I've tried explaining my thoughts before and you disregarded and mocked it.

I'll try again.

I believe you see my posts and respond without really reading them or caring what they say. The reason I believe this is because there have been two obvious cases in which I have said something and you responded by attacking me, but then later someone says the same thing and your response is completely different.

First example:

I posted:

You responded with:

In spite of his former idiotic opinion of Trump, Trump is not going to let pettiness stop him from appointing who he deems to be the right person. You could learn from this.
About a week later came this post from someone else:

Similar comments, completely different responses from you. Why is that? Obviously you're not obligated to answer, I find it very odd that you would attack and mock me for my comment, but validate someone else's similar comment.

The second example is more recent:

I commented that I haven't read any posts from you critical or disagreeing with Trump. Two others also stated they didn't recall seeing any posts either. Yet your response to them was completely different than your response to me. While the three of us had similar comments, you only singled me out to slander me with your "biggest liar on AFF" comment. Why?

IMO, your accusation of me being racist wasn't some elaborate scheme to prove a point. It was you just posting a knee-jerk response. Just as you've reacted in haste to other posts of mine, attacking me but then responding differently when someone else makes a similar comment. There was even one post in this thread which I asked a question three times and you still asked what question I was requesting be answered. So I really don't believe you give any of my post much of a thought before responding. You see a post from me, and your first instinct is to attack.

I'm certainly guilty myself of attacking your posts and posting my own insults.

This morning I was in a foul mood when I read through the comments here. I'm positive you would feel the same way, had I posted what you did. I do believe an apology is owed for your accusations to me, but that's between you and God.

For my part, I'm supposed to forgive, even if you refuse to apologize. If I want God to forgive me, I must forgive you.

So this is it. I forgive you for the two accusations you made against me. I will try to let it go and move forward.

The Bible also says I need to make things right if at ought with a brother, so I apologize for my attacks and insults against you.

Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

Bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.

Re: Trump's Staff and Cabinet

I'm so happy to see the apologies, forgiveness and reconciliations, one of the many things that separates us from the world.

And I you, my brother. I should have sought and extended clarification before slamming you as a liar. Thanks for forgiving me. Sometimes its easy in the clutter of a forum such as this for one's true intentions to get lost. I appreciate your reaching out. May the Father's heart be pleased.

Re: Trump's Staff and Cabinet

Funny thing.... I haven't been on here for over a week, and was driving home an hour ago listening to focus on the family's radio show "Thorn creek bridge", and for some reason I thought of you two.
Logged on, and first thread I check out I see things "mending". Very cool to see.
