Can We Really Exercise Free Will?

[Kainos]

I certainly did not experience that with him. As a newcomer he criticized me endlessly, and then groundlessly falsely accused me of a number of things. He also lied to me about writing in his cryptic chat speak and odd abbreviations while discussing Scripture.

I can only ascertain what I have, from what I have seen. A man with a predilection for accord over dissent, covering more than one topic.

So sorry to hear that precious friend, it hasn't been my experience but know you wouldn't lie about these things. Hope it was just crossed lines or something and can be cleared up.

Made me smile, crossed posts and crossed lines by the look of it, which hopefully can be sorted out.

Predilection for accord was grossly lacking in his exchanges with me is all I'm saying, and you did not see it because you were not a member then. After his string of false accusations, which were outright lies, I put him on ignore, but have recently removed that. Still, there is not much point in my reading his posts, since his ridiculous abbreviations and interjections of strange words make it just about like reading a foreign language... even though he told me he would stop doing that.

His string of deliberate lies and false accusations could hardly be called crossed lines and I have seen zero evidence that he wishes to clear this up or take responsibility for his reprehensible behaviour. It is one thing to have a misunderstanding but for someone to come along and just outright tell a string of wicked falsehoods about you is another.

Ooh, our posting similar messages at the same time made me smile Kainos. Hopefully, the other crossed lines can be sorted as easily but i personally loathe snarkiness and spite, which there has been a fair bit of on this post.

If any individual gleans one thing from their interactions with you, I hope your readiness to find consensus would be it. You're more than just a learned man.

Well, I am a learning man, but barely keeping ahead of forgetting at this stage.

Are you interested in fellowshipping around a study of Ephesians on that thread?

That's upsetting for sure friend and you do seem pretty hurt. However, i've found GWH to be a good, smart bloke and can't say otherwise, so hope there's just been crossed lines which can be sorted out.

 

[GWH]

GWH is a lovely courteous guy Kainos but there are a few here who enjoy winding people up. Genez and sawdust have been spiteful to quite a few people on this post, that isn't what i created it for.

Thanks LLL! Would you also want to participate in a study of Ephesians on that thread?

Magenta,

I noticed you saying that, and I VERY much wish to clear this up or uncross this line!
(I thought you were ignoring me.)
Please quote me saying a lie or false accusation or other reprehensible behavior, so I can respond specifically,
or at least state your paraphrase of what you think you remember me saying.
Thanks!

Read the opening of your testimony, it's heartbreaking. Copying it to read offline, will reply to it soon, God's blessings and love and hugs from me for now.

Well hopefully it will be of some help to you somehow I made the testimony to give hope to others

You are two of the people i really like and respect on this forum GWH, and doh! I keep saying crossed lines when i think the problem is probably crossed wires. So hope lines haven't actually been crossed yet and won't be, misunderstandings are so easy through text.

Oh it will, survivors such as yourself are often so inspirational, love and hugs.

I don't doubt your grievance. You have the aura of an empath, a sensitive soul, so the inclination for forgiveness is likely inherent to your nature, as well as your faith.

See the same friend, she really feels hurt. Thing is it's much easier for misunderstandings to occur through text, much harder to sort them out too.
You just don't get the immediate impressions/feedback available through physical discussion. if i'm unsure about something said in text chat, i ask for more information, it's so sad if troubling misunderstandings fester.

I'm hard pressed for time at the moment, but I do appreciate the invite.
