Gentlemen, we need not quarrel over whether a general principle was recited to a particular FReeper. The fact is, none of us is perfect, and I have throttled back my visceral reactions to various statements and rewritten response posts several times until I was satisfied my inner child was not interfering with the content. Ideally, I would like to not have that struggle, but being a fallible human has its disadvantages. Thank God for His grace.
JPX, I having been following this conversation and intend to get back to you on a number of issues, but my time has been constrained. I am especially interested in addressing some of the epidemiological questions you raise, hopefully in the near future.
Meanwhile, for,the sake of civility, perhaps everyone might try assuming, at least for the sake of argument, that everyone here really believes what they are saying, no matter how unreasonable it may seem. I have found it really helps keep the focus on the issues. Just a thought ...
Peace,
SR
Amen and good advice for all of us.

I understand and I look forward to reading what you have to say. Your posts have a way of inspiring a reflective disposition. It is welcome and something I truly consider a charism.

I concur. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called Children of God.
