned to respect you because God lives in both of you...so I love you because you are His. Fact, anyone who has accepted Jesus in my book is fine with me..the walk of sanctification and perfection is a walk between the individual and the Lord..

The reason I couldn't do this sooner..is because I doubted God's love for me..ou can't love others when you doubt that God loves you..thus the much fasting and much Bible reading..I was trying to earn God's love ..which is IMPOSSIBLE..Two days ago the Lord opened my heart to my signature verse.NOTHING can separate you from the love of God..Once I recieved God's unconditional love I found it much easier to love others..thus the reason for this thread..

So, I just wanted to say I have no more bitter feelings toward you guys...God's love is a very powerful force...I no longer see men as men but I see God in men..even when I don't agree with what my eyes and ears tell me..I do beleive wholeheartedly that you are both saved and going to Heaven .

Sincerely,
Chuck 7

Thanks Chuck. I also have no ill will of hard feeling. I enjoy much of what you post, but as you point out, we don't always agree. I hope I don't reply any differently to your post than I would to someone else.
It would be hard for me to switch from the doctrine that I hold to, however I would not say "never", as I would have to make the change, if God were to reveal something new unto me. I want to always keep an open mind as nothing can be put into a sealed vessel.
My purpose on this site is two-fold, To learn from others, and to present what I can to anyone who is also striving for a deeper understanding. We all have something to present to the mix, and all have room for improvement in our walk with God.

Good to hear your throwing that yoke off Chuck. Resentment is a prison unto itself . . . .like being in a foxhole imagining enemies on every side when in actuality your the only one there.
I don't disagree with all of your theology tho. . . .just the parts thats wrong lol. Also, we both are not fond of the others ways of expressing ourselves. . . . .But irregardles, there's no sense in carrying around a bag of resentment over it. We're not all wired the same way but disagreeing, or clashing to me is over once I've had my say.
At one time I viewed your wavering as a weakness that I don't allow in myself. I've come to see your "wavering" more in the light of a struggling to find the truth. The only real difference between us in that is that I won't voice a firm opinion until I have it all worked out and etched in stone in my mind and spirit. . . .I do however commend you for diligently searching.
Of course, if we both express our opinions we will continue to disagree at times. Your not going to like the way I say something and I'm going to care for your input about that . . .but either way it does'nt really have to go beyond that.
Keep on keeping on and God bless all that touches your life in Jesus name.
