My understanding of the Lord's Supper works like this, so there." Look, I am not being hateful or sarcastic, it just comes across this way at times. | Quote:

I would ask that if this is a source of contention that will influence you to react defensively, you may want to stay away from the thread, or give several minutes of thought before posting a response. I mean that with the utmost sincerity and Christian charity. | Yes it is open to discussion. It is odd you singled me out, I gave a sober well reasoned answer. But, hey, Josh does not agree therefore I am wrong! Josh of course is never wrong. SECOND: Josh jumped down my throat about my post where I state "Does it matter?" HE READ IT OUT OF CONTEXT! When I said "Does it matter?" I was NOT speaking about the Sacraments! I was refusing to name names of those who did not agree with me! I was trying to keep t from dropping to a personal level. Josh, given that you took me out of context, and then said that I have nothing worthwhile to say, therefore say nothing. Honestly was singled out for this humiliation. Josh. I feel you should delete your Post on this and make an open apology to me. Pax | If I may speak on behalf of Joshua, I think what he meant was, if you are going to accuse some of us of an apathetic attitude toward those, like yourself, who "have medical problems or other issues", then you better tell us who we are.
