It doesn't, but it was the only way I could tie in "hornets"!!!!!!

The man respects my husband highly and so do I. I didn't marry a sissy.

A man who doesn't threaten another back and walks away from a fight is a sissy?

Where did I say that this is what they do?" The only proper response to what I asked you was for you to show me where I said what you seemed to claim I was saying.

But, Chancellor, your posts seem to imply that men will never have some points in their lives where they will have to take a stand, as a man, to protect possibly themselves and their families.

I was talking with someone the other day that was standing in line at the bank and a guy behind him was complaining and saying, "You know what I don't like is "GD" this and that/"

The guy turned around and said, loudly, "You know what I don't like? I don't like it when men take the Lord's name in vain."

He didn't use fists, but his words were the same. The man apologized for it and all the women in the bank were proud of him for standing up for what was right.

In some cases, IMO, yes. If he's done all he can and the guy is still pressing, yes. He needs to put a stop to it for the sake of others.

He still lost his temper and put a stop to "unrighteous" acts.

1 Peter 2:21-23

21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
KJV



1 John 4:17

17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is , so are we in this world.
