I've mainly been in the chat rooms, but apparently I've been missing out on a lot by not participating here.

12,000 posts in less than two years? Impressing.

I make an average of twenty posts a day :D

I cannot imagine hanging out in the chat rooms...

I mean, I like talking and all, haha, though I don't always have anything to say, but I like the discussion board format, even if I do not always like what goes on here.... that is part of the beauty of it: I get to choose what level I participate at :D Plus there are other aspects about the written post over speaking that appeals to me...

Welcome to the discussion boards, Johnjo!

when I made my statement about being peaceful...yes I did mean.... peaceful arguments rather than harsh criticism

...constructive criticism rather than arguing as with fiery darts that make the other person feel inferior about God

I'd like to say that I try to be cautious when I argue and if I am rude I shall say sorry...and when I am insulted I shall be peaceful but it is hard and I'm human....please forgive me if I retaliate because harsh words are what I try to avoid...I'd rather swallow a ball of ice than throw a fiery dart at someone...that's me not anyone else...I impose nothing on no one except

I think we can get along better and be better leaders and witness and do God's will better if we can (example) help each other rather than hurt each other in harsh words

If this is the "I suppose" made reference in a recent email message, it means I have been caught...God bless you.

this subject is addressed every week or so.........and has been for years and years............ :) just saying......

When you get up to about 2,000 posts counts, and have contributed to several Threads/Discussions by giving your interpretation of Scripture............AND SEEN THE RESPONSES YOU GET..............get back to me ............

:)

In a Congregation, this idea/concept SHOULD be followed, but, even there, disputations arise. Even the Disciples had disputations (recorded in the Book of Acts).

But I'm glad you feel that way..............STRIVE to hold on to it!

respectfully said:
I think this subject needs to be addressed. let me get straight to the point. when a person says offensive things to you maybe even insulting your integrity ... it is natural to get mad back and want defend yourself and say "that is not true" I am not an evil person...I am a kind person...yes and sometime we will have to defend our integrity

but what about that peaceful person who is learning about God and has his doctrine slightly wrong....maybe he's slight conceded...or slightly pridefu...or slightly high minded...do we teach love and respect with forcefulness?
do we lash out with harsh judgements or even slightly harsh judgements
no...we are Christians (Christ-like) okay and if we have to follow Jesus' example we should not attack we should be peaceful...
we should have compassion....

Galations 5:22-23
but the fruit of the Spirit is love joy peace lonsuffering gentleness goodness meekness temperance against such there is no law.

Mathew 7:1 judge not and you will not be judged...
romans 3:23 for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God

Arguing, debating, discussing. We have different opinions. We try to make others understand things from our point of view. That is sort of the purpose of the forum, isn't it? People should refrain from insulting each other, true.

No, the purpose of the forum is to understand God's point of view. The fighting usually stems from wanting OUR point of view to be understood and then agreed with.

But our opinions differ as to what the Lord's point of view is. None of us are as smart as he is. I do think we need to be respectful of those who disagree with us.

Brother, it seems op was pointing out name calling and belittleing. Debate is one thing, but hillary and donald, was total disrespect for other party. Maybe the op meant the bad behavior in the debating.

[SUP]19 [/SUP]Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
[SUP]20 [/SUP]For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
[SUP]21 [/SUP]Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
[SUP]22 [/SUP]But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. Matthew 5:19-22

I'm not disagreeing with you on the first two sentences.

On the third sentence? Respect is earned. Mannerly is good though.

My line in the sand is when the disagreement is trying to teach another gospel. Should you respect the teachings of the JWs? Mormons? WoF? It's all about remembering the POV needs to be God's POV, not ours.

Haha! What if we don't care to "earn" someones respect?

But we should all as Christians be seeking also to earn respect? Our points of view should seek to win men and women by arguments from Scripture based on sound spiritual reason, and that should earn respect if not agreement

God doesn't condemn arguments but His wrath upon false teachers who shut out the Kingdom of Heaven against others is going to be fierce beyond imagination.

I agree with you.


Clearly this is a sign of the apocalypse.
