Jessi,
More than anyone else, I have had mountains of arguments with you on the TMB. It seems we have a mutal antagonism which I suspect arises from having similar personalities in some ways (you might disagree with this; but I often see myself in your posts).
However, as Christians, we owe it to our respective churches, and most of all to the Lord Jesus, to show love to each other, to forgive, and to be friendly. We owe it to God to aim for a higher morality that supercedes our individual pride (which Zorro adroitly pointed out recently).
I have already forgiven you freely for the hurt you have caused ME, and now I say this to YOU:
I'm sorry. I have hurt you.
I confess to you that I have many times consciously and deliberately set out to rile, upset, and attack you. I confess there have been times your posts have thrown me into a rage of temper - and I have lashed out without much cause.
Please, will you forgive me my trespasses?
It is my sincere desire to build a more positive relationship with you in the future. Can we do this together?
(Extending the hand of fellowship to you), Peace and love.

You and Jessi are polar opposites.
You will never get along.
Heaven itself will have to be divided to accommodate you both.
Deal with it.

I'm a Christian, and I believe that Jesus Christ has the power to heal rifts and bring unity even over great divides. I believe in the power of the Holy Spirit, that works in willing hearts, to bring peace - like the dove descending onto the Lord.
Your words are - forgive me, friend - the expression of doubt. But I believe that miracles can happen through God.
I want to reconcile with Jessi. And I'm sure Jessi wants this too.

Don't mean to be picking at you, GIT, as I like your posts (admittedly, I do skim ) but just a quick question...since this involves really only you and Jessi...why not just PM her instead of the thread? I don't mind what you do either way, of course...just curiousity really! Mich

I don't mind what you do either way, of course...just curiousity really! MichI love you to bits, Mich. I love your attitude and admire your kindness to everyone. My words to Jessi were public. My confession will be public as well. To me, it's just that simple.

Don't be friends with the world. GIT, you need to repent of you sins. Brad

Thanks, GiT. I am not hurt . . . but you are forgiven--as you have need. I’m sorry for my part in aggravating you.
Unfortunately, I cannot “make friends with you” in the sense that I join with you in any way or share your beliefs, especially concerning the F&W group, which has its roots in heresy, which group you continue to defend.
I love you as a person into whom God breathed life and want to help you see that a one true church, or even a “truest church on earth” is part of a false gospel.
There is no other name but Jesus Christ who can save (Acts 4:12), and no group who usurps the titles of Jesus and uses His Names to promote false ideas about Who He is – can be a church with Christ as its Head.. There is only One Way, and that is Jesus Christ Himself – Alone, Who is Almighty God (Is 9:6).
Christ’s Forever,
Jessi
