spirit or doctrine,
I must be the one to apologize. I'm sorry. I saw the "winkie" and got the drift of a tongue-in-cheek reply but neglected to make myself very clear. I usually try to include a line explaining that what I write is only my opinion, eg. I do not have answers, just an opinion, and neglected to do so.
There is only one answer and this is from God Himself. Some have a much better understanding than others. After 37 years I still sometimes feel as if I am a babe, a learner feeding on milk rather than meat.
There is too much confrontation in my natural, family life right now to ever wish to seek confrontation elsewhere, especially with those who seek God in Spirit and in Truth. Sometimes my mouth oversteps my brain and it becomes difficult to catch it when these things happen. This board is for edification, opinion and instruction between believers and I do not wish to set the wrong example to those whom I have tried to give advise on how to conduct themselves on this board.
I actually usually have a great sense of humor! After all who in his right mind would ask for his salary doubled from last year for a part time seasonal job and not even think the boss might take it wrong? ME! ...but she did have to ask if I was joking...
Peace in our Lord,
Richard
PS
I didn't get the raise...

Romans 8: 29 For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.THese verses in John have made me feel as if Jesus desired for us to have equality with him as touching the Father: John 17:22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: 23 I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
