RE: [TruthTalk] Mediation of Christ -- the real vs false

[Jonathan Hughes]

Hi John,   I must disagree with you here; perhaps you haven’t yet read the entire conversation between Izzy and I.  What I think has nothing to do with being Canadian.  I would feel exactly the same way if I was American (My sister lives and works in America – I have close ties there).  I do not think that anyone should attack another country but I definitely feel that we should be able to critique them.  To critique, to have an opinion is not to attack.  Surely you don’t disagree?   As I mentioned to Izzy, if there are things said about Canada I am open to discuss them.  There would be no spit fire defense, only dialogue.   If you want to read putdowns read Izzy’s posts John.  To say that she has proceeded in an unchristian manner and has an unhealthy attitude in not a put down; it is an observation of how she has chosen to act on this forum.   Jonathan From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 09, 2004 3:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Mediation of Christ -- the real vs false   In a message dated 6/9/2004 5:58:38 AM Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: One of my points to Izzy (I believe it was missed) was that in the past 4 months I have been on TT she has flitted around discussing the more superficial topics leaving the doctrinal debates for others.  Then when her country’s actions are called into question her rockets fire and she proceeds to attack in an unchristian manner (and of course justifies it by saying my manners are bad and that it is sin to question America and asks that God forgive my jealousy).  This seems to me to be a very unhealthy attitude. A tad bit on the arrogant side of the ledger, me thinks.  You might not agree with Izzy, being Canadian and all, but her defense of country (her country, not yours) is understandable.   Apparently you think that you should be able to attack anyone's country without the risk of backlash  by those who are "ignorant" of your sense of truth.   If I decided to go after Cana dah , well, I would expect some spite fire defense from you.  So lets chalk it up to what is natural and normal and leave off the  putdowns.  John
