Bobby, thanks for your honesty and humility. I learn just by watching you guys at work according to the spirit.

Amen. I am learning that too as I go along. Just two days ago the train was delayed just long enough for me to miss the early one. GRRR. I was so mad, and even thinking wrathful thoughts about people who have wronged me. But thank God for his grace to kick my butt back into line. Just when you think you are there, you are not. When you think you got it, it means your sin remains. It is such a blessed marathon race we run healing every day, because the next day you need those vices less and less and less and they don't have as much pull over you as before. God bless you.

--- Quote from: bobbys43 ---Some of the things these christians come up with! It does make them angry and I have a real good story to tell you all!!
It may be rather long so please be patient with me because I have to get this off my chest!
I emailed my younger brother,whom I have not spoken to in a month or so and I was trying to make peace with him.
I emailed him telling him I had been thinking about him and wanted to tell him and his family to have a good Ressurection Day( easter to the world of christiandom).
He emailed me back and said for me to have a nice Resurrection Day also and then mockingly threw in and Have a blessed easter too!!

Hello bobby,
I fail to see any kind of mockery going on here just from the words. Does your brother , in season, also wish you a blessed and merry christmas?
Unless you have specifically told your brother that you do not celebrate easter or christmas or any other pagan-based holiday, then it would only seem natural for him to repond to you as he did with love and kindness. Wishing you a blessed easter was a very thoughtful thing to do.
It is great that you are so enthusiastic about your current direction in your search for truth. You remind me of my sister who is very hyper and reacts to a lot of things without thinking things through sometimes.
If I had sent one of my catholic brothers an email such as yours, they might have told me to go to hell and stick my scripture quotes you know where.
I believe you owe your brother an apology and thanks for his patience and understanding. His love for you definitely shows through in his response. Cherish it and make amends is my counsel.

Just remember my brother when asking God for more patience this scripture. Patience is a hard lesson to learn. (It is for me)
James 1:3,4
3Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

Pe 3:9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
Pe 3:10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
1Pe 3:11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
1Pe 3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
1Pe 3:13 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
1Pe 3:14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
1Pe 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
Bobby, I am very familiar with the type of enthusiasm you have, you want everyone you know to share this treasure, you want to distribute this most precious knowledge and peace. How can that not be a good thing? It is not good when we choose the time and place and not leave it in God's hands. With continued study and understanding, growing in the Spirit, by living life with patience, love and charity others will see the peace you have in Him and will eventually ask you when the time is right, not our time, but His.
Ecc 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
