My friend David, I completely agree with your over view of the Christian ideals that we all strive for. Unfortunately, many, myself being the worst offender, tend to allow the flesh to have dominance for a time when defending our beliefs against the non-believer, especially those that purposefully try to destroy any chances that this thread might offer to the non-believer that is honestly seeking answers to his or her spiritual needs. I know that Jesus was very adamant when throwing the moneychangers out from the temple grounds. This was the very action, in my opinion, that offended the religious Jewish leaders to the point of arresting Jesus. But, thanks to Him, it serves as an example to us today when dealing with those that would try to destroy His works. I know that I have often been wrong in my suppositions, but I do know this. I have the royal blood of a child of the King and as His child, He does not want me to be a doormat to those that seek to destroy His Word. I welcome any correction by you, my brother.
God bless you,
James
