Rob is a troll. He starts a thread with the intention of wasting people's time. Bob answers Rob's op sincerely. Rob laughs and thinks he's hooked another fool. But then comes Jerry, who reads Bob's post and finds Bob's words speak to him. And so, thru Bob's sincere response to Rob's tomfoolery, Jerry becomes enlightened. Even if Jerry himself never posts a word (10 character minimum of course ;) ).

Should Rob's thread be banned and closed? Or do we allow for God to work thru even the likes of Rob for the Jerrys of this world?

Nothing personal, RitchieUK, but that's what this sounds like to me. You take Rob too personally.
wow you made a thread in my honor? hehe at least get my name right its richie_2uk. lol He didnt get to me personally nor did I take him personally. All I was doing was in a sense airing my views. abot a persons banned thread, what the point keeping a thread alive if the OP has been banned? Hence if you had read my post you would of seen I was encouraging people to pray for him, and not to be too much against him, for he may be crying out for help and his actions may be wrong but its his way of expressing his cry. we dont know, but on the other hand, there are those who purposely enjoy causing trouble and wastes people's time. But thanks for opening a thread in my honor hehe. Perhaps you may have taken what I say personally. who knows? I was expressing my views, just as much as everyone else was.
 
Are you talking about the guy that PM'd me today challenging my walk with God?

Did anyone else get that?
yes i was bombarded questions upon questions with his finger pointing at me. He only stopped when I asked him a question.
 
Philippians 1:15-19
15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,


Doesn't really pertain to the conversation right now, but the OP reminded me of this set of verses.
 
i never get random pm's from trolls. i guess i'm not cool enough.

or maybe i'm too cool

Trolls are people too. We just wanna be loved and matter...that's all.
