Christians forgive themselves

[ronedee]

I'm not saying anything negative about your beliefs and opinions, I'm just offering you another perspective. Take it or leave it ronedee, I was offering compassion. When I was a Christian, if I'd seen one of my brothers react like you have been recently, I'd give him the same advice. I did not insult you. I expressed concern. As a Christian you should be less defensive and be able to discern right motives from wrong. Your response (suggesting I ignore you) is the clearest example of what I expressed. Are you so used to ridicule and abuse that you see persecution in aid? Lighten up Christian soldier. Where's your joy brother?

Sincerity around here is a rare occurrence. But, I'll accepted it graciously! Your points are valid, and duly noted.

Some take my aggressiveness as hostility. Its not. Feel confident that my own family has pointed this out to me repeatedly over the years.

I'm an intimidating personality. Mostly because of where I've worked for 24 years. I have a temper but it vents easily, and quickly.

Thanks for your concern and honesty... I'm a work in progress sensitivity-wise.

I mean no harm. And I truly mean that!
