This will be my last post to TT. I've had
fun and learned from you all. I will miss you very much: you are
family. I am not upset, nor am I shaken. I do not believe my "premises" are
wrong or that I am "barking up the wrong tree," as is frequently the charge -- I
would not be advocating these things if I did. Neither do I expect
that others will always accept or agree with me, and so I am not disillusioned
when they don't. No, the reason I'm leaving is this: I do not want to be a
stumbling block, and that is what I have become. I can't say a word without
it being spun and attacked. To stir up that much angst in a fellow
believer, is not good. The constant strife that we have to endure
because of it, is not good either, not for any of us. It is better for us
all that I just leave. Paul writes, "If your [sister] is grieved because of your
food, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy with your food the
one for whom Christ died." I know that it is not my "food" that is the
issue here; it's something much bigger -- but the admonition stands
nonetheless: I do not feel right about what I'm doing to my sister. Is this not
what Paul has in mind when he writes, "Therefore do not let your good
be spoken of as evil"? I think so.
