Why the drama, people?
May 24 2007
Last night was not what I would call pleasant. I got into a heated discussion with a friend (through e-mails. Ugh!) about cursing. I quoted Eph. 4:29 (duh). I was told that the word for "Unwholesome" actually meant something like "unnecessary." O...K...
First of all, the word "sapros" means "rotten." Despite the content of the discussion or the ::ahem:: interesting Biblical interpretations, what he did next was not called for. He said that I don't know how wrong I am and he will never speak to me again.
Why did I get dropped as a friend (after about four years) just for doing what the Bible says to do? He says he is a Christian, therefore I am supposed to watch out for him and call him out on things in love (which I did) and he is supposed to do the same for me. Persecution? Naw, not really. But it did indeed cause a lot of pain. YHWH made it better, though.
Pray for this boy.
He is angry at the world, and I happened to catch one of the fire balls he was flinging at everyone.

No matter how well done ... even constructive criticism is almost always met with resistance and defensiveness.
