> You wrote,[...I believe in Jesus Christ {Lou}. I believe that Jesus is the Christ...]
> Could you clarify why your post is directed toward me? If you could, then I could have a better understasnding of your post and be beter able to reply to it.Something you wrote to me in another response left me unsettled
("There is a great difference between [jesus] and [jesus christ]".)
and I had a desire and a need to clarify my belief. Since it is sacred, I symbolically tried to narrow it down to Lou, thinking it would lessen the chance for something as sacred as my deepest belief to be scoffed at or trampled. Perhaps it was more of a symbolic expression of my shyness for groups, and of my desire to protect the name of Jesus Christ. I am a defender of Christ and these boards are not safe.
> Could you also clarify why your statement that [...Jesus is the Christ..] is also posted here? If you could, then I could have a better understanding of why you are posting your post to [me] and, perhaps, not to the whole community here.
> LouI trust you Lou. You believe in God. I accept your Rider experiance as your personal safety net. But, maybe deeper than I can even recognize myself, I have a desire to connect your Rider to Christ in an experience. In my mind, whenever I read one of your rider posts, it connects. That's why I sometimes post the actual New Testament scripture that coincides with your experiance.
My mind is not your mind. My thoughts are not your thoughts. I have expressed my testimony to a board friend, not to be disputed or argued, but to be accepted as my belief, and dropped Lou.
There is nothing about it that requires analyzing. I have stated it clearly. If the whole community reads it, of course everything that is written on these boards is open to the whole community. You are speaking of a matter of board ettiquette, which I don't entirely get yet. Maybe.
