I don't condone the misuse of these words..... yes, yer letting off steam..... you should have done it privately. This was uncalled for.
You cannot expect "proper" attitudes from a "popular" site..... not gonna happen.
What can we expect from a popular site? Popular teachings (many false), popular lifestyles of modern church members (many sinful), popular trends (worldly), & so on. This is not a church with a pastor & board that keeps spiritual order. This is a public chat site for anyone that minds basic manners.
You cannot simply expect something not holy to act holy. It won't comply. Athiests, Mormons, JW's, hypocrites, & just plain 'ole sinners can't be holy.
Expect only the proper fruit from the proper tree.
Matthew 7:15-20 (KJV) [SUP]15 [/SUP]Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. [SUP]16 [/SUP]Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? [SUP]17 [/SUP]Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. [SUP]18 [/SUP]A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. [SUP]19 [/SUP]Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. [SUP]20 [/SUP]Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

I admit I get angry, I get very angry when someone especially a Christian is attacking someone or judging them because I guess I am very protective and i make sure to tell them what they are doing is wrong and that I will not stand by and let them do this.
Of course I regret it afterwards but i dont know if there is such thing as righteous anger. My anger was out of protection and love but still I cannot see that as righteous or justified in any way.
even the most loving and humble Christians have that one weak spot that makes them infuriated, but don't make the same mistake I did and act on that anger because even if you did it for a good reason you will regret it afterwards. God has righteous anger because he is righteous but us?

Most of your reply made sense except for condone the use of what words? and exactly what was uncalled for? Maybe you meant some of the personal remarks made directed at me instead of taking the scripture approach. You at least made an effort to tell me your thoughts in a civil way. Maybe we are not to use dam and hell in any context maybe I'm missing something. I see corrupt and ravening wolves related to men correct? So why cant I use damn and hell in the proper context of damnation. Don't the dammed go to hell? if you put a hyphen between dam isn't nation the only portion of that word left? In anywise this is not the direction I anticipated yet it seems to be the direction it was drug to. Peace to you.
Pastac, I learned long ago that if I want to see the perfect, I will not see it in others, for we all fall short.
We are called to seek Him who is perfect, Jesus Christ is Lord come in the flesh.
The amazing thing is?
That when I look first and always to Jesus, that His perfect shines brightly in all who seek Him, it is then that one sees the perfect in all who seek Jesus.
First we see darkly through the mirror, then we shall see face to face!
For there are three things that last, faith, hope and love, the greatest of these being love.
God bless

Cry LOUD and spare not or keep silent. And I have to do that humbly and with no regard for my well being! Whew I wonder is it worth it sometimes then I remember. My trial sermon twenty years ago my wife attended with me she was moved by the word the Lord spoke through me and gave her life to Christ because I was obedient to his word and did not keep silent.
I am still married to her still love her and still not keeping silent.
I can't risk not trying to reach souls because folks get offended for that I pray earnestly. Jesus has the most profound effect on many and has yet to affect some due to the sin infection. I love the Lord whole heartily not to suggest others don't, and try to stay focused on his leading. I will continue to believe one man can make a difference, his name is Jesus and I am his servant as are you,I thank you for your words.
After I posted, I could not help but consider that the frustration you feel and speak to, is maby a small taste of the same that God Our Father felt for us all.
Consider, all that He created for us, all He gave to us, from the garden of eden to His comandments, all are made in the love He has for us.
Yet again and again, we continued to sin, to reject Him, His love.
So what did God do?
He loved us even more, by sending His son, Jesus , to suffer the cross for us, taking all our sins upon Himself for our sake, because of the love God Has for us.
And yet, we still fail , so He set His gift of grace upon us, so sin would not have any hold on us.
Yes there is much more, obedience ,speaking truth, repentance, perfect love.
And yet as Paul explained, it is in our weakness, that God's power is made perfect, glorified!
For His love surpasses all we can even imagine.
For He works all things to His good perpose.

For the record
Maybe its me I don't know but the Nation in which we live the city or state seems to be allowing more and more of the worlds ways and less and less of God ways. When thousands upon thousands of Christians don't believe anything is wrong with watching the walking dead the vampire diaries or any other godless show then I only see room for desensitizing the work of Christ for pleasure. Imagine that Christians watching that stuff thinking its ok and not affecting their walk! Wow. And that's called entertainment. I choose to live as separate as I can and I am selective very selective of what I feed my Spirit and even I may not get it right but my efforts surely don't include demonic influences that I can clearly see. But that is Just me and my calling.
When its ok for men to seek men to marry or women to seek women to marry I ask myself is this headed towards damnation? When hiv comes into the church from the pulpit we see the pulpit is not safe yet when one truly defends it they are met with ridicule and opposition.
This world is in bad shape if you look at any new report ebola, suicide bombers,wars, rumors of wars, famine, sickness and disease and many argue over how to fix it. Some don't even take a stance but slap those who do. This finger is pointed at the author of these problems. the devil ,satan, the enemy for anyone who is reading this he is the enemy not me or any other brother or sister. We are called to fight I do so with honor and integrity and fearlessness traits I did not always have. Yet I too had a Saul moment in my life and became who I am now. Gods servant pastac.

Peace to you
It is heartbreaking to see the world's, flesh's hold on those who do not know Jesus.
Yet, scripture does say that God created the world with His wisdom.
When I first saw this scripture I was puzzled, but then as we are asked, I accepted in faith His word, and His peace filled.
Many here argue about which matters, isit all about one thing or another?
I wondered myself, then I came across a scripture that explained it all.
Some He called through understanding, thus making a differance.
Some He called through rightousness, despising the flesh that clings.
I saw then that it is not about what I decided, but God's work done in us and through us.
That yes we are called to serve and speak, but we need always to remain mindful, that it is His power, knowladge and love at work, through us.
We are but faithful servants, trusting all in Jesus to Him.
For we walk by faith, not by sight.
mind bogleing isnt it, to realise, it is not we who hold His mind , but His mind that holds us, providing all needed, as needed, for His good perpose.
