2008 begins. In fact from where I sit the sun is going down on it.
An interesting thing has been going on the past few days. I watched a youtube video for the trailer for the movie "For The Bible Tells Me So", which I have yet to see, and following it there was a video responce from a minister to it.
Well the movie does nothing to enlighten this man. He is fire and brimstone and his brother lost his life to Aids at the age of 28, it was really a sad situation. I felt a need to post a responce to him, as others had, and told him I was sorry about his brother, sorry he felt the way he did and that I didn;t expect to change his mind, but I wished him peace anyway.
That has resulted in a back and forth tug of war that got to be a bit unnerving. You know the drill, I am rejecting the will of God for my own will and I am going to hell and I was not born this way. I have tried responding to him in a positive manner but not taking any crap. I told him I forgave him for passing judgement on me, and of course he don't need any of my phoney forgiveness.
The exchange seems to have run its course, but it has left me realizing that outside of this comfort zone I have here, part of an ever expanding one, there are still people out there who hate me. I can wear a poly- cotton blend when I debate them and they will never pick up on it. They choose to hate me and use the Bible as their ammunition.
His responses are here:
He has deleted what I and others said to him.
I will pray for him. Happy New Year, let the work begin. ;)

Hard to find a shred of love in any of those responses. He sounds pretty bitter. I wish he'd left your posts.
