these are the conflicts on this sight. debates are simply augurements. Knowledge of the bible, but no understanding of the scriptures seem to be the biggest problem. everybody believes that they are right. The only ones that can recognize the truth are those that are lead and taught by the holy spirit. one thing is for sure, somebody is wrong, and somebody is right.

We are all beaten up and wounded by life.
Let us love one another, for love is of God...
I am ashamed of myself for my failure to do this
consistently, but will not allow others to shame me.
That is not their job LOL
Perhaps lowering our expectations of others, being careful
to take responsibility for our role in any interaction, and
removing the majority of "you" statements would help...

Someone who bullies will do so out of insecurity, when the insecurity is challenged the response is not rational.
When one someone is secure then their response will tend to be rational.
We must in all circumstances never get bitter, I know it's easier said than done.
But the truth is if we do then we can become like a bully.
We as the church of God must and it's required by God to love each other.

One thing I've noticed too is that sometimes people might assume that you are teaching something, just because you say it.
"It will", vs. "I think it will".
And people will see one of your comments and assume something about it, and then they build up some image of you in their mind and then no amount of discussion will change it.
"This person is a heretic, they teach <X>"
"That was 20 years ago, they no longer believe <X>"
Another thing that bothers me is when someone insults me, it's really hard to forgive them, and if I do, they probably ignore me anyway, and wouldn't even think to apologize. So it just leaves negativity around. People ignoring each other, having multiple accounts, insults and reporting. It's all just sad.
This is just as relevant as it was back then.
Matthew 18:
[SUP]21 [/SUP]Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
[SUP]22 [/SUP]Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
Time to remove the 2 people on my ignore list lol.

Luk 12:58 As you go with your accuser before the magistrate, make an effort to settle with him on the way, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer put you in prison.
Luk 12:59 I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the very last penny."
This is a funny story that actually happened to me. I was dating this guy when I was single. A nice widower, and a Christian. I was divorced and not yet healed from it.
So I start throwing things at him from my hurt from my husband, and all he would do was say..you are probably right...with everything I threw at him.
Finally I realized what I was doing and started laughing. And apologized. Wish I would remember this all the time. But, am human.
He was a great teacher even if he didn't realize it.

I wonder if anyone has noticed? Every single thread I look at, there is little scriture shared but a lot of anger and strife is shared instead. I wonder why? Yes.....I'm no less guilty than anyone else.
