I think I will return my expensive toilet that saves energy, flushes quietly, conforms to my ..... and begin using an outhouse. And maybe suggest this to Joyce.
It is difficult to be above reproach in this day and age. No matter who you are. I can only extend grace to her. And know that God is always by her side, and always at work with her teaching, exhorting her, but above all, LOVING her. Can we do less?
This site is to share with each other what WE believe (and may be subject to debate), but why bring up people and talk about their beliefs who are not even here to correct the facts?
I have to admit that I wish my toilet seat was a little warmer (oh, yes, they have them, don't they?) and that it changed shapes as various people sat on it. Would that cost more? But even if it cost $1,000, by the time people talked about it, it would become $23,000.00 And if enough people got on board with the idea, it would soon be a $100,000.00 toilet.
I am sure that in my past teaching, I have said some things that were in error (but never intentionally). I was only being true to what I thought the Lord had shown me, and He honored my faith in sharing. I always trusted that anything I said in error would be forgotten or not take root. I even prayed this.
Joyce, as I am, is a Christian sister who is in progress. And the Holy Spirit will take care of what she misunderstands and teaches even if incorrectly. And will continue leading every person who belongs to Christ into the truth.
I admire her faithfulness to what she believes. And can only ask myself, am I doing the same?
