Short Saturday Bullets: Honest to a fault?

Short Saturday Bullets: Honest to a fault?

• Photo from Cousin Buff estate, last evening.

• I was a groomsman at his wedding.

• My good friend, Cousin Buff, cousin of another good friend, Bobby Buff, stated last night (paraphrased), that I am a man that states the truth, even when it is uncomfortable. 

 • I would suggest that I can be honest, perhaps to a fault at times.

• Miss CIA, states that I am 'brutally honest'.

• I prayerfully attempt to love my neighbour as myself (Matthew 22, Mark, 12, Luke 10, Galatians 5).

• I prayerfully attempt to love those in the Church, Gospel of John 13, 15, 1 John, as examples).

• Galatians 5:14 “For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” King James Version (KJV)\

• I prayerfully seek truth.

• Philosophically, I could argue much more online, but I decline. Years ago, Deeaann, now in Winnipeg with the family, asked me if I would like to write an attack blog. 


• This section cited from that article, edited...

• There is also of course the Biblical mandate as noted many times on my websites to love one's neighbour, meaning others as much as self, as in Matthew 22, Mark 12, Luke 10 and reasonably as a theologian and philosopher of religion.

• Biblically, I cannot see this being accomplished by attacking persons, Christian or non-Christian via my writing efforts. 

• Romans 13: 8 notes that he who loves his neighbour has fulfilled the law. 

• This same friend basically stated that I am debating theology everyday, which is in a sense true, at least I am debating it in my head everyday by doing the work.

• Avoiding an attack website concept in no way means that I am avoiding the Biblical command to accurately handle the word of God as in 2 Timothy 2:15 and being able to give a defence for the hope that is in us as 1 Peter 3: 15 states. 

• I am open to the concept of within reason debating and more likely discussing issues. 

• Debating is fine and can be very good in its place, but I seek this in a spirit of love and truth not in a spirit of attack that would be sinful or in animosity.
