>>You seem somewhat confused as usual.
>Really. How so? Please qualify your suggestion. Perhaps I’m not confused, but rather you are not clear in what you are trying to say.
>>I'm sure about one thing though. You don't fess up to your sins too well. AJ you have committed sins against all of those people but you are holding them to higher standards.
>I'm not holding them to any standard. I'm asking you to hold them to the same standard of accountability to which you hold me. When it comes to "sin" on this forum, your friends fit the criteria you propose far better than I.
>>You need to take it all back and give apologies go everyone.
>A blanket apology would not suffice in this instance from any party. It would be too small. That is why I have asked people to e-mail me so that we can discuss these differences, mend some fences and build the bridges between us. Reaching out to others is far better than closing doors on them, no?
>>Because I am a real Christian
>Me too. That obviously troubles you though. I can see that.
> >I have to tell you that if you want to claim the name, you have to accept the responsibility.
>Thankfully you are not the authority on this subject to which I yield. Nor are you the authority to make that judgement.
> >None of them have made any claims here about their beliefs until you brought it up.
>Not at all. Jim has made many references to his beliefs. To the point where even those that share his views on circumcision are suggesting he has a “personality disorder” and is “rude and aggressive”. Indeed at the other forum requests have been made to ban him and/or the subject of religion because he is so unruly and relentless in his views while not allowing for those of others – kind of like you.
>Oh, btw, my name is not AJ. That is merely the alias I use online. Only a fool would not think that you either a regular contributor here or at fathermag and are using an alias different for each forum. Is that not the case? Of course I don’t expect you to answer the question because you seem to have trouble committing to answer a question out right.Oh matey, I'm afraid that if you don't understand my message that it might be true what some have said about you. That is sad.
You still aren't understanding that this is about you and not the others. You brought up the subject of beliefs and nobody else did. I have found no reference to anyone else talking about the suject except your chimp friend. This is not another forum matey so you have to go by what is said here and not somewhere else.
Yes I troubled by your claims because you have just come up with that. Is this a new committment? Old or new you would have no problem in apologizing to everyone you have hurt for you would understand repentence and forgiveness. Your original question that started this topic asked about forgiveness and you were trying to point a finger. Now look and see now many fingers are pointing right back at you when you point that finger at others. Are you surprised?
Now if you really want to know about forgiveness start with admitting that you were wrong to sin against the others. Ask them to forgive you and mean it. Then you will have the right to claim what you have. Until then matey it looks like you are just a big fake.
No matey I don't use an alias. Don't have to because I just sit here in the background and watch. I'm doing some research here so I don't want to muddy up the waters by planting unwanted thought in the heads of those I'm listening to. But when you got out of kilter there by starting something that you couldn't finish and doing it by using the Lord's name in vain, I just had to tell you that you're itching for big trouble doing that sort of thing.
Now get busy and start apologizing to the good people here. You've insulted almost everyone here in your phony way of acting like youre a nice person. You ain't very nice matey but you can make amends before its too late. Now you go and have a real nice day matey.
