Dearest Celtic... peace to you, still!Okay, let's have a look -You asked:
Oh I am am I, and how might that be...
In answer, I quote you again, wherein you said/asked:Whats the point of all this suffering, its not our problem down here is it?
Your question "its not our problem down here, is it?" implies that it is SOMEONE'S "problem", and, therefore, someone's fault. Since you have only mentioned "us" (i.e., not "our" problem), and Him... and you indicate "not" with regard to "us", you are implying that it is HIS "problem". And implying that it is HIS problem, you are also implying, then, that it is His fault... and, therefore, He is to blame. Now, I now know that you may not have MEANT to imply that, did not INTEND to, but based on what you SAID... you did. Sorry.oh I forgot, you were compelled to write your answer compelled from a voice in your head, ummmmmmm I worry for you my friend in making these judgements.
No, the 'voice'... is in my HEART. It is there that I 'hear' it. So... not to worry.Listen, from one idiot to another...
Ouch! That hurt, for I consider neither one of us idiots. It is simply that one of us (you) is misinformed/misled, and the other (me) is simply trying to do what anyone else who loved such one would do... redirect. That's it; that's all.the question was nothing to do with blame
Well, no, not all of them did, no. It appears that one did, however. But, well, as I said, perhaps I misunderstood.it was a question from a questioning mind that is all. Nowt else.
Cool! May I ask then, why when one asks a question and as a result one receives an ANSWER (the solicitation of which one implies when asking a question, unless one makes a disclaimer that such question is rhetorical...), does one wish to be offended?If the 'tone' or 'manner' of my answer offended, I SINCERELY apologize and digress... in sackcloth and ashes. However, there was not disclaimer as to how any answer should be formatted, and, therefore, I simply spoke... as I heard.And Aguest, since you don't know me at all, how do you know me better than I know myself?
You are correct: I do not know you at all. However, there is One that knows both you... AND me... and yes, better than we know ourselves. Indeed.Live up to the peace your proclaiming but don't ram your opinion down my throat k.
Okay. Again, I apologize and digress... in sackcloth and ashes... for offending you... by speaking the truth. It was not MY intention to "ram" anything anywhere. But, we both now know that intentions can be misunderstood, yes?Peace
Of course... and I receive it joyfully! May you, too, have peace!Your servant and a slave of Christ,SJ
