"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity" (Psalm 133:1).
I think I may have caused a rift between the Colonel and I during our previous discussions in regard to this topic.
But I have done my part to address reconciliation between us if there was some bad flavor that I caused between the Colonel and I.
I discern a sense of unity between us regardless of my negative comments presented earlier in the other thread against you. Do you agree Colonel?
Is everything okay? Do you discern peace and unity among us and John..."No problem, no judgment, it all worked out well."

Hey Colonel, it's okay to examine Scripture and attempt to find the best possible answer to the questions asked, or what the passage is actually saying. Even though some of us here at LFF may not necessarily agree on every point that is discussed, other members interpretation of certain context being looked at is important. I know I've got some "blindsides" that prevent me from seeing the "bigger picture," that I may need further insight on, as others shed light upon a certain subject being discussed or debated, that I was previously unaware of, visa versa. Heck, "iron sharpens iron," wouldn't you agree? Remining humble and teachable benefits all believers whatever Christian environment they find themselves participating in. Even though I need to remind myself of this constantly. I've learned that if I do hit a stump discussing a topic in a thread amongst other members, I need to be open to other Christian views, within the parameters of Scripture, being open minded, (heart) and not close minded. If the Holy Spirit reminds me that I had a wrong attitude or posted something abrupt out of carnal behavior, I need to bring it to the Lord and ask the offending party to forgive me. Believe it or not Colonel, I've enjoyed our interactions together in different threads over the years. Even though we may not have seen eye to eye on everything, that does not mean I haven't gleaned truth from your knowledge and Christian experience in your walk with the Lord over the years. I look forward to future dialogue with you, here, in this body of believers at Living Faith Forum.![]()

@ Smitty: As an English major, you are making me cringe Brother...
It's "Between the Colonel and Me"![]()
