We can talk about the love and grace of our loving Father and Lord have for us so that us Christians will have the proper nutrients to grow up in Him and have His fruit manifested in and through our lives so that others can see the love and grace our Father and Lord have for all people.

We have a great salvation "in Him". He is mighty to save!

That's too bad and I hope no one wanted her banned. This is the reason for not interacting with some people as we can all get in a Hebrews 12:15 situation.

We can agree to dis-agree without the bad behavior that all of us can get into if our beliefs are challenged.

We will miss her and you too Allen.

Bless you brother and tell her that we love her and one day we will all walk together and speak of the love and grace our loving Father and Lord have for us all.
It does not matter if people wish someone gets banned or not, if that could ban people I am sure I would have been banned a year ago,

people are banned because cause they break the rules.

Engaging in this "who should be banned" nonsense is sowing discord, works of the flesh and divisive.

Carnality in action.

That said I fully expect it to be discussed ad nauseam...

Amen...we love because He first loved us. In everything Christ has the preeminence. Col. 1:18

What He has done and what He is in us is the source of all things of God.

He alone is our life. Col. 3:3

The thing about it is it's normally the same people & nothing is done to them. I have a feeling they befriend the mods so whenever they feel a certain way people are kicked out but that's another story.

Yup ...Just like high school, there are rules to help all the students flourish and grow .... but sometimes students are suspended or expelled.

This comes to mind to those who will defend themselves in their own righteousness...When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her."...John 8:7...

I pray it is not discussed any more, people should say what they think then move on.

A ver good frnd of mine mine here was banned a few months ago, people went after him knowing they would get a response, and inspire of warnings from a few of us for him to go lightly, he broke the rules,

I did not like it, but rules are there for a reason, if people have a complaint, I recommend taking it to the mods..

it goes both ways.

I agree, the rules are there so it is not personal hopefully.

And we should not be discussing it to any great length, it time for closure.

Who can tell me the difference between positional sanctification, and conditional sanctification? I do believe both types are mentioned in scripture?

I agree...and may the Lord grant us the wisdom needed in how to engage others without "creating discord" and promoting bad behavior which we all can get into. It's the flesh acting up.

We will not fulfill the desires of the flesh if we live by the spirit - which is having our minds on Christ and what He has done for us.

None of us walk perfectly in this manner as we all have this brain that the new creation in Christ needs to work through. The renewing of the mind is crucial to walking in the spirit for all of us.

And there needs to be forgiveness for all of us that do live by the flesh from time to time. None of us are manifesting Christ perfectly.

If living by the flesh disqualified us from being with Christ - none of us will be in heaven. Only those from heaven will be in heaven. We are born from above. Thank you Jesus! God our Father has qualified us!

The rules are bent at times
your right, it is also true that a banning is not for one infraction, or it is rare, most banning are caused by a few infractions, each infraction gets you a certain number of points against you,


People need to just trust the mods.

i agree, I have people who have freedom to email me and warn me, but with certain peopl, I just have to ignore, otherwise, I can get just as bad as they are which does no on any good.
