Jimbob my friend.
I have to respectfully disagree with you (shame we can't discuss it over a pint and pork scratchings)
You say this site needs help to survive the onslaught of daily denying God, then you say those denying God based on your understanding of salvation and if people disagree with you then say (or it comes accross this way) they are denying Jesus.
This as we can all see is reversed when it comes to what salvation is. Those who disagree say you are denying Jesus.
As an English fella I'm sure you have heard the saying
"You say potatoe I say potato let's call the whole thing off"
On either side of the fence no one is denying Jesus, they are posting what they understand what salvation is all about and it works in us.
The focus actually is on Jesus and that he is the way of salvation.
Truth is until Christ returns we will not know who is right and who is wrong. Let's be honest one side is right and the other is wrong. One day we will find out.
Will the wrong ones be cast away? I don't think so. God sees the heart.
Jesus is our curse
The death of Christ on the cross was a death of curse: "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree" (Galatians 3:13). The "curse" is alienation from God. This is apparent from the words which Christ will yet speak to those that shall stand on His left hand in the day of His power - "Depart from me, you cursed," He will say (Matthew 25:41). The curse is exile from the presence and glory of God.
To me anyone who genuinely seeks Jesus and wants to be like Jesus then no one can curse them.
However disagreements are not cursing another person. It's just a disagreement, nothing more nothing less.
I actually thank God that you have donated or considering to this site and I don't think your saying you have to make yourself look good. You are just expressing something that you feel that God has laid on your heart to do and just relaying this is how God works in you.
To be honest I have no compunction to donate here (sorry mods) even though I know it's a valuable on-line resource.
If you want my honest opinion the biggest threat to forums/websites like this is not denying Jesus.
To me it is US. We are Jesus followers.
Its how we relate to each other, walk with each other, talk with each other.
There will be people who are on this site who are seeking, looking at what Christianity is all about.
When Jesus summed up 10 commandments in his two commandments what was the main focus.
Love
Luke 10:27
So he answered and said, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ‘your neighbor as yourself.’ ”
Galatians 5:14-15
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!
The absence of love leads to what?
Biting and devouring each other.
No building each other up, just going at each other, tearing each other apart. Being sassy, calling each other names, proving I'm right your wrong.
The biggest threat is absence is love.
John 13:34-35
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
I encourage us ALL to walk in love with each other so that all will see that we are disciples of Jesus.
Sorry for the long post.
Just so you know I love you all and if ever I walk in way that doesn't show it let me know.
But of course in love.
Your brother in Christ
Bill.
Ps if any of you don't know what a pork scratching is, it is
