Yehu,
| Yehu wrote: | | TBax, that’s how it’s actually pronounced - yahoo. How can you possibly arrive at the conclusion it would be disrespectful to use the names I had requested? |
If you like that, that's fine. 
Do you know what a Yahoo is???
Yahoo-1. (in Swift's Gulliver's Travels) one of a race of brutes, having the form and all the vices of humans, who are subject to the Houyhnhnms.
2. (lowercase) an uncultivated or boorish person; lout; philistine; yokel.
3. (lowercase) a coarse or brutish person.
| Yehu wrote: | | The answer, of course, is arrogance. You decided that Your conclusions were more valuable than my requests. You decided the pronunciation yahoo was disrespectful, totally disregarding how I might view the matter. |
You are passing a motive judgement. You should know better. 
You are trying to justify why you were easily offended. You've learned nothing.
| Yehu wrote: | | Your arrogance is supposed to be helping me? |
The scripture is counsel. If you do not apply it you are being haughty. Seems you still want to be offended even after you saw the explanation. Oh well. 
| Yehu wrote: | | My objective in pointing out character flaws it not to denigrate or attack. The purpose is for information (ya may have a big log sticking out of that eye dear sir!). Hopefully we are all learning to grow up, no longer being babes. |
Perhaps that could've been meaningful if that paragraph didn't directly follow the next quote:
| Yehu wrote: | | And then you top it off with some kind of sophomoric weenie justification? |
Bold mine
What was that about "no longer being babes."
So basically, you will reject all my explanations because you "know" what I was thinking? You used the term arrogant a number of times. Do you actually know what that means??? Of coarse you cannot see it applying to you, can you?
Do you know what this means?
Matt 7:5 Hypocrite! First extract the rafter from your own eye, and then you will see clearly how to extract the straw from your brother’s eye.
| Yehu wrote: | | TBax wrote: | | On one occation (sic) he called his mother "woman". Yes, you could be offended by that, |
And you have a doctorate in ancient anthropology to determine that such verbiage was offensive back then? How wonderfully - arrogant. I think I’d make a lot of money betting on what you think the phrase “heaping coals of fire upon their heads” means (Rom. 12:20). |
Again, the key is to keep reading and not take things out of context. You see, if you keep reading, you may understand why the part you took out of context is there.
On one occaSion he called his mother "woman". Yes, you could be offended by that, but that would be foolish.
Instead of assuming bad motives or mockery, perhaps we need to look deeper for understanding.
Do you get it now???
BTW:I know I am not a good speller.  Allow me to correct it in the above quote.
| Yehu wrote: | | (It remained to be seen whether your character is so deficient as to demand you get the last word in.) |
Do you apply your standards to you? What was that suppose to say about my character?
Since you came back and are being combative once again, what is that saying about your character?

I had to laugh when I read that for two reasons:
1) The story you are referring to is a light-hearted one. Woman is said with a sense of humor and great affection.
2) My husband calls me 'woman' a lot. He's the most caring decent man I've ever met.
I really doubt Jesus was being arrogant, rude or demeaning and I sincerely doubt his mother took it that way.

Actually TBax, that's the only thing you wrote having any significance. The use of "sic" in a quote is a formal requirment of academic protocol. In that you choose to be offended in this merely shows your lack of experience in academic matters.
I'll just let your supposed Lord deal with you.

luvnlife,
Hi,

Perhaps. I see it a bit differently though. I believe it was actually a lesson, that Jesus, as the newly annointed messiah, didn't intend to show partiality based on familial relationships. Although he did preform his first miracle there.
John 2:3 When the wine ran short the mother of Jesus said to him: “They have no wine.” 4 But Jesus said to her: “What have I to do with you, woman? My hour has not yet come.”
I appreciate how some joke around with that term, and I appreciate the closeness you have with your husband. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't call my mother "woman".  The point is someone could read that and become offended, yet that would be foolish. Perhaps the reason that you can reason properly on this is because you know Jesus is righteous and don't ever assign him bad motives?
I believe if I were to call you "woman" you would consider it differently, wouldn't you? I could be wrong on that. The point remains, someone who doesn't know Jesus like we do might become offended if they choose to. People can choose to be offended without trying to understand, like Yehu did. Christians are not to be that way, but we should assume good motives, as love believes all things, assuming the best motives in people. Jumping to a bad motive judgement isn't proper for us, and shuts that person down to understanding.

Me too. That is why it would be foolish to think he was being rude.

Yehu,
First of all, I do believe "sic" was to indicate my spelling error. I recognized it. So what? You now making an issue out of this is curious. 
Second, you focusing on your "academic protocol" perhaps caused you to miss the point entirely. I wasn't saying how we should look at that verse, but how somebody could look at it and perhaps be offended.
| Yehu wrote: | | In that you choose to be offended in this merely shows your lack of experience in academic matters. |
Third (a), what I said, namely: "BTW: I know I am not a good speller. Allow me to correct it in the above quote. " I don't believe in any way shows offense. Me laughing at myself shows offense??? Whatever.  Just curious, do the emoticons I put among the text not show up on your screen? Can you see the laughing dude at the end of this sentence? If you can see them, do you comprehend why they are there?
Regardless, I altered the quote to fix the spelling and made mention of it. Is that suppose to show offense? Could the making of mention of the alteration be considered "academic protocol"???
Third (b), Yes, I do lack experience in "academic matters" as I didn't go to human schools of higher learning and don't encounter "sic" very often. So what is your point? Is it improper "academically" for me to recognize and correct the error?
Fourth, what was trying to get the last word in suppose to say about me, hence what is it saying about you? Since you do not apply your own standards to you, why do you expect others to follow them?
