I came to CC to maybe learn something, what I found was hatred and bitterness, not onlyy toward me but even amongst yourselves,
I witnessed innocent questions being posed, only for the asker to be ripped apart.
One thing that really stood out was, none of the haters ever read what people post,
They search for anything to pic and deride the asker.
I sought to share, what the Holy Spirit has shared, but few would even read the post.
I have been called names that should be offensive, but I find amusing.
After all my Daddy loves me.
the bible in the hands of unschooled children has been a weapon against the tru believvers.
I want to thank those who believe we are savedd by Grace and not of our own doing. Thank you also, for trying to understand, without insults. Remember Noah had to go it alone, Jesus had to go it alone, David was made fun of.
when they speak ill of you you are in good company
I pray Father that you would open the eyes of these folks heart.
To the professors of the word May God lead you out of captivity
to the Possesors of the word may He richly bless you in all your endeavors
HE ROAMS ABOUT LIKE A LION SEEKING WHOM HE CAN DESTROY

Hi Maverick,
I understand how it feels to be attacked unjustly. And so does Jesus. So He can comfort us when we're attacked by others.
I hope you'll reconsider. But I totally understand if you feel you need to leave. God has us all in different places in our walk.
I have a friend who just recently left here and I totally understand everything she said and it's true.
There are a lot of meanies and especially some of the recent new members that have joined. Not that there's not some old timers as well - all could ignite a totally soaked house on fire with their tongues.
Or as James 3 says .... So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things.
See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire! And the tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity; the tongue is set among our members as that which defiles the entire body, and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by hell.
For every species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by the human race. But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison.
With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God; from the same mouth come both blessing and cursing.
My brethren, these things ought not to be this way. Does a fountain send out from the same opening both fresh and bitter water? Can a fig tree, my brethren, produce olives, or a vine produce figs? Nor can salt water produce fresh.
Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.
Maybe this will be a good reminder for all of us. In the Lord we can tame the tongue. If we're truly a believer we need to show it through our love for one another.
Anyway, Maverick, you're not the first who's had this complaint and I'm sure won't be the last either. I hope you'll reconsider, but if not I think we can all understand why you need to leave.
