I rather expect ISAC will only be To pleased to explain who paid for what.
I think some dam fool has shit and fell back in it.

Ya'll missed the point of the message, but its not your fault, as it was a continuation of a phone conversation the other night tween myself and one who wishes to remain anonymous.
I find people use my faith against me in two ways. As this person has, to try and make me meek and mild and passive in the face of attack; Or, to poke fun at the poor fool for Christ.
But to be fair, the 'be silent' thing is not what ya'll took it to be. Probably more of a warning than a threat (It can be hard to tell the difference)and as I said, it came from a conversation I had had with the poster. It was like this; I had tried to explain the emotional turmoil I have been in; specifically with regard to a recent attack on me on this forum. I was puzzled and hurt by it. I had been (IMO) very patient in the face of some very confusing stubbornness. I had posted thoughts and opinions that were in opposition to the opinions and desires of my new found adversary (and one time friend) but it was no secrete to her what I thought and felt about it. I wasn't being sneaky, harassing her, or anyone. So, when she hit the board posing as some ignorant new comer, and trying to provoke me, I was hurt and angry.
I was telling this other party (who wishes to remain anonymous)of this, and about my trying to decide what, if anything, to do. I explained how while in a state of confusion, I had flipped open my Bible and my eyes fell on the words, "And Jesus was Silent."
And so, I took that as a sign to be silent - at least for a while.
What I hadn't explained, as I didn't get a chance, was that I also had another problem I was in search of guidance on. A personal and heartbreaking problem unassociated with all this crap. I was getting a lot of advice to Do something - make phone calls - report things. I was deeply troubled by all this. This was actually my most pressing dilemma. I took those words, "and Jesus was silent" as the answer to that problem as well. As things have progressed, I now feel it was very good advice and I am most grateful to my Lord for His counsel.
As for remaining silent on Fornits - After a couple of days, a reply came to me that seemed good and fitting and so I spoke up.
So far, I still feel lead to speak up.
Last night, while in a state of hurt confusion, I once again opened my Bible and my eyes fell on these words:
And He hath raised up an horn of salvation for us out of the house of David:
As He spoke by the mouth of His Holy Prophets, which have been since the world began:
That we should be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all that hate us.
To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember His Holy covenant, the oath which He swore to our father Abraham:
That He would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, might serve Him with out fear.
From The proclamation of Zacharais, at John the Baptist's birth.
