Hey, you nobody can force anything on you with a measly email.

Who appointed you God? To me it appears like brothers involved a peaceful
in-depth discussion.

Adam, for most of my Christian life I believed as Ross does. I wasn't
anathema then, nor am I now. 

I suggest that you are the one who needs to repent of a proud, scornful

bare their hearts without getting bashed.
