Sorry for not reading all the comments to this Blog first. I'm running short on time :-(
Here's my thought:
As we walk in His word and maintain the path of righteousness, I believe we are tested of our knowledge and strength. For our own spiritual growth. As long as we discern their motives, we can find inner peace that is sure to set an example.
I also wanted to mention that I've come across many mentally challenged Christians that mean well, but have been taught incorrectly how to love others. There are many associations such as OCD, ODD, ADHD, etc. I'm not saying this is the case, I'm just saying that perhaps, some of our fellow brothers and sisters are battling something we are incapable of understanding and we just have to see beyond it sometimes. It's not easy. And loving those who come against us is certainly not fun.
The great thing about having peace, is knowing yourself and your personal walk with the Lord. I don't think its our job to correct others or condemn them. But, that is my opinion. I believe there is enough division in this world as it is, and I don't believe that was God's initial intention. We are all created by Him. If my love for Him is eternal -- my love for everyone is. Including the ones that make absolutely no sense to me.
Also, I want to say what a wonderful inspiration you have been here to me, Reborn. Your words/wisdom have incorporated kindness in everything I've read. I admire that, and look forward to more of your posts.
