I was pretty excited to discover this site... a place where Christians gather together and share! I searched around and read some interesting threads...then the last several discussions I read were sad. It seemed the more I read the more condemnation, judgement, ridicule, and self righteousness I saw. My analytical brain understands human nature...I'm well versed both thru a degree in psychology and my birth right as a human being. My heart was much less intrigued.
My bubble was busted. What seemed like an opportunity to share encouragement and faith...to revel in the heavenly fortune we share... ended tonight in observations of fellow believers ridiculing one another, judging, slinging scripture out of context or for their benefit like a weapon rather than instruction or love, as intended. That is not fellowship. Is there a chat room here for fellowship? Where people share the word and lift one another up and enjoy the gifts of the Spirit? Not that I think that life is hearts and flowers and rainbows and butterflies... but sharing and growing in love is a little more my speed.
