Jonathan,
I have had your post reviewed by a biblical expert relevant to your posting the christiandom verse of jesus saying,[...thearfore all things whatsoever you would want men to do to you, do you even to them, for this is the law and the prophets...].I asked him if that verse was a verse that could be applied to me because I wrote something that was a paraphrase in what I had no intention for the paraphrase to associated by someone as [misrepresentation]. I asked him if there was a jesus that would admonish me for doing so and would apply the verse in question to me. His answer was, [...not the jesus that I know, it must be a {different} jesus...]. The expert said that the verse is missaplied to me because the verse , according to the expert, is a positive verse to {do}, not a negative command. He went on and said that the poster in question that is applying the verse to my situation is saying that I should not have done something and that the verse in question means to him , as to the jesus that he knows, is misapplied for it means to him to do something positive, such as ,[...love your enemy...], or, [...pray for those that despitfully use you...], or,[...when you call attention to the speck in your brother's eye, look at the plank in your own eye...first remove the plank in your own eye, then you could see to remove the speck in your brother's eye...].
The the biblical expert said that there was no offense in the paraphrase that was gramaticcaly wrong, and if there was, the jesus that he knows was not [in the business] of correcting or admoshing people's grammer. He went on to saty that some of the writers in christiandom had to have others write for them , for they were not the best in grammer, and that there is no condemnation to those that write from what is in there heart, even if others try to make you believe that jesus is some type of [extreme legalist] that is recording all of your spelling mistakes, which he said hat the jesus that he knew was not. He went on to say that God looks at the heart of man, not what is on the outside and that people are told by his jesus not to make conclusions about what is in a person's heart, for he said that that is reserved for God to do.
