This from the guy who craps on those who share their hearts and cruelly tries to use it against them. What a blind hypocritical piece of work you are.
I think there was this huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge sequoia about 5,000 years old, and it was cut down to large-fireplace-log sizes and then equally disrupted to quite a few of us on here to jam right smack into our eyes. All placed there specifically so we can "look around it" to see who has any specks in their eyes.

Let's face facts. I have not yet seen anyone take a swing at another person's way of doing things on here, but those of us (and I do mean us, because I am the same) with that huuuuuge log in our own eye.

Sequoia-log eye to sequoia-log eye suggestion. How about we smarten up, see the big evergreen that's clogging our vision, and deal with that instead of complaining about yet another sequoia-log eye person?

One by one, if we drop our ways, who knows? Maybe we can use the log for a joyous bonfire instead? Sharing warmth, instead of splinters. :)

This is a good example of a problem.

Cruelly use things against them? What are you referring to?
We are called to repent of sin, not boast in it.

Please show me my error before Christ and those I have hurt. Yes people will feel bad
when we do not face our need to repent or come humbly to our Lord.

You say I am a hypocrite, show me my friend, I hide nothing.

This attack is a common approach used by many to hurt, discourage and silence others,
but in Christ love and forgiveness overcomes. Amen, praise the Lord.

And the enemy uses everything even blasphemy. But he is the defeated foe in Christ.
FNC has often shown the flip side of love and openness so expect this from him.

Aww, thank you.. But there are several others here who are much wiser than me.. and you're one of them.. :)
If wisdom is something you see in me then you should know it's not me that's wise but rather he that is in me, believe me if you knew me in real life you would not see me as wise lol

And yes there is the fact some people are sensitive but it's because of this fact we should be more considerate in the manner of which we speak, not everyone is as strong as others and if people get offended easily and start attacking as a response this is when we should recognize this and not retaliate back because only a calm and kind response can help kill the fire of offense.

I honestly don't know how people make enemies like they do there even in this thread accusations and attacks are happening between each other, I frequent the bdf more than other forum on this site and have yet to bicker with people as many do and I have yet to make enemies like people do so either I am bad at making enemies or I am doing something right

Defences. If something hurts you, think why is that? What was I hoping for.

Did FNC hurt me? No, because the response showed the very thing I am talking about.
We want our faith to work, our lives depend on it. So it is hard to talk about, and we do
not know why.

I love Jesus. I want to follow him and express and explore what love is.
Some are so hurt, seriously damaged to start this road is very painful.

The mistake is to think this pain is caused by the discussion, rather than ones past.
Jesus asked us to carry the cross so we learn to walk despite the pain, because the
pain is the reason we withdraw, sin, lashout, and do not move deeper into Christ.

Make no mistake Judas hurt Jesus by his betrayal, but it was always going to be.
Pain does not define us, love overcoming is where we are called to walk.

In Acts James is killed by Herod, Peter is set free by an angel. Peter praised. the
Lord to serve, not wallow in the pain of loss and injustice. What a King we follow.

Being honest some have an agenda where they literally believe people are evil.
I have been called such. I have been called to repent, but not told what of, slandered
that I insulted them deeply, yet the facts are emotional projection.

Some have tried to destroy me, upset me, ban me, find any weakness they could.
I have seen some fold under this pressure. And make no mistake about it this is
a war of ideas and they do want to conquer and dominate everything.

But in Christ we stand. As a witness to our Lord, this is the same, because people hold
names, nice words, theology, does not make them Spirit led. One serious flaw in a position
and it is lost, so we always need to be careful and loving, but know the enemy.

Wise words there from depleted. "Maybe if we drop our ways..."
They might not drop theirs, but we certainly can choose to drop ours and insist on walking a different way.
If we begin to not take offense, then we don't get pulled into their way.
And it actually works for good if you insist on not picking up again those ways depleted thinks would be wise to drop.

I can't say you are innocent in this there have been times when I have seen you do this as well but since it was not a debate I was interested in getting mixed up in I didn't say anything. Sometimes people do call on you for the things you ask them about but you deflect it

The wood really does smell good though, doesn't it?

(There really is self-satisfaction in the old ways, but this is one of those one-moment-at-a-time thing. And, you'll be happy to know, I'm doing the same thing right now too. Because, you know, misery loves company.
:p)
