I am guessing the op is yet another victim of the bible discussion forum and us (loving) Christians. I have seen so many being run away form this site because of how people act in the bdf and several of them I kept in contact with and they ran away from Christianity in general all because of how we claim to shine the truth and God's light and yet it has the opposite effect of God's light and truth it doesn't bring people to God it scares them away.
In the moment we all try to win the debate and begin to point the finger and attack and mock each other we never realize the amount of damage we are doing the people we are scaring away and the pain we cause in peoples hearts nor do we seem to consider that. As I have said many times before every word and action is like a pebble falling into a pond it creates ripples that expand in size and radius lets say the pond is the people our words and actions effect now imagine how much more our ripples influence in the internet where the pond of peoples hearts are much more vast.
It's much more important to show God's heart and his love than it is to prove yourself right and this is but one example of this
