This is because there are just so many Christian Traditions around the world. So, you cannot help but offend someone who is some type of Christian no matter what you write. Because of this problem I put Yesu at dragonofcompassion at the very bottom of my writings there. It is precisely because of the problems of getting a good response from anything you write about Jesus anywhere.
From my point of view I always look for what joins people together in an ecumenical way. This is because when I grew up it was in the worst of the Cold War where any day we expected to be turned to dust in a nuclear blast from the differences in the world then. So, worrying about diverse Christian types of beliefs is just an extension of that time in my life where we all expected to die.
I think the best story I can tell you happened during the "Cuban Missile Crisis". We were working for one of the Dupont heiresses at that time in Los Angeles on her main home. She was shaking visibly and packing her car as a young woman in her 20s and told us she was going to her mountain cabin in the High Sierra mountains so she would survive the blasts.
I asked my father because I was 14 if we were going to die like she thought and he said after she left: "That's just bullshit! We are all going to be okay. I hope she doesn't injure herself being so scared." This was a very World War II kind of response in that we were going to survive anything anyone threw at us.
But, somehow this comforted me after seeing this poor young lady who was obviously beautiful and upper class so scared that she was shaking and might not have even been safe to drive that day at all as she drove to her High Sierra Cabin to ride out those terrible times here in the U.S. when we all expected to die then.
So, even though I'm an intuitive and often can see through time and space to what actually occurs past, present and future this doesn't mean that most people are going to believe me (unless they actually see that I am right) that is.
Even with me when I predict something when I actually see it happen it is sort of terrifying for me too like when I told my wife not to drive in 1985 because one or more family members could die if they drove that day (a Saturday) she and my stepdaughter drove anyway and had a head on. Luckily, I had prayed very hard so neither of them would die that day so at least my wife only cracked ribs on the steering wheel and my daughter had blood running down her face from almost going through the front window of the car and cutting her head on a ring on her hand as her hand and then head hit her hand on the windshield inside the car. So, at least everyone survived that day.
So, even if you know what is coming and it happens over and over again, it does't mean that people outside of your immediate family are going to believe you even then. And sometimes not even then.
By God's Grace
