Hey there everyone. I would like to publicly apologize for responding to an insult with an insult. I wont do it again, I let my flesh get the best of me, instead of responding with the Spirit.
When it comes to physical violence, I view self-defense as justified, but when dealing with just verbal insults it is not justified to respond to an insult with a worse insult. @Jeremiah33v3 I will apologize to you for that. I hope you also stop and revaluate how you talk to people, and that we can be reconciled even if we disagree on dispensationalism.

Not only that but if I have hurt anyone with my comments I am sorry for it, I will try to be more polite in the future. I will not back down from what I believe to be truth, but there is a way to speak truth without being condescending or mean, especially towards other Christians.

The Bible says: "and begins to beat his fellow servants and eats and drinks with drunkards, " I feel like even though this is an online forum, berating one another here is similar to beating your fellow servants. Not very good. Heretics are a different matter but we really don't know each other in real life well enough to call each other that.

It takes a lot of guts to admit your mistake especially publically I respect you for that. Also I think @Jeremiah33v3 was banned

from me to you Brother, Thank you, true repentance is in you, the seeing. to change and love all. Amazing grace you are seeing wow!
Me in this thinking too, to not accuse or excuse, to stand in belief to God for this love and mercy given through Son to us all. We each are learning and discerning. Remembering daily I am dead to sin by Son that is risen for me too.
