Yes, i have moved the line--off the page, and into the spiritual--i would like to believe--which to me is just how we say "into the everyday human transactions of life." Now, relating that to your quote, i read "if being the bigger person in a difficult matter eludes you, it is because you have no clue." Would you accept that?

honestly with all respect, I dont understand what your saying. i do think that at the end of the day we are miles from one another. I believe (because my eyeballs have seen) that there are absolutes in scripture. I further believe that it is not mean or nasty or hateful to agree with scripture about those absolutes.

There is one door, and anyone trying to enter via some other way is a theif.

But that doesnt mean I hate the lost or glory in thier demise.

THAT doesnt mean when some former Apostolic comes along and tells me I am an idiot, that I am going to just smile and tell them blessed be.... or whatever.
