I’ve got email
An email just received in response to this post:
“I am not out of my mind, most excellent Festus, but I utter words of sober truth”
It is extremely unfortunate that instead of your misleading caption above, You are out of your mind and frothing at the mouth with disingenuous pontifications to sabotage true Christian philosophy and action. You are a traitor when you “don’t give a crap” about the corrosion of God’s traditional moral marriage plan by the perversion of the gay crusade for equality for deviant sexual behavior. It is not about rights, it’s a gay plot to excuse their gross departure from sanity and morality which is clearly and emphatically condemned by God in Romans chapter 1.
Jerry Clifford, the word guru warrior for Jesus
Who are we to judge the world; that’s what I’m sick of. We should look to ourselves.
As Caral just commented:
I was reminded of what St Paul in 1Cor 5, starting at verse 12
For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? God will judge those outside.
Why do we continue to point the finger and judge the world according to the standards of God, when they’re not even Christians?
Finger wagging achieves nothing. We are to live the royal law of love, and folk will be attracted by this, and then we can call them to live Holy lives unto God, as we ourselves do.

Well at least you get emails which is more than I do …
But on a more serious note, this bit: “It is extremely unfortunate that instead of your misleading caption above, You are out of your mind and frothing at the mouth” is not to be taken seriously and instead viewed as quite ridiculous. Actually, if someone said that to me I’d probably laugh

The funny thing is Tim, is that I’m equally a bigot and a liberal according to my correspondence.
I’m having an identity crisis

I think you get it about right. Comments sometimes say more about the one commenting.

Thanks so much Sue, that means a lot.
I think folk feel that bloggers are supremely confident and assured in what they say, but that’s not the case. We’re finding our way as much as anyone else. Or at least I am

I have been thinking of you recently after a post in which you seemed to suggest your emotional/ mental health was a bit shaky at the moment. Do hope things are OK?

Thanks Sue, yes I’m little up and down right now, but hopefully not “out of my mind” as my detractor would assert!

Please do not let gratuitously unpleasant emails like the one to which you refer put you out webmaster. You really are a voice of sanity amongst many whose sanity, (and sense of courtesy) is less obvious!
You piqued my curiosity and I had a look at the ‘Word Guru”s blog. Hmmm… Not impressed would be an understatement.

Thanks Simian. He sent me a load of links in his email to his website….dear oh dear….I removed them from the post.
