[Forgiven] Brother mike:
I am sorry if I offended you,  that was NOT my intention.  Just the
little I have talked to you has made me admire your zeal!  I was 
telling
our young people about you the other day... I wish some of them had 
your
burden for the lost.

So If I hurt you Im sorry.... OK?

Bro. Mike

ME:
Thank you for apologizing Brother Mike.  I'm glad to hear that your 
point wasn't to attack me but to edify me.  Now that I look back, if 
I had explained what and why I was watching, you wouldn't have had a 
reason to question my motives.  I just wasn't thinking that far ahead.
  Sometimes on email it is hard to read people's expressions and 
motives.  And, for those who think I was attacking brother mike, I 
tottally agreed with his point, but just not his application to me.  
1) I don't personally watch TV and brother mike knew that.  So, when 
he saw that I was watching TV, he questioned why, for MY sake. I 
don't think he wasn't condemning anyone else who watches TV, but was 
worried that I might be slipping in my own standards.  Rest assured, 
I wasn't.  2) I don't believe or like to listen to false doctrine.  
And when I can aviod it (say, on the radio/TV) I take every chance.  
However, no one can debate that everyday we are surrounded by the 
world and false doctrine, so it is our job to educate ourselves and 
others about being defensive and offensive on the side of Christ and 
the Apostles.  God bless you all (yes, even those with TV's LOL =>)

I affirm the biblical foundation for a relationship with God: We are 
to turn away from doing wrong, be baptized in the name of Jesus in 
accordance with scriptural examples, receive the marvelous gift of 
the Holy Spirit, and embrace a daily walk with Him. (See Acts 2:38)

God bless you and keep you in His wonderful grace!
