I have been thinking, I owe you a thank you.
 
I know my arguments never changed your convictions and beliefs, but it gave me the opportunity to expose your beliefs, opinions, and bias to the rest of the world to judge for them selves.
 
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to express my own opinion, philosophy, and beliefs to the rest of the world.

..'Hear, hear!' Whenever a person takes a 'sledgehammer' approach
in attempting to figuretively demolish a short, ventured-forth opinion..
{Re., the "best reform of mankind"}, the mostly annonymous opinion-
-venturer will Always garner more sympathy {even if he/she decides
Not to defend their brief remark}, than the person who takes it upon
themselves to demolish a quaint-looking 'windmill'; especially, while
all-the-while, proclaiming to do it 'in-the-name-of-God'{!}
 
..For myself, I would've picked God's 'Plan of Salvation' {and our
faith in it, if that be the case} Re. 'mankind's best reform'; but,
Hey.. even if that was what 'IBIJ' was ultimately referring to, it's
a trueism regarding seeking unity-of-thought/purpose with others,
that a more gracious 'honey' response-approach, will Always be
more effective, than 'fly-paper'.. or Even a 'sledgehammer'!!

I take it you don't approve of my not to subtle approach for cutting off a mind game fiasco that was benefitting no one.
 
That's OK, I guess I am a slow learner; it takes me a long time to learn when I am whistling Dicksey against the wind, and it is time to cut it off.

..In reply, to "grandpa13", Huh?!, my post was in affirmation
{agreement} of what you posted!
..Oh well, I'm sure we All have enough on our minds, without
our three, immediate-in-time {thus far}, back-and-forth posts
making any difference.

Hi GP13
 
Thank you for your thank you.
 
However, as it relates to my biblical positionings I was an open book to this MISC BB long before you came along. You missed all the best of the "abuse" delivered to your's truly and Gammaburst. Can you believe that at one time people thought he and I were the same entity?
 
Anyways, if I remember right you came to Caissa to reprimand us for having religious conversations on a chess site in the first place. Yet, instead of setting the "example" for a new way of thinking at one level or another you became involved in the discussions though it seems your way of dealing with opposition to your points of view is non-answer. As to date you still haven't gotten that lifeless soul example to Heaven. Just think, it's floating in the abyss. Hey! Purgatory! Don't get me started. :)
 
You are very welcome for having had the opportunity to "express YOUR OWN thoughts to the world. Now people are left with the decision of being Christians and following Christ thru His Word or Being GP13ians and listening to Grandpa for all their wisdom. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord... carry on.
 
Cheers

Hi Gamma
 
Ahhh, the days of ole when one could actually anticapate answers to their responses. Hmmmm, come to think of it I can't remember when that was ever the case as it relates to dialog's with you.
 
Never-the-less, I digress.
 
Wether it's a hurricane or a light breeze, I believe you are quite correc. You will always find me winding up the road of direct Biblical doctrine. It's nice that you have sympathy for the "under-dog"; I would rather teach full truth than let someone continue to believe a propagated lie or false doctrine. And should this not be a false doctrine that I am contending with then it would seem to me that it would be your responsibility and duty to set me on the right course Biblically. However, judging from past history I won't expect this to be happening; at least not from a Gammma... Burst. :)
 
"unity-of-thought" at what price? The Pharasee's and Saducee's had unity of thought except for that trouble maker called Jesus. His obvious response was to remain cowered in the corner instead of speaking the TRUTH, right? Likewise, we are all called to speak the truth in love. As it relates to Windmill I cut all the sarcasm and went directly for the TRUTH of God's Word. It that convicts or confronts even one person is not my responsibility to focus upon. Mine is to speak the truth as clearly as possible in love; the Holy Spirit takes it from there. Since this dialog clearly dealth with "day of rest" and "sabbath" what sense would it have made for me to focus directly upon the "plan of salvation" within my response which everyone would have been shocked to find not coming forth?

Serving the Lord rather than trying to interpret his word is where Grandpas wisdom comes from, (if there is any). I don't claim to be wise, I just serve God as I understand him.

If you had a teacher teaching your particular process of accomplishing a specific objective wouldn't you expect them to use you as an extensive authority within the given topic since the entire course revolves around your particular expertise? Even if their were other ideas out there this course is supposed to be about your particular techniques, and no one elses.

I am not a teacher, religious, political or otherwise. I only speak up when my beliefs and phylosofy are being challenged.

We all teach someone somthing some time in our life. Not phylosophy, not religion, not politics... but principals around living life itself. But none-the-less whatever it is to be taught that which is focused upon is the information within not the information without the subject. So it goes with teaching the Word of God.
