the only One who we could/world ever care about what we say or do is only The One,=!!!!!

p.s.
for those who are speaking over and over and over for justification and about how they
feel about the 'ignore-button' feature, why not just wear t-shirts?
it may be one way that you may find some inner-outer-peace.....

I am sorry I was not trying to quote you, I was trying to emphasis what Jesus was addressing.
I would not personally used such a verse unless it applied. Most people I know with this kind of failure are personality and emotional manipulators and not in the same league as the pharisees.

The pharisees must have be psychopaths, with no heart, in many cases, simply because they did not care. It mattered zero to them that Jesus was God, and that is what Jesus hated most. The very people who should have supported his words and actions were doing the opposite. Funnily when I was younger I felt a lack of support from a church, but it was ignorance and fear that drove them, not this level of murdering hypocracy.
Thank you for the apology, and I accept it with no reservations. This is what is supposed to happen when there is a misunderstanding between two parties.
And I too apologize for reacting with much less grace than I should have. I am so tired of what a certain group of people do to others on these threads and then turn around and accuse them of attacking the actual attackers. This whole week has been awful that way. One of the things they do is if they quote scripture at all, which is minimal, they often take a part of one verse and use it and I was avoiding that in this case. So, yes, maybe there would have been a better verse to use, but I will use this incident with you as a learning experience and a tool to build patience in myself.

A couple of passages I must remember:

James 4:11 -- "Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge of it."
Romans 3:3-4 "What then? If some did not believe, their unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it? May it never be! Rather, let God be found true, though every man be found a liar, as it is written, "THAT YOU MAY BE JUSTIFIED IN YOUR WORDS, AND PREVAIL WHEN YOU ARE JUDGED."

That is a bald-faced lie and you know it! He has said no such thing and to accuse anyone of thinking something - "taking a position" so evil is reprehensible.

No.. I am not lying. anyone can go and read the posts and how I responded at that time, in that thread, to remarks of the same type of accusation

see, here you are accusing me of a supposed bald faced lie and then topping it off with I know that it is a bald faced lie

you should take your advice regarding obeying the word

I have continually tried to keep things on an even keel in the other thread...which can also be seen

Here is one of just-me's posts, #379, in which he references a response to Ben by intimating that Ben is a part of the kingdom of darkness


And Ben wonders why I have him on ignore? I'm not happy about that, but the Bible says "foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes." That's obvious, and I'd rather follow the Word of God rather than succumb to human instinct that the adversary preys on. It isn't easy.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12
I am starting to think that the rhetoric and over the top accusations made by certain folks here are no less a fringe end of Christianity then certain cults who also believe they alone possess any truth worth having and in so doing, refer to Christians who do not adhere to their practices, as of the devil or devilish or having demons

I don't blame you a bit. It's better now, and hopefully it will stay that way. I've been doing a lot of praying.
http://christianchat.com/bible-disc...pharisees-didnt-recognize-26.html#post2307460

Luke 6:28

you have been doing alot of praying

and in that one short phrase you intimate that you are, once again, the bearer of all truth

you have been very unfair in your responses and acting like the supreme being seems to be the norm for folks who believe that works are part of salvation

no matter how many times you are advised that not one single one of us believe that a Christian can go on living any way they wish, you insist we are saying the opposite

IMO, you may be achieving cult status at this point and the verses concerning opposition from believers being used of satan is exactly the type of comment one might expect from a cult type way of thinking

if people do not agree with you, you conclude they are of the devil

"I have continually tried to keep things on an even keel in the other thread...which can also be seen." I noticed. LOL
in all fairness, I have been the op of a few threads and if someone asks questions, well I am going to answer them because I do not think I am the lord of the manor...or the mistress of the manor I guess

come on...he's being a stuck up prig about the whole thing

prig: prig
priɡ/
noun



  • a self-righteously moralistic person who behaves as if superior to others.

so like maybe if he answers people their legitimate questions it would seem he wants an actual discussion and spoon feeding the correct answers, according to him, are not all he actually wants

come on...in a real time situation, he wouldn't be asked for another 'lesson'

we can all learn from each other...I come here because I find it interesting and a good cross section...mind you, if it is an accurate cross section? gadzooks...the dearth of proper and called by God teachers is worse than we might think

Oh good...I see I'm not on ignore

you are truly a very little person

laughing, mocking, basically goading folks on and then mocking again

and the final cherry on top, you reference others with distain and ultimately commend them to the devil


you might look up dispicable also

Above is from this tread. Ridiculing a prayer life.
Below is
from the other thread that you are doing the best you can to hold it together by responding to JamumeJ Wow!! This is sad.

sarcastic much? must be one of the fruits of the spirit I missed


listen: NO ONE HERE HAS EVER SAID THAT WE BELIEVE IN CHEAP GRACE

no one

you folks really have no arguement without distorting and twisting both scripture and the posts made by those who refute what you twist

this is a public forum...my best advice is to go get a wordpress account and then you and just-me et all can have all the privacy you wish

but then how would you beat back the devils hordes if you had no need to do so?

HERE...post 379 as I said...but don't just read the one post

just-me has been baiting Ben ...


what he just now posted, regarding my stating he is a prig, is exactly how he behaved throughout most of that thread

I understand Ben's frustration...it's a long thread, but if you take the time to read it, you will see where Ben appealed to him time after time to please answer him ....hence this thread regarding the ignore button

I have no problem with others in that thread I do not agree with entirely

if you do read, you will see where I actually did try to calm things down...things are not as just-me is trying to say

Taking into account your last two posts aimed at me, I am passing on some advice to you as an older woman to a younger woman. Do your research before you post anything and then make sure you are accurate. Ben and his comrades have been doing exactly what they accuse others of doing and have taught you well to make assumptions about what someone else supposedly thinks. Please take my advice before you dig yourself a hole you can't get out of.

I am fully aware of the meaning of the word, - "you might look up dispicable also"-- including how to spell it.

You are referring to this I presume? From the other thread.

That's obvious, and I'd rather follow the Word of God rather than succumb to human instinct that the adversary preys on. It isn't easy.

you know just-me, you start a thread in which you want to know how you can heap trouble on people you vainly imagine are persecuting you

further, a few folks have pointed out how you want to get Ben and a few others banned

this is a forum

again, you are quite a nasty little fellow IMO

here is the thread I am talking about for reference

here is your opening paragraph:

Stalking for the sake of refuting with nasty name calling and demeaning comments to a person's belief opposed to helping in a Christan manner. Is there a rule against that?

I see this more and more in the Bible discussion forum. It's becoming worse and worse. I would desire for the owner of this site (RoboOp) to PM me and I will divulge 3 names that I have placed on my ignore list. Even after that, the stalking has increased so others who read this or that certain thread will ultimately become discouraged rather than enlightened.
you could be speaking of yourself

anyway, just-me, you have quite managed to make this as personal as you can rather then stay on topic and I have responded to your personal digs

you do that in every thread...you make it personal and then complain when folks have something to say about that

you know, you bring on yourself

And what are you expecting will happen through this thread? The people who will abuse it are clearly not going to listen to you, or anyone else. People who won't abuse it don't need to be told this information.
So far, in the four years I've been on this site, not a single incident, not a single message on how bad it is in here, nothing has deterred people from being closed minded and mistreating others in the BDF. Not even slowed it down for an hour.

People 'abusing' the ignore aren't interested in resolving anything. They're here to be right.

It's like sending a letter to the editor admonishing the people who stole your garden gnomes and pooped in your garden.....those type of people don't read the newspaper.

No, the whole forum knows because I responded when you said this earlier that the holy spirit told me. I have not talked with anyone about you two.

There really was no need to name drop. It isn't a matter of "respecting that", its a matter of false doctrine being propagated and not being allowed to be discussed because they don't want to be open and vulnerable to discuss what they hold to be truth. They wish to keep preaching without being scrutinized, or constructively criticized. They don't want to have a bible study, but rather stay discreet with words of illusion hiding their true intent.

How is it this is a bible study forum and its for discussion and yet someone will ignore you so that it can't be discussed and only one side can present itself? How is that respectful?
its the same stuff

1. The ignore you, but they do not ignore you
2. The ridicule you while your on ignore (and give yuo no means to respond, because they have you on ignore)
3. They are asked questions, most of the time in an even keeled not threatening way, and they either refuse to answer, sideswipe the issue, change the question, or us a strawman in an attempt to not respond to the question, then yell we are staling if we keep asking the same question (that they refuse to answer)
4. Other people see whats going on, so they ask the same questions, maybe (like you and I were doing in a particular thread) in a different way. The same thing happens to them, it gets to the point, the ignore, one, then the other, then everyone who asks the same unanswered questions. And it gets to the point they scream they are being stalked. Or as later in this thread, someone showed, They start to condemn us, and call us things we are not. in yet more strawmen.

So I understand where you coming from, it gets old. And next thing you know you have divided groups (we called them clicks in church) that have lost all means of communication, because they will argue against the others no MATTER WHAT THEY SAY, even if the other person is right, they will still argue against them..

This goes on far to much in this chat room.

With great respect, brother, CC has forced me to look in the mirror and examine my heart. There's obviously a difference between righteous indignation and an un-Christian attitude, and regretfully I was sharing the latter much more so. It is my prayer that God purify my heart so I may rebuke false doctrine and bad attitudes with a heart more loving than indignant, but this is indeed a challenge since Pharisees bring out the worst in me.
