Posted : 22 Jan, 2011 05:34 PM To WOMEN every where...I'm Sorry...Please forgive me! ***I am a man of friendship and fellowship, online seeking partners to serve in the work of God - to help the world become a better place. *** I have been blessed by God to meet many wonderful women online these last several years. For this I am truly grateful. As well, it has come to my attention there exist a major gap between men and women; unfortunately and partly due to men. Many men, my self included, have contributed to this gap leading to much of the mistrust many women exhibit toward us. Likewise, many men have aided the Adversary in bringing division between males and females, by not allowing mature fellowship between themselves and God. This spiritual dysfunction has in turn affected many aspects of the world, especially our role as Servant-Leaders. Because of this, a diminished view is what a lot of women have about manhood. Many do not see men as necessary, until necessary, treat us as property, as a means to an end or as something they can live without. A lot of women also want to dominate us or be our momma, and spend their lives competing against us till the day they die. As a result, it seems almost impossible to find a woman willing to trust men completely in the way God wants. While I understand much of this is due to some women who fail to trust God completely, I must also admit many men have done their share to aid this affect. We have offended our female counterparts with pride, arrogance, selfishness, love of materialism & money, self-righteousness and more. I especially am ashamed at how men created the dependency of religious tradition, which unfortunately plagues many women in the world. As well, many men have treated women as objects of desire and lust, rather than partners of social responsibility. This has affected our ability to truly work together in real ministry. In short, I publically confess my fault in this matter, and ask women every where to PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE... forgive us men for all we've done to hurt you, to depise you, to treat you with disregard and cast you aside like trash. For all the abusive words and deeds which hurt your bodies and souls. For all the times we ignored you, and did not nurture or example godliness. For all the times we were disloyal, dishonable, disrespectful, discouraging, corrupt, cowardly and much much much more --- I am truly sorry. I do not mean any disrespect to anyone by what I say, but it takes a man to confess the truth and stand by it. My heart grieves for every man struggling to find a good wife, but truly - I understand why. I pray women everywhere will know all men are not the same. Some truly love God with ALL their heart, are obedient to His voice and are willing to live to the fullest of spiritual maturity. I pray all of you find whom you search for, as God desires and leads. Peace. Post Reply

faithfulsteward View Profile History	Do Men owe Women an appology? Posted : 5 Aug, 2012 12:15 PM You're welcome, and thank you for being a woman. My Mother, my Daughter and Wife are all women, and it stands to reason females are crucial to human survival. It therefore bugs me greatly to hear of men disrespecting our fellow humans. This, along with my past experience of hypocrisy, and above all God's grace toward me is what motivates my heart to address this issue. I am so sorry for taking so long to respond to your comments. God bless you and keep up the good work of pure faith & love. Sincerely; Leon:waving: Post Reply

Yes, compatibility seems a diffcult thing, yet I now know from God it is a simple matter of love. While we are born into sin, we become new creations in Christ, the power of God leads us to perfection, so love is a constant, rather than an option. In this way, as written in Matthew 5; verse 48 we become perfect in the mature desire to honestly, sincerely, directly uphold the good and right way. This perfection is what eludes many of us, if we resist the ongoing marriage fellowship we're to be having in Christ, replacing it with the worldly fleshly traditions of religion and self-survival as objectives of pursuit. In this way, the lack of male - female compatibility is hindered by distraction, thus leading to the gap society currently experiences. God bless you for caring enough to respond to the thoughts expressed. Keep up the good work in Christ to maintain true fellowship, according to pure love. Post Reply
