Mercy — not sacrifice
(2 Peter 3:16) speaking about these things as he does also in all [his] letters. In them, however, are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unsteady are twisting, as [they do] also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.
Paul was writing under inspiration when he wrote those words that were “hard to understand”.
He, far the better writer who had the additional advantage of writing under inspiration through the holy spirit, found his words misunderstood in some cases and willfully twisted in others. The same has happened for many other portions of the Bible. So I am not surprised that my inelegant writing met with misunderstanding. Writing is an art and a craft and I have not mastered it yet. Words I wrote were, indeed, “hard to understand” through no fault of the reader.
So, I want to apologize to any who found offense in some of my previous writings. None was intended and essentially all of the previous postings have been deleted.
