[TruthTalk] Questions set the tone

[Judy Taylor]

Hi Terry, I think working out our own salvation takes a lifetime and learning how to love is probably the most difficult because of the generational stuff we all have to learn to overcome and none of us escape that. It's more difficult using this means of communication because at times things we say can appear abrupt in print when not meant that way.  I know I would never intentionally verbally stone anyone but yesterday an old friend who I know loves me deep down became offended and verbally pelted me over that movie which is becoming more and more like an icon in some people's lives.  I don't think your plain spokenness is a hindrance at all. judyt   God allows the devil to raise up heretics to make his people study   From: Terry Clifton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It's not a you and Kevin thing Judy.  The Lord knows that I am no diplomat.  I have been guilty of coming down a little hard on those aggrevatin' people who can't see how right I am and how wrong they are.  We all do it to some extent.  I think that probably Kevin is still learning and still growing ( If he is not there is something wrong) and I think he will learn to be more like Jesus and less like a pharisee as he matures spiritually.  What excuse you and I can offer I do not know.  I am seventy years old and have been a Christian for twenty-three years now.  I should have arrived!  All I can offer as an excuse is that the Lord made me plain spoken.  If I think I see something wrong, I say so.  I do not apologize for that.  I just apologize for not doing it in a less offensive manner.  You should have heard me when I first started my walk.  I made Kevin look like a pussy cat. Stay tuned.  One of these days I will be perfect.  Hopefully, He will return soon.  I am tired of waiting.  In the meantime I am looking for a better way than verbal stoning.  Been there, done that.  Not good.

I know Kevin's style (and mine at times) is kind of cut and dried but I have come to appreciate the time he puts into doing his homework and his zeal for God's Word. =====================================================================
