Dcontroversial, it's funny how you're in the military, yet you show daily losses of self-control in practically every thread you post in.
Same goes for you, Elder Rehbein.
I don't think it's loss of control, I think it's more just his way of communicating. They say there's no atheists in a foxhole, well there's no pansies either. When you put your life on the front lines you kinda loose that soft and cuddly thing. I think that's what you're sensing and yeah, you have a point. He is a little rough around the edges. And we're not on the front line here, are we? I guess it depends upon which enemy you are fighting. And which one is fighting you.
So it's a matter of interpretation. For example:
Taylor a few points to ponder....
1. Seeing how you cannot judge mood, temperament and or motive over a chat web site you assessment is invalid.
2. Seeing how you are only 16.... you really don't know anything yet and will not know anything for about 20 years and then you will realize that you didn't know jack crap when you were 16 and thought you knew everything.
3. Seeing how 2 is true..I will over look your young ignorance of facts and misguided immature judgment and love you in Christ anyway and will not get mad or upset at what you said, but rather as an older and much wiser brother have corrected your thinking out of a pure motive and heart of Christian love...
Peace out Bro!
1. Since we can't see or hear true body language and vocal inflection when reading these posts, they can come across in ways unintended, and one has to take that into account when reading these things.
2. I was once 16, but you weren't once 47. I know things now that I didn't know then, and when you get to be my age you will realize that too. So remember your youth and consider my experience when you interpret the things that you read.
3. Realizing the experience difference, I will love you in Christ and assure you I am not writing in anger, and pray for the day you can see that I write out of passion for God and His love.
Wow! Was that just a gift of the Holy Spirit? A word of interpretation?
God bless you both
