Emile, <<<. For the glory of Christ and for the good of haqi, we must forgive him. Think of the suffering of Christ. He endured the hatred, slander and ridicule of those he loved even while He died for their sins on the cross.When he was falsely accused, he often did not answer. How much more should we endure the abuses of men for a season if we are to glorify God and edify men. How often I forget or neglect these words. We are very weak vessels.>>> Are you saying that you are like Jesus because someone sees your errors and disagrees with you? Jesus was totally innocent and you are NOT. Nancy

EV, Your words are much different of this thread, than the vicious ones you flung at me on the Kosovo thread some time ago. I had a different alias at that time but, when I moved from the Coffee Shop to SI, they would not let me use the former name. Maybe, you can pull the wool over the eyes of those that agree with your fanaticism, but not mine. ~H~
