We war not against flesh and blood.

I thought about naming this thread,


Luke 9:49-56 KJV
[49] And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils ax in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us. [50] And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us. [51] And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, [52] And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. [53] And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. [54] And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? [55] But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. [56] For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them.

6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers!

7 Now therefore, there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one against another. Why do ye not rather accept wrong? Why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?

8 Nay, ye do wrong and defraud, and that your own brethren!

I’m talking about the fleshly, immature, know it all members in this board which war against flesh and blood on a constant basis. Don’t y’all know that you are hurting the Holy Trinity by preferring one above another, your being puffed up in pride because of your superior knowledge.

God the father voided himself of the fellowship with the second person of deity and Christ Jesus suffered in his soul for all in order to save you then you verbally beat up the members of Christ for whom he died. Brethren, these things aren’t not to be.

I call for every member of Christian Chat to humble ourselves and begin to walk in love. The agape love for one another.

Please read.

I can't speak for activity in BDF of course, but here in miscellaneous you are the only one I have seen stirring up crap.

Who are you talking to?

Thinking on that passage reminds me of how human people are, some people want to do things and go 'my way or the highway' but when they see someone else do something different or new and not necessarily following them but its also in Jesus name they are quick to cut them down for being different from the way THEY do things.

?! Jesus wasnt fussed, as long as they were doing good in His name it didnt matter ...!

This was back in the day when Jews hated Samaritans because they were different. But as we can tell from the Good Samaritan story Samaritans had just as much compassion, even more than the Orthodox Jewish people did.

Who are you referring to in opposition to or support of, if you would be so inclined.

I hate that I have appeared argumentative and a sower of discord, I am not.

This board needs focused, dedicated and strong staff, that is reason for all the railing and unruliness to fester and grow.

If you're talking about here in misc. forum, none of that is festering and/or growing.

If you're talking about BDF, that's why we have that forum. To keep all that junk in there. Occasionally the seals on the pipes wear out and we get a little seepage into other forums, but eventually they drain back into BDF and leave us alone again.

If you're talking about the forum as a whole... These are very different forums. BDF is not Misc. and it is not Singles forum. We're always gonna have this crap on a Christian forum. There will always be people looking to boost their own egos by putting other people down. Having BDF to keep all that junk in is the most elegant solution.

Now if you want to go repost this thread in BDF and remonstrate with them directly about how much vile, virulent vituperation they regulary spew... Good luck! I'll help identify your body.

But complaining about that stuff here in Misc. does no good. These are separate forums and the yelling at people is going on in that forum over THERE, no this Misc. forum HERE.

I realize people have moved on as have I, I don’t think I’m important enough for anyone to carry a grudge for me. Nevertheless, do I pick up a little angst and disapproval in your post above.

First of all, I never felt any conviction of the Holy Spirit, secondly, the BDF is for discussing the Bible not of which I wrote of, thirdly, I believe mature Christian’s are instructed to reprove, rebuke and exhort with all long suffering. You yourself seems to deem them worthy of it.

I believe my motive was pure, this rampant behavior has been facilitated by poor moderation, restrictions and ultimately banning is called for. I understand the moderators are volunteers, so are moderators of other boards, but order and peace are maintained on them.

I feel the need to leave CC and wait until Tall Timbers tell me to come to Adrian’s board.

Terribly sorry that we don't meet your standards. Good luck finding a forum that does.
