The problem with my fist in your face

[thecreationtutor]

The problem is, it shouldn't be there, but you kept on attacking me, on your point of theology that I don't agree with. You wouldn't relent, you tried to do it in your secret condemnation thread.

You have helped me to stumble in my faith, and you are convinced that the speck in my eye is the problem, you say your being loving, but your really being a jerk, you say I am persecuting you, but a jerk doesn't get persecuted, he gets punished

Who has troubled you brother?

Wasn't to thrilled about a post blatantly attacking a CC member - When it comes to things Christians HAVE to agree on - I look to Ephesians 4:1-6 which expressly talks of unity in the Body

Majors vs minors - Majors convictions, Minors tolerance, all things love

But I think this situation happens alot

If there's a problem, flag it for admin/mods, maybe leave a post in the thread saying as delicately as you can that you have a problem, click the x and do something else for a bit. No point in getting upset about a post on a forum - leave it to the mods to decide if there's anything personal that needs to be dealt with - don't worry yourself about it.

I'd also recommend asking for this thread to be closed as well, because if there's a problem, it's probably something that should be handled by the mods, rather than escalated in public chat. You're OP, you should make the call either way.

It's not totally that - but there is, and can be this idea that we attack other's who have the main content - they are brother/sisters - but they don't see everything the way we do. In our pride sometimes we have to be right, or we have to make someone see our theological point, i can do this and I have seen myself do this - as I have grown, I have tried to turn from that

I was hoping the post would be a good illustration - I personally am not going to cause bodily hard to anyone

Listen, tone it down.
If you have a problem P.M. the person.

Ah, so the OP was an "illustration" ONLY, and NOT a "personal" comment/reply. Not for nothing, but stating that in the OP would have been a great help. Well, for me anyway. I chose to not respond to your OP because it appeared to be a "heated response" to some comment made to you "personally" in another thread.

Oh, well..........

Sure. But sometimes just replying gives people oxygen. If it is a personal attack, then everyone who disagrees with it should flag it, and stop posting, stop reading. People can say whatever they like on a forum, but if it's just them, it doesn't matter. And then the mods shut it down.

Sometimes it's honestly a matter of working out whether there's a battle to be won. Sometimes I fight, knowing I can maybe convince someone in love, or change their thinking (or my thinking!) a little. Other times, I just back out, because there's nothing to be gained, for them or myself.

I'll be honest - the title threw me. I'm honestly not sure what's to be gained with a title and OP like this apart from more flaming and more anger. My advice - get this thread locked before there's any more flaming, flag the other post, don't toss any more posts (pearls?) out there, and kick the dust off your sandals and go offline for a breather. I'm going offline myself now (cause I'm sleepy ), so why not join me

Sometimes I notice pickiness about particular issues that I don't find important, and then others I feel like the person needs to grow more in understanding before they get the truth on a matter. But I really like this story about seeing things differently.

A boy was playing with his ball it rolled down the hill and got stuck in the fence dividing the neighbor's property. The boy ran in the house to tell his mother could she go get his ball. The mother seeing the neighbor hollered out,"hello good neighbor may I walk on your property to get my son's blue ball that has wedged itself in the fence". The neighbor sees the ball and says, " yes, but I don't see a blue ball however, there is an orange one there". "No, no, says the mother it is blue I clearly have a good view of the ball". "Well, go get the ball but you will see when you get there it is orange," says the neighbor.

So, who was right?

The answer is they were both right the ball was half blue and half orange and had wedged at the line. From our viewpoint, at times, we can both be right.

I have to tell this testimony in regard to this scripture. When my daughter was little (5) I gave a devotion about this scripture to my 3 children, they all went out to play afterwards. A little time goes by and my daughter runs into the house crying. I did what you said mom, I gave a soft answer and they still were yelling at me and angry. Thats when the Holy Spirit let me know it's not their (the other individual) wrath that is turned away but your own. Keeping you in a place where you are in control of you spirit.

Now you have shared this with me, put it into practice. As a child of the Most High God, may you be filled with peace in Yeshua's name, amen.
