guess what brothers and sisters, folks,.....

ECC. 1:9. - The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done:
and there is no new thing under the sun.

may Love and Peace abound in the here and now.....but alas, satan will have his way,
and the proof is right here in these forums.....

I feel your angst. When error is allowed rampant there is all kinds of confusion...

Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
(Jas 3:13-18)

yes, we hear you Brother Cross,

the pure anguish that we feel when we see the 'anti' mentality for the soul purpose
of causing un-kind feelings and blatant discention, it can only break one's heart to the quick...

Yup, I think there is a certain insensitiveness that goes on here in BDF and I'm not innocent either of it.
Thanks for the heads up.. :)

Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way. I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. Let not then your good be evil spoken of: For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence. It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
(Rom 14:13-21)

The application can be taken further than 'meat and drink'.

Though, at the bottom line, I don't know what you could otherwise expect. This isn't a church, with a Reformed, fundamentalist, Spirit-filled pastor, delivering teaching, a place where the tares don't have a pulpit and must maintain a socially acceptable subtlety. Everybody has a pulpit who can have a login, including cults, who've managed to disguise who and what they are from most people.

There was a time here when Adventists and Armstrongites were pretty much in control of it all, thread after thread. I've never seen any people so apoplectic, as when I exposed they were teaching Ellen White, and that Ellen White was a false prophet. They went ballistic! They threatened me, told me to never mention that name, which was a mistake, preferring not to be pushed around in some ways: it was a challenge that made me want to expose it more. (It screams something they must hide what they're up to, I mean, duh! Adventists are taught not to reveal who they are, to suck people in on the sly, have websites out there that say nothing of who they are, but which covertly push Ellen White.) But they sneak around, hiding who they are, spreading their false doctrines on the sly. The Armstrongites have been a bit more forthcoming, when asked. But, anyway, you can't expect a web forum to operate like a church congregation, unless the sign out front has every denomination and cult name, saying, "Welcome." Then you give everybody a pulpit, to talk at once. See what I mean? But I don't find it any more heartbreaking than the world, at large, don't quite understand being in anguish, over some things that never cease, some people who've not said anything different for months. If the board is causing such problems, I'd leave it for awhile, or for good, as you can't expect everybody who gets a login is, in truth, your born of the Spirit Christian brother and sister, this not even the expectation of the congregation of scripture. Again, this not really even a congregation you'd find hanging together within the same walls.

Going to scripture, neither the Lord nor the apostles were complacent over false doctrines, either. It even requires restraint, to not use New Testament terminology that didn't shrink from calling a spade a spade. Generally speaking, it's not a very nice world, yet, and it's going to get much worse, before it gets better. Some old gentleman in business once said something that stuck, that came out of WWII, some military officer I think it was making it famous, said, "Don't let the so-and-sos (cleaned up) get you down." It's not exactly in the Bible, but, if it were, I wouldn't wonder it's there, good advice, to my mind.
