I am sorry if you find my approach difficult. I find it interesting to take an idea and explore the meaning and its different implications. I am not reading in what you personally meant by the phrases but how they come across to me, and then I am responding just to the idea, which does represent a position many would take. It is a way of expanding an idea, it is not meant as anything agressive or pointed.
I got to laugh - "your posts are generally very introspective"
Is this a bad thing? I do not think either way, all I do is express an idea.
Amen, that love is the biggest thing. So sister we are in agreement, I could kiss you, praise the Lord.
Just to say, I do not know how you think, what you think, who you are or how you live. Should I so I can say things in just the right way for you? I am sure that is actually impossible, I can only share as the Lord gives me words, so I apologise if I have upset you, unless ofcourse it is the contents of the gospel that is upsetting, which I can do nothing about.
One thing I have learnt over my life, it is always better to share and then get feedback, than stay silent and assume we all agree. We grow by sharing, learning from each other, and adjusting the words so we might encourage each other the more.
By the way if you make a quote, be ready for it to be miss-quoted because whatever we say, it will be understood in ways we did not expect or even intend, that is just part of public speaking.
