Thank you Shiloah, the pity here is, the forum is for those who truly wish to discuss the Word, in turn I should think the Gospel delivered to us by our Savior. Unhappily, along with the wheat, tares do grow, and they will not be removed and burned until the great and glorious Harvest of our King, and only then will they be separated from the wheat and burned.
So, in the spirit of sharing the blessings of understanding from the gospel, we sometimes must suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune in the form of swine among the lambs. Keep up the good fight, soldier!

UMM Now didn't Stephen accuse me of the same thing you're accusing me of? Aren't you being just as bizarre? You didn't say one word to Stephen even though it was a direct statement about her. Yet on the other hand you will defend Stephen even though he accused me of the very same thing you just said I did. Don't a number of you do the very same thing with your group?
Never mind the fact that he started a thread about that very same thing about insults and persecution and then turns around and does the very thing he is railing against. But that's OK because it's Stephen. The reason I pointed it out was because he was talking about the insults to BEGIN with,then he turns around and does the very that he is speaking out about.

Absolutely true, JaimeJ. They do show themselves by their fruits anyway to anyone that's really looking and going by what Jesus said, that you will know them by their fruits. And the truth is, if onlookers only see bad fruits representing Christianity, that will drive them away from Christ. So what other choice to we have but to continue to fight that good fight?
If you love Me, feed my sheep.

I read through continual threads on this site as I'm sure most everyone does. I see the constant snide innuendos that eventually become attacks on the persons beliefs that go far beyond scriptural argumentation. I've repeatedly seen them show scriptures and try to respond in a Christ like fashion. Yet the attackers continue until a person finally responds by saying something like Stephen did? You call that an insult? Jesus called the Pharisees a herd of jackals. However, when He spoke to the Sadducees concerning their belief that there was no resurrection, He simply told them they misunderstood scriptures and explained why.
And Stephen calls what Zone said in those insults? I understand what Jesus said to the Pharisees,but what I start to see is the double standard. It happens on BOTH sides. Don't some do it to her also? Does the thought ever enter your mind that you can excuse Stephen for saying things like yet many can not so the same for her? Hasn't she shown scriptures also? Hasn't she also tried to explain her position also?
Now did you think of this all by yourself, or did you have help from another of your spiritual ilk? Do you call this fellowshiping in Bible discussion?
Hail, hail, the gang's all here.
Are you aware you are making sport, that is scoffing at people who claim the Blood of the Lamb of God? How is your response possible? It is certainly not Word inspired. You should apologize to the OP.

When the truth hurts when dealing with the Word, it probably is supposed to; not an insult, a lesson.
When discussing the Word in what is supposed to be Bible discussion and variance is made strictly for the sake of putting down the person posting, this is not in the spirit of fellowshiping, it is not of the Holy Spirit.
The most recent example of deliberately mocking the brethren is the roll of note paper in the form of toilet paper. This type of oh-i-am-just-kidding humor is base, yet rampant by many so-called believers in the forum. Base humor, ridicule, winking the eye, etc. have no real place when discussing the Word.
Scroll through some of the seemingly more heated posts and see the soul less humor and cartoons posted in friendly humor. It is quite repulsive.
I now expect one of the spirit-filled stars of the forum to come along to tell me again, humor is good in fellowship in the Lord. This is a lie. Read what the Word teaches on the subject, then say it is good.
