They should shock you. 

What happened is very common but what is common is not always godly. I didn't post those words to cause any distress beyond that of spurring you on toward good works and..... change. 

Imagine how shocked I might have been reading a few words posted absent then entire sentence or paragraph in which those words occurred. If you can lay hold of how that miht have felt then perhaps you can have some empathy and if you can find such empathy then perhaps you can also feel what it was like to have one's character impugned and faith questioned only to receive, "I apologise for the way I spoke to you on the thread,” Does God Only want to save some” I would have apologised on that thread, but was banned from replying to that thread." 

Shock is the correct response if it is the correct shock. 

John 3:20-21
 "For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.  "But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God."

I am relying on the Spirit of God at work in you to look at what happen AND to live courageously, to come into the light so that God's work in your life may be seen. 

You have not posted the whole conversation..I said more than that..please post the whole conversation..if not, I will get my son to do it..

I just read through this thread. What was a private exchange between two parties has become public. The cat, so to speak, is out of the bag. Some things have been said that cast a poor light on individuals involved and for that reason and for clarification and for the hope of a reconciliation following the truth being plainly shown--I feel that I must allow the actual exchange to be plainly shown 'in public'. There is something to be gained in doing so. There is something for the community to learn and to be edified.

In addition to pleasing the Lord, there is behind it an object lesson regarding the TOS and why it is important to adhere to its tenets.

Other than what I have described, this thread had run its course. We all know that an apology or better a confession is only the beginning...or I hope that we do.

Above is what I posted earlier.

I though the redeeming potential for this discussion is if and when the entire exchange is properly exposed, so that potential for slander is not a permanent part of the record here at Worthy and healing proceed. If that isn't happening, than I think it best to disappear the two related threads. Wrong accusations are a stain and not to be taken lightly...especially within the Body of Christ. Make no mistake--this forum represents a community of believers and Jesus Christ.

The thread is temporarily locked to give a time out and opportunity to consider and respond as I have suggested.

Thread is open folks...may God bless and be glorified.

Do please show me (and the others here) the scriptures saying, "apologising is the act of peace making."

There isn’t any actual scripture, saying those exact words.

 

But plenty of scripture on peace making....can you explain how we keep the peace, when there has been an attack on someone’s character.as I attacked you on a thread.......how would you right that wrong?

This assumes there is a breaking of a peaceful relationship. When one is attacked or insulted, this does not mean that the individual on the receiving end reacts outside of what pleases Christ. Making assumptions, such as this, is what easily leads to more misunderstanding. It colors our perceptions of following responses. This speaks to maturity.

How am I making assumptions....when I apologised for the attack?

i was trying to make peace!?

 

My attack upset my spirit..so I believe God placed it on my heart to make peace.

I didn't say you were making assumptions--I don't know if you were. I was answering your question.

The question assumes there is a break of peace--I was stating that this is not necessarily the case when an individual is insulted. If a person throws a dart at me, it doesn't mean it will find its mark. I may duck or be impervious to its point.

When I respond to the dart, the other party may assume that I was damaged and that the subsequent response is adversarial. It may seem to be adversarial, but is not.

That can set off a series of exchanges that are problematic--a lack of true communication.

That makes sense...thank you.
