Lewis,
Not sure why I chose this post to attach this message to, but nevertheless here it is.
I have had a nagging at me for a LONG LONG time. It is something that I MUST clear up now.
We all remember that past lock horns battle with the one who calls himself elect, Brian Valentine. Since that time through various sources, I have learned that several were hurt by our conversations and actions.
For the past few weeks, from time to time, I have dropped into where Valentine's hangs out, and goaded him. The purpose for the goading, was to make him see that he and I have hurt people, and needed to come back here and apologize and ask forgiveness. I used names such as "the non-elected one" , and probably some worse than that. I ask God's forgiveness for the name calling, although God may deal with me harshly as I have not asked Valentines foregiveness to and am somewhat hard to that.
To shorten the story, after several private posts to and from him today(4-28), I had decided to come here and tell everyone that Valentine had told me that he was sorry for what he had done, but I could not do it. A lie on top of everything else is not going to help and that is NOT what he said. In fact here was his last PM to me.

Do not apologize!!!
I do not authorize you to apologize for me at all.
If you apologize you will be a false witness!
Take a hike-- your not of me or my spirit at all.
So I am here to apologize. I apologize for any escalation of the war on words and ask forgiveness, and as a Christian, I also apologize for any harm done by me or Brian Valentine in word or deed, and do not judge all these fine Christians by these actions.
PLEASE do not respond to this post. If you choose to speak to me, post me at my private mail here on SI.
Thank you
