Re: Wow what a mess (edit)

Grace, like I said the other day, I have nothing against you personally, and I truly mean that. You have been nothing but kind since being here. I am ashamed I have not been so nice.

I don't remember calling Bill Johnson a false prophet (in your message above this one). Are you sure I said that? I'm not denying I did, I just don't remember, and if I did, I am sorry. I do remember saying he had some false teachings and that is because I read some of the things he teaches, and I found them to be false based on what I believe the bible says. I know we all interpret things different from the bible, but based on how I have interpreted certain things, I found some of his teachings false. But of course, any minister put under the test of the bible, could probably be charged with some false teachings.

So to be fair, you are right, I do not know a whole lot about Bill Johnson. What I do know more about is the Word of Faith movement, which he is considered a part of. I despise the Word of Faith movement, but I don't mean that to be anything personally against you. I hated it long before I met you on here. You can find my past rantings about it in the archives.

I wish we could all come together despite our difference too, but Grace, I just don't know how to do that. Refreshed and I discussed this from the very beginning of the forum because we both knew we had our differences. We said we'll just see how it goes. Well, three years later, and I can tell you, it didn't go well. Oh at times there was peace. At times, it felt like our friendship was deepening and growing. But then our differences came in again and now here we are, and it isn't pretty.
Friendships are fragile.

I do want to grow. I do want to change. I do want my relationship with Jesus to be more awesome than it's ever been. But I find when I'm trying to be in relationships where I'm being judged and I'm being looked down upon, it's a stumbling block to me. And I'm sad to think I've been that same stumbling block to someone else. I'm not referring to you here at all, unless it's to mean I've been that stumbling block to you.

Thank you for your kind words once again! May we all grow in grace and truth!
