I do not wish to over-rate the importance of this exchange, and we all must move on, one way or another. But it’s sad to leave matters like this, when I have so often appreciated Awesumtenor’s posts.
WB, I’m sorry you have become something of a target because of me, - though I note you can defend yourself very ably, and we do not always agree. But in expressing sincere appreciation to WB on this point, I did not really mean to dismiss you, Awesumtenor, and I apologise for my slowness to understand. I never ever felt you were riding me ALL that hard (I very much doubt WB meant to imply that either). You make me feel like I’ve wounded a bear when I wasn’t even shooting that way. But thank you for explaining your intent. It is true I wished to leave the larger picture to the experts to sort through. That’s why I mentioned I was waiting also for the report from the White Estate. But out there in the churches even the humblest of our number have to decide upon priorities, and can still claim the promises of God for guidance in this endeavour. In my experience, I cannot but observe that the number (liberals or conservatives) who make their priority a study of the errors or supposed errors in the Bible and writings of Ellen White, often lose their way altogether, leave the faith, and become tangled in all sorts of terrible problems from which they could have been saved, if they had only respected and humbly submitted to the inspired counsels. |

This is a terrific response Brick. God is obviously guiding you and you are obviously listening and obedient. God bless you. -------------------- Thess. 2:16-17 - Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work."

It used to be, messages that were given by our pioneers were wrenched from the depths of the heart by the Holy Spirit. Humor was not added to get that laugh of entertainment. Drama was not introduced behind the sacred desk to glue your attention. Man's Rationale has replaced a cry for God's wisdom."
