Must stop…
This is going to sound like I’m looking for an easy escape from explaining myself on the ideas I present, but I really hafta stop trying to come back against every argument presented against my own arguments. It ends up putting me right back where I’ve been trying to get away from which is argument and debate to prove myself. This is not to say your responses have not been very welcome, they have helped me grow a considerable amount, even if I disagree with you on some issues. I got convicted by my Dad and Kevin on this over the past two days or so. Please don’t stop responding. Just know that unless you ask for specific clarification, I can’t keep arguing against or debating with you over everything. I hope I can say clearly what I man so that it isn’t needed, but I know that the language we speak can be taken different ways to the degree that we need to engage in cultural translation of sorts. But I’m being self-defeating and prideful/unwilling to learn by arguing what I say. This is supposed to be a journal of sorts and I need to keep it as that.
Please don’t leave. Keep reading and responding as always.
Much love, Lukas.
Sir Luke,
Thank you for your humble and gracious resonse. We can debate til we are blue in the face. As believers we need to please God with our debate and that can be best done through gentlessness and respect. Thank you for putting your thoughts down and inviting me to comment. I count it an honor to serve our Savior with you my dear friend!
Finish the semester strongand with excellence!
