A lot of us come on here initially at SI and spend a lot of time making people upset at us. Why? Well, there could be several reasons. Many times it's because we may not be prolific writers, and so our words are misunderstood. As well, many times we do not season our words with enough grace, mercy and love. Also, some come here as self appointed prophets, thinking that we are Elijah and John the Baptist combined into one... and we set forth to tell everyone here to get right with God.I have not read any of your postings, so I am not referring to you or anything you've written. In fact, I would say I am writing from experience.It takes a little time to find one's place in this forum. I hit quite a number of guard rails when I first started here, but after awhile I learned how to navigate the road better. And I know some others have done the same.There is nothing wrong with speaking the plain truth, and earnestly contending for the faith... and sometimes we will offend some. But the question is... did WE offend them, or did the truth of God offend them? Thats the part you have to figure out. If we offend them, then we're probably operating in the flesh. If God's truth offended them... so be it. No apology needed.Just some friendly advice from someone who has learned to walk the journey with others on this forum.Krispy
