Unfortunately I know or know of a few people who fit this description. Their books are really good, too…Verity wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2024 8:19 am There was a man who lived in a dream world. He believed he was respected, admired and very wise. He wrote many papers and books, spoke with what he believed was convincing power and raised a very large family. It puzzled him somewhat that his offspring did not care to spend much time with him, but he busied himself with more writing and dreaming. It angered him when people pointed out his errors, but he wrote them off as jealous or ignorant.
In reality, he was either pitied or despised. There were a handful of people who did indeed appreciate his writing, yet none who knew him personally. Those close to him found him a challenge to relate to. Some continued to argue, pointing out his faulty reasoning and inconsistencies. Others smiled and moved on, letting his words fall to the dust where they did no harm. No one who knew him respected him.
He was his own worst enemy.

Is it biblical? Is it Christlike? Is it loving? Is it true? How can I find out?

Ultimately, the way to kill a thread is to stop posting. If you want to post emoticons and fight back and forth, here is mine.
