If a friend is lying and calling people names, would you say something or would you turn a blind eye?
I would respectfully as much I could say something..still don't know how this relates to me saying its wrong to lie and name call.

You know I love you tin.....but I really dislike bullies. Especially spiritual ones....they are the worst kind in my opinion. They do more damage to people's hearts than anyone else. I like calling them out.
No problems, dear brother. I agree with you. Bullying is poisonous. Its toxins have paralysed me in some ways from being everything God has called me to be. Personally, I just find calling bullies out in person is much more productive. These days I'm all too aware of my own failings, so no problems there.

They do a lot of damage to people....the ones who have a compulsive desire to control others for whatever their pet purpose is.

those are the most insecure people in the world

they just cannot stand it if they are not aware of everything and in control of it

drives some people nuts LOL!

anyway...God is good! He says to pour out our hearts to Him...He is the best doctor on earth for our hearts and minds!

Heresy Hunters – Judging Others

The following is a reply to an email amongst friends concerning heresy hunters, those who denounce other Christians as being heretics (false: prophets, apostles etc.) because they hold different non-essential Christians doctrines than them.

You asked, ‘There are people who have different view points. Are they entirely wrong?’ Yes and no, case by case differs. Look at the Kings of Israel and Judah, some were good, some were bad, some were good and then bad, others were bad and then good, whilst some kept tottering between the two opinions! Simon the sorcerer from Acts 8 was converted and baptised in a time of revival, BUT his heart was not right. Peter sussed him out, as he wanted to purchase the impartation of the Holy Spirit with money and told him to repent.

long article, but interesting regarding the harm done by people who think they have some kind of calling to find fault with everyone but themselves

Just curious.... I agree with your statement, it is never right to lie or call people names and if a friend does it we should speak up.

I guess my biggest mistake was thinking I had friends on this thread. If I had known I was thought so poorly, I would have never wasted my time in posting.

Thank you for your time and I will see you on a different thread.

I haven't really sensed bitterness. I sensed a desire to work thru stuff....like we all should be doing.

Did I just read 4 pages about heresy, without one single Scripture on anything?

Maybe we need to ask RoboOp if he would start some kind of "Opinion" Forum and we could discuss things like this, instead of clogging up the BIBLE Discussion Forum with this sort of nonsense.

If someone posts something heretical, then it is incumbent upon us to search the Scriptures, to see what they say about a topic. That doesn't require any name calling or bitterness, that I can think of.

I just wish we could post Bible Scriptures and discuss them. Instead of personal fighting and attacks!

"But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction." 2 Peter 2:1

"For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough." 2 Cor. 11:4


PS I might have missed a verse or two. No way I was going back to double check!

I didn't start it

it's the personal attacks and the judging

they are a different kind of heresy hunter..the personal assistant heresy hunter

there is nothing wrong with looking at the other side of the coin which is what I am doing due to the thread of the other day which was one of the worst threads ever that I have seen since I am here

but, really, why do some of you, that I have seen on other threads having plenty to say, come on here and make comments that serve no purpose but even more nastiness?

I think the wanna be mods are out of control

well, you can give us the Greek version then

seriously? we don't believe the same Angela, but I respect what you say...I don't respect a cheap shot though

we had that discussion a long time ago...you had a bad experience with speaking in tongues so therefore it's all bad...that's not fair

no worries about Robo op...he knows what I think

trying to bring out the big guns? start a thread...I have not seen one from you...just your opinion on everyrone elses' thread

I am really up to here with trying to dodge all the religious bullets around here

I think you know very well that I am diligent in Bible study...so don't try to make it sound like someone who doesn't respect God's word...you are not the end all expert of scripture...

Excellent idea. We could call it the Cheese and Whine Lounge.

Why make fun of it? When someone feels something, they actually feel something. We should afford them at least that. Let's be mature about it

What's even funnier is she made fun of the whole BDF, including herself as a regular, but didn't even realize it. :rolleyes:

one more thing Angela...I believe that one should base their experience on scripture...not opinions and you do have opinions...just like anyone else

I have teachers I respect and learn from...honestly this forum is not a Bible study...the name is CHAT...if someone wants everyone else to listen to them only (I don't mean you here) they must not have a very good outlet anywhere else..this is not a teaching site

people should go to C.A.R.M. or similar if they want to knock down other people's beliefs with a good smack of doctrine and knowledge without wisdom

Good idea. Whining is for children, not adults.
