If you don't have a problem with reconciliation, why do you refuse to
reconcile with me ? You have repeatedly stated that "reconciliation",
to you, is giving up your faith / adding doctrine, when Scripture
itself teaches that reconciliation is about seeking to live in *right
relationship* with God and those around you.
It is for this reason Jesus Himself taught:
"Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there
remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift
there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your
brother; then come and offer your gift." Matthew 5:23,24
I still fail to see how suggesting reconciliation is *gossip*, when
Scripture talks of reconciliation as a GOOD THING which honours God.
Your idea of reconciliation is *nothing* like what is seen in
Scripture, Vera.

And your testimony falls short because, on the one hand, you say you
have no problem with reconciliation, and yet on the other, refuse to
reconcile with those who wish to reconcile with you.
