I lived in fear for a number of years but God has taught me how to learn for myself, know for myself and stand on my own.

I must admit that, although I have much to learn, I would never be where I am were it not for these brethren and the way I was treated.

They helped me find a road with God that is stable and free of fear.

For that... I give them honest and heartfelt thanks.

A testimony of a humble man.

Libs have been thin-skinned here too. Let's be real about that.

Often the momentum on forums here leans toward lib, maybe moderate. Rarely conservative. They feel the pressure.

Farewells. We all like them. It's called the "last word." Let's not over-analyze it.

BTW... who left now? Another Con Bites the Dust?

Very true.

Well it would be more conservative I am sure if they would not throw in the towel and call AFF backsliders etc.etc.etc

We all get quite carnal at times!

I've ranted a few times and wished I could delete it! LOL!!!!

We all do our best (or worst) work when we're mad, don't we? Anger doesn't really solve any problems, though, and if you hurt people with it, then you've crossed the line into sinful behavior.

In order to deliberately hurt someone, you usually have to first think to yourself that they are of no value, which is, in and of itself, an unchristian thought.

So....deletion is good--it means someone thought better of their actions. Maybe they retreated to their prayer closet to repent?

I've certainly had to repent over things I've said--and thought.

Ahhhh... I preached on that Sunday before last.

There is a lot of good instruction in that area of Corinthians.

Yessss....it's not so hard to control your actions and environment, but keeping your own thoughts in subjection to Christ? That's a whole new ballgame right there. I love the Epistles. I probably live there most of the time--I sometimes have to MAKE myself read other parts of the Bible. LOL!!!!

Consider though, that what you call "liberal" I would probably call "extremely conservative". And my liberalness may not register on most of the charts of AFF. But you're right...thin skin is a problem that doesn't understand the theological leanings of the owner of that skin.

And yes, count me in the number of people that would love to know who departed (I have a guess). He'll/she'll be back! I am!
