I guess part of my improper Christian speech is not having memorized the urban dictionary as i have no idea what you think BDF means. Silly me, i was referring to something based on CC, not on urban dictionary. Therefore whatever you think i was saying that was inappropriate was actually not at all meant to be anything but 'bible discussion forum'. If you took it as something worse, that's not on me, it's on you and what goes on in your own mind. There was nothing improper or inappropriate in what i said or meant.

My daughter is 11. She is my step daughter but has become my own. I love her very much and am deeply committed to showing her what a man of God looks like. Two weekends ago my church had their annual Daddy/Daughter dance. This is the 3rd time we have gone. In December I bought her a diamond ring that I planned to give to her this year at the dance. When the time felt right I took her down the hall and we sat on the step and I told her this:
As your dad, it is my job to come along side you and to help you to guard your heart. As you get older, there are going to be temptations and confusing situations that arise in your life that will be potentially damaging to your heart....so I give you this ring as a reminder that I am hear to help you to stay pure until your wedding day because that is what Jesus wants for you and has tasked me to help you accomplish.
We both cried and our relationship and trust grew that day. So no one can ever accuse me of not taking the sanctity of the marriage relationship seriously and for not understanding the gift that God intended for sexual intimacy to be.

As much as Jason knows scripture, he's got some maturing to do. I know a guy that was just like him. For 6 years he was on fire....everywhere he went it was....do you know Jesus...why not....do you want too....bible this bible that.... just constant incessant relentless obnoxiousness. He is now a hopeless drunk...lost everything, his family his house....everything.
If his reply back to me was like this...
Do you know what i would have said back?
But is that what happened? No. He didn't care if I thought the wrong thing. He let me continue to believe something false. As I said, if someone I thought misunderstood me in what I had said, I would try and clarify what I meant so as not to have them think ill in what I had said. I say this because it is good not to mislead someone.
"Hey, Jason. That is not what I was saying. BDF means Bible Discussion Forum."
Do you know what i would have said back?
"Dear U: I am deeply sorry for thinking the wrong thing. You have my deepest apologies."
