This is what I have come to believe, Harold. I didn't know that you agreed. Actually, I was hoping for more input from everyone as to whether they see this exact point, or if they may see if I have misinterpreted that passage of Matthew. I plan on reading a little book by a guy named Ruckman about the two kingdoms, who each gospel is presented to in the word and get more clarity with it. I am so sorry you need a 'days' break from all humanity. I took my 3 little kids into a convenience store the other day, and the guy behind the counter was what you could only describe as abusive. I ultimately felt compassion for this angry man, and that could only come from the Spirit. I myself am naturally vindictive and hateful towards those who mistreat me. Praise Jesus, He must be operating in me! And He would never mistreat you, brother. God bless you and cover you from abuses we lay upon each other in this world. God enlarge your heart and heal you.
