Hi Blue,
I was in the thread when Fran was banned. I saw her posts, that's why I said I think she felt ganged up on. What does one do when they are ganged up on. They throw the lot of those on top of them off so that they can breathe and don't get crushed from the weight of it all.
I didn't read her saying that, but yeah, that's serious. But was she banned for that one comment or for the whole of her posts right before she got banned. We just don't know. Maybe she was talked to and asked to stop and she was unwilling. We just don't know, but my guess is that those who are banned are warned and given the opportunity to change. But I'm speculating here and we all are because we're not the moderator who booted the person out. When I see how long it takes sometimes for people to be banned, I'm sure that the moderators here ere on the side of kindness, love and patience.
But again, it's still wrong to compare another person to a banned person. Even if you believe that you should keep it to yourself. I'm surprised that you don't see this. You call Fran nasty and then say that loveme1 is probably a nice person. And you're comparing the two as the same?
Ask yourself if comparing loveme1 to Fran out loud to the world of CC and beyond is loving, kind, gentle or patient? Love doesn't dishonor others, it's not easily angered and it doesn't keep a record of wrongs.
Do you consider her a sister in the Lord? Correct her in love - show scriptures for her error.
Do you consider her an enemy of the cross? Love her into the kingdom.
But don't attack the person.
And consider.......does anyone of us have all of the truth? Can we be in error? Are we teachable? Can God use someone here to help us see the light of truth more clearly?
And again, let's say we are right on any given topic.......how can we help someone see the truth? What scripture might help them? In what way can I help? Are we praying for those we think are in error. Is our motivation love?
