Cheryl

Donna,
This forum is a place where I have chosen that the words spoken here will be with Christ-like respect and ones that honor truth. I would ask that you respect the intent of this blog. You said:

“Cheryl, I must point out something to you, and it causes me grief. You are sharing information that was sent to you in private. In doing that, you are casting aspersions on your sister, and betraying a confidence. You are doing a very clever job of editing to make yourself look good, and your sister look bad.

It seems to me that Kamilla exposed you, and you want to cover your nakedness with a fig leaf of hypocrisy.”

Truth is important and facts are part of that truth. I did not share any information that was sent to me in private. The fact is that Kamilla did not share any information with me let alone any private information. I set up this blog post so that she could share whatever she wanted in the safety of community. She chose not to do that. Donna, if you are going to come onto my blog and accuse me of sin, you will have to do that with facts. You have presented nothing to prove that I shared something that was private.

On the Bayly blog, I was told that I needed to understand the Trinity because apparently I didn’t know anything and there was a public request for someone to educate me. I set up this post for that “education” to happen. Are you now the one who will be “educating” me? Are you now the new representative of the Bayly’s who has come to correct my error?

I have done no editing yet of people’s comments, except for one egalitarian as I removed a word that came across as harsh. I haven’t even had time to read all of the comments here from yesterday or this morning but I trust that people have been respectful enough that I wouldn’t need to edit. Please show me the evidence that you have that I have edited something to make Kamilla look bad or that I have edited something to make myself look good. It is a godly thing to prove your accusations if indeed there is sin to be accounted for so that if I have sinned I can see my sin and repent.

If Kamilla has “exposed me” and my “nakedness” then it wasn’t here that she did this. Kamilla has refused to come here and speak the truth. I can understand why she might not want to do this. If there is nothing to say of value in private, then there is nothing to say in public either. I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. I have certainly done that and not every blog owner would take the time to invite the other side to speak without censorship except what is required – respect and no personal attack.

I believe that it is time that we expose the attempt to put Jesus into a position that is less than the position of the Father. When we place one person of the Trinity as “more” of anything than the Son, we have dishonored the Son. The Father is not the only Supreme in the Trinity. The Father is not the only one who gets the highest honor as some have written. All honor is shared and all glory is share by the equal members of the Trinity. I think the quote that was given from Grudem reveals the level that some have gone to, to put Jesus down. When Jesus is put into any kind of a lesser role, the next step is to pull God down to our level. Indeed God is pulled down to even below us when it can be said that God is our subordinate when he helps us. When we can read that kind of thing and not weep internally for the state that the church has been pulled down to, then perhaps we are naked and without spiritual eyesight. We need to buy from Jesus that white robe to cover our nakedness and we need to ask him to give us eyes that see. God help us!
