Rebuked me?

You mean you got pissed at me.! Just say it man. That is what happened.!
And I certainly did feel rebuked....!!! I kew you were pissed at me.! But that is all I felt!!

Come on brian. Paul Rebuked! Jesus Rebuked! Why do you continue to use such language?....It just ain't right!
When I think back on how I also used such language...I ask God to forgive me....Or something...Our fellow human beings can't relate...(Sh*t I can't even relate)..We have got to talk to them straight up...in their own language. Whoever we are talking with....We are one of them.!...Or... maybe you do not think so.! But think so or not...We Are!!

We are not better...not by a long shot. Why can't you see that? Maybe in some measure we are worse ...because we pretend to know more...and to some degree...a very small degree maybe we do. Therefore more...much more is expected of us. And we sin too...lots!!! More love, much more love, more compassion, more understanding, more forgiveness.... is expected of us.

Love to be expressed in ways that our friends and families can understand....and yes even our enemies....whoever they are.... And to them maybe the most love. And not the kind of love you profess Brian...that's not really love. As much as I know that you mean well....I really don't feel love in your posts...not one bit! And that is to your shame. And if I know you mean well and yet cannot feel the love of your words...then how is a stranger ever going to feel any warmth?

The only reason I even continue to post to you or even bother reading your posts....is because I know you mean well...But Brian You come off as being so damn cold. So detached, so matter of fact...so uncaring!! And you don't have to tell me about the hypocrites who sit in the pews and sing praises to God...I know all too well of them too....and I am sure your brother did also!! But you Brian are the other extreme. One difference between you and them...at least for awhile, a person might feel loved while speaking to a pew warmer......that is not true of you....You are so very cold..so very cold.

Brian, do you have any idea of the pain and torture your brother was feeling? Pain Brian! Real Pain! Do you have any idea what was really in his heart those last few hours, minutes, seconds, before he checked out of here...before he saw the face of God? Do you Brian?....I bet not!! have you even tried to? I bet not!! Because if you had maybe for just one minute...you might have at least shed a tear for him!!!! Just one!! He deserves at least that much Brian. Just try to imagine for one lousy minute....just one Brian, what he must have suffered! And yes Brian he suffered. He was so damn lost he was drowning in his own insurmountable pain. He saw no other way out of it. I bet he even saw God and all his glory in his kingdom in that paradise with streets of gold...and maybe just maybe Brian... he even saw God beckon him to the other side. Because maybe God knew your brotherds soul was just to damn fragile for this world.Maybe your brother knew God loved him and maybe it was the only love your brother was sure of.

Please take some time Brian and reflect on your brother and his soul that was loved by God.....I know that even God shed a tear for him, maybe a lot of tears... because he was loved....because God is love. PERIOD!!

Brian also please answer the questions I aksed of your brother. I would like to know. I really am interested.

Thank you
Shalom
Brian in revelation there is, under the altar of God, a vessel where God keeps the tears of the saints....at least your brother had them!
