Thanks Abishag for your sound post once again and also for your earlier very kind comments and backing that I found very uplifting and supportive.

You will note (and have noted), that even with quote and verse backing up statements, some people will never cease to argue for one reason or another. It wouldn't matter what was done or said I assure you. They'd be complaints and nit picking in any possible area they could find. Real or imagined (confused or misrepresented), whichever serves the purpose. I don't believe such people really want answers, I think they are looking to confirm themselves in ongoing criticism of other Christians and will never be satisifed with any answer given. In fact, in my experience, they usually wear you out and seek to have the last word, and in the end, often do. Feeding them quote and verse, even when requested, such people will still not be satiated. I brought up quote and verse because other aspects were brought into this argument. I'm finding now, that the person in question wishes to change gears a little and overlook that and get back to the "why have christians done this" or "why have Christians not done that" etc etc etc and on it goes. Believe me, you won't find such people admitting the many wonderful things Christians have done throughout the ages and continue to do to this day (charity organisations etc). Notice that this is ignored and rather fault finding is preferred at all costs? I cannot help that. Again, if such individuals feel the need to do this, they may find it more beneficial to work on themselves first.

God's word speaks volumes and perhaps such people would do well to ask Him and pray about any concerns and spend more time in His word, rather than sitting on here picking? I repeat, either one falls in line with the flawed view of the world, or they fall in line with God's word and live their own personal lives accordingly. Failures are expected, since we're human.

God said "if you love me, keep my commandments". Can any of us say we're doing this? I've failed, and there is always room for improvement. That's pretty much all I feel the need to say on the matter, since nobody says it better than God anyway. Those who find fault, can take it up with Him.

God bless.
