My feelings were coming from the fear I offended you, and may stupidly be offending others.
Like Dave said about writers...we are stupid! ;D
We don't always close all the windows, and point out the doors to our readers.
And we should be grateful to those that come in and add to the understanding, as you were trying to do.

If there was nothing to add to a post that was started, then why start one.
As I reflect and reread this, I see that my ego was in a rush to defend my intentions.  I do try really hard to be sensitive to others, and balance it with honesty.  I go over what I write several times to make sure I'm being clear. 

Like everything we take credit for as doing right, Pride is always there trying to creep in.  I know I was led to write this post, as God showed me something in myself to work on.  Do you think?...If we truly understand righteousness comes from God, and not ourselves, we will stop reacting in defense of ourselves?

Reflectively,
Brenda

Hey Brenda,

                  Don't feel bad, I tend to be overly sensitive myself, alot of it probably has to do with the environment we were exposed to growing up. This is why your not likely to see me attach any individual(at least not deliberately) at this Forum or criticize their comments. Whats the point ! If I believe that someones comment directed at me is obviously attaching or cocky, I might PM them or vent about the matter with a close friend, especially when I believe their being ridiculously picky, this rarely occurs, but is probably inevitable when imperfect Human Beings interact with one another. Now I realize that people are entitled to their opinions, but they don't have to be rude about it or cocky. This even applies when we dealt with Samuel in that Topic regarding using a Concordance, in his case, he broke the rules, he's entitled to his beliefs, but the rules state that we aren't allowed to teach Heresy at this Site, we joined this Forum for fellowship and to get away from these unscriptural lies. It may sound overly tolerant to some, but I respect Samuel's right to belief whatever he wants, however when he joined this Forum, he agreed to at least keep these obvious contrary beliefs to himself, no one forced him to join, instead he was inspired to pull a fast one on us.

                   Remember Brenda, whenever I answer someone's Post, my intentions are noble and many times make comments as an observer, rarely applying my comment to anyone specifically, unless obviously stated by me.

                                    In God's Love Sister and thankyou for being a support for my wife
                                    regarding her eventual surgery.   Samson.

OBrenda:
OK

Somebody explain to me, how a Post I titled "It's about You" to encourage our Brothers and Sisters....

Ends up Encouraging Me?

Truly Blessed & Confused!

I posted this in another thread,


--- Quote ---Hi all,

This post and Brendas thread "Its All About You" makes think we shouldnt be afraid to speak up among friends.  If you post something and it way off base, its ok, its a learning experience, just dont be afraid to post.  Heck you never know you might inspire someone else to post something i.e. Brenda's thread and this one is inspiring me to type this now.  Dont be afraid to be wrong, just be open to correction if you are.  Search the scriptures for your answers.  This is a great way to study the Word on a subject, a great way to practice just in case you are compelled to confront someone outside of us about our Lord and Saviour.  Speak up!!!

Besides, aint it one of the things that takes part in the LOF that we all have to go through, that has to be burned out....

 Rev 21:8
But the fearful(timid), and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Eph 6:20 - Show Context
For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

Eph 3:12 - Show Context
In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him

All in Jesus,

Anthony

I will give it a shot. You wrote "It's about You"... that is you, not me, right? I am me and you are you. So obviously you are talking about you right? If you had written "It's about Me" then I would have known you were talking about me and not you, right?  ;D
