It is becoming clear that some of the long time friends on here are rather quick to pounce on someone new over a minor mistake ... It is beginning to resemble a game site with a bunch of teenagers on it ... Can everyone please try to get along just a little better please ? ... This is supposed to be a Christian forum but some of the things going on in here truthfully are not appearing as such ... Yes, I am new here too, so you can jump all over me for saying something if you want, but I have merely spoken the truth ...

Right, so back on topic. If you are female, sit under the tutelage of a male teacher and study study study.

Then pretend for the rest of your life that you have no knowledge. This will please a certain kind of man exceedingly ;)

It is not about pleasing man ... Following the Bible's instructions is about pleasing God ...

i doubt your nameless "reproof" if you could call it that is directed at me

but i am guilty of being a bit harsh when someone falsely accuses a brother or sister in Christ


now i do this out of love
in hopes they see the error of their ways

that haughty high minded "i am more holy than you are" attitude followed by more lies

is something that needs reproof in itself


im not sure if id call what you said "truth" actually
i disagree with a lot of it

being a "game" site
or which mistake is minor?
the lie of a new member?
or a harsh reproof of the old?

Had this been an actual emergency, you would have been instructed where to go for further instructions.

Do you know what's wrong with those pictures? Someone forgot to add the chocolate sauce into the raspberry sauce! (Have you ever had raspberries and chocolate together? It's a combination that makes chocolate-covered strawberries almost feel just-okay. lol)

Okay, I would hope that we as Christians have better things to promote than gay purple. I am new to this site and am pretty disappointed with the lack of a sincere desire to discuss God's Word with sobriety.

Perhaps you haven't read all 600 + posts? It gets far too sober in these threads. A little diversion through silliness can sometimes relieve tension and possibly get things back on track.

I added the chocolate cheesecake for variety purposes but I actually technically am allergic to chocolate so I wouldn't know if that one is good.

I know people who are allergic to nuts or fruit, and have even heard of people who are allergic to water. But allergic to chocolate? That's the saddest allergy I've ever heard of! Condolences.

What I said is absolute truth and that is very evident by reading the last two pages of this thread ... I don't believe God is going to consider speaking truth as being "high minded" as you call it ... The name calling that was said in the last two pages here certainly was not said out of any love ... And there are no lies in what I said and that is precisely why it has struck such a nerve ... It is truth and many know it is truth ... I have only been here a short time and I have seen it several times already ... Icetech made a minor mistake and apologized ... Then still, even after his apology, people continued in calling him names ... Totally uncalled for behavior, especially on a Christian site ... I just ask that everybody actually remember who this site is supposed to be in honor of ... It is not for our honor ... It is supposed to be in God's honor ... He cannot be liking some of what He is seeing, that much I can guarantee ...

That's not the obedience or sacrifice God wants from you. He wants the obedience of trust from you. It is a race of trust we are in. And you are gung ho on being in charge of every other racer and what they must do but it is your own race to trust more and more that you need to focus on.

If you want to help other racers rather than be in charge of them, help to build up their trust, since it is their most precious possession and the one that the world the flesh and the devil will try to take from them so they cannot run the race well.

A sure sign that you are not running your own race well is that you will lord scripture over others and focus on whatever you think they do wrong. You will lord it over them rather than being their servant. Is that you? Or are you here to serve us?

IKR!!? There is a coffee shop where I discovered the drink aptly called "Razzle Dazzle"; there's just no where to go from there but down.

I stand by this statement. It was not made to Angela but what in the statement do you believe to be untrue?

I am not saying this as a put down or a comeback. I'm truly concerned. You need to see a doctor. You have short-term memory problems and lack a capacity to keep dialog together. Something is seriously wrong with your thinker -- your brain. I can't imagine it's easier for you on a job or even just hanging out with friends.

And here it is again. Your focus is on trying to change or make obedient everyone else. A sure sign that one is not running their own race well. Are you here to serve us and build us up in our trust or not?

God doesn't just want people's trust ... He wants them to follow His rules ... That is why He issued the Ten Commandments any many more rules ... He didn't just place them in the Bible for us to look at ... He placed them there to be followed ...

Oh good, we are having fun! So, I am going to bring this back to on topic!

10 Reasons Why Men Should not be allowed to preach, teach or be ordained!

10. A man’s place is in the army.

9. The pastoral duties of men who have children might distract them from the responsibility of being a parent.

8. The physique of men indicates that they are more suited to such tasks as chopping down trees and wrestling mountain lions. It would be “unnatural” for them to do ministerial tasks.

7. Man was created before woman, obviously as a prototype. Thus, they represent an experiment rather than the crowning achievement of creation.

6. Men are too emotional to be priests or pastors. Their conduct at football and basketball games demonstrates this.

5. Some men are handsome, and this will distract women worshipers.

4. Pastors need to nurture their congregations. But this is not a traditional male role. Throughout history, women have been recognized as not only more skilled than men at nurturing, but also more fervently attracted to it. This makes them the obvious choice for ordination.

3. Men are prone to violence. No really masculine man wants to settle disputes except by fighting about them. Thus they would be poor role models as well as dangerously unstable in positions of leadership.

2. The New Testament tells us that Jesus was betrayed by a man. His lack of faith and ensuing punishment remind us of the subordinated position that all men should take.

1. Men can still be involved in church activities, even without being ordained. They can sweep sidewalks, repair the church roof, and perhaps even lead the song service on Father’s Day. By confining themselves to such traditional male roles, they can still be vitally important in the life of the church.

lol
absolute truth?
nope

this being like a "game site"
is an opinion of yours

as for name calling
i havent done this unless you count pointing out someones behavior as being high minded

im speaking in regards to myself
and the false accusations of troubled65


you didnt name who you were trying to admonish

this is an open forum i recently posted in
so i responded


i have yet to see that i can trust your "guarantee"
"absolute truth"


but id actually agree
we ought to be walking in the spirit
forgiving
gentle
meek

not at eachothers throats

so


troubled

im not holding a grudge against you
i have no malice in my heart because of what you did

and i did not want to offend you

but trying to falsely accuse brothers and sisters
imputing homosexuality to a color
and claiming you know their desires is wrong

it makes you look like a legalist looking to prop yourself up


as for pontiac

id like to see you in the not by works thread to see if your assurance comes from self

or the promises of Jesus

Click to expand...
No, you are the troublemaker, here desiring to be the head. But if anyone desires to be the head, they must make themselves the lowest. We are not without discernment. We can very quickly tell if someone is here to lay down their own life to serve us. And if they are, we know to listen to them. You are here to see to everyone elses house but your own and to lord it over others with scripture.

And you are an arrogant little twit, coming in to a forum that you have zero history with, wanting to ridicule and make accusations against educated, intelligent people who have been discussing (with respect) these topics for years.

Perhaps you should zip your lip and lurk for a while. Try to actually follow a thread, and see what you can learn. It's obvious from your posts that you have lots of room for new (to you) knowledge.
