But OK, let us leave it be...Hey DS: Just a little advise, you will not do well in a bible discussion if you chose to change the scriptures so as to make your point seem better. Paul did not say of Alexander the coppersmith that, the Lord WILL repay him according to his deeds. By adding the WILL you tried to make it appear that Paul was simply speaking of the final judgment. Not good to change the intentions of the word of God. Paul said of Alexander the coppersmith, he did ME much evil, the Lord reward him according to his works. Does that sound like Paul forgave the guy or does that sound like Paul requested of the Lord that Alexander be rewarded for his evil deeds? We are to practice forgiving people, that means not taking revenge ourselves, however vengeance itself is just and something that God practices.

And ignore the rest?
Yeah, really. You just like to be above everyone else. Even there. A little pat on your own back for not being "excessive."
If you don't feel like reading lengthy post, then, by all means, don't. But then don't make it into your personal Storm Norman posts to potshot everyone when you offer nothing.
