*bangs head on desk*

ok lemme spell it out for you

Suicidal person: I'm sucidal
Christian: Beat it with Jesus
Suicidal person: ok *prays and reads Bible and really believes that God will save them but nothing happens* Why isn't anything happening...I did everything right...
Christian: Maybe you just don't have enough faith
Suicidal person: There must be something wrong with me. I must be a bad person if Jesus answered your prayers but not mine. I don't deserve to live. God doesn't love me. *goes and sticks a knife in abdomen*
Christian: *stands and watches* killing yourself is a sin.
Suicidal person: *gasping for air*
Christian: It's murder.
Suicidal person: *dies*

I know that was an exaggeration but it's not too far from reality because that is almost what happened with me. Now would your first priority in that situation be to get that person to a better state of mind or to tell them the cold hard truth?

You are painting a scenario upon me that did not happen. Nowhere did we ever go thru you a situation where you were telling me you were going to kill yourself and then I went and ignored you and or did not feel empathic towards you. What happened is that you immediately jumped on me because I disagreed with your OP. Then you tried to make it all about how I am not being sensitive enough. If you were upfront with me about your situation, then I would most certainly express my heart to you in that situation. But by your words in this thread, I was not getting the impression that you were trying to kill yourself. I cannot know how you are feeling unless you actually tell me about your feelings.

You approve of his cowardice, online bravado?

If he spoke to people like that in person he'd be posting from a hospital bed. I'm not impressed.

I wouldn't of reported him. I can take it. We need to understand, if we believe in true Grace, we had better be careful what we report. Because the next person who gets reported is a grace believer that is debating religion in truth that gets reported and banned.

The truth is Jason...youre a bully and my dad taught me to stand up to bullies...especially when they pick on others.
And as long as you keep posting your nonsense here, I will treat it how it deserves to be treated and call it what it is.

actually I jumped on a lot of people because I whole heartily thought that we were going to have a nice conversation about what we liked about ourselves and others and what it means to love ourselves in a Christ-like manner and looking to the Bible and then when I checked CC the next morning I saw that there were 30 replies and when I read them I was completely shocked at what I was reading! I didn't want THAT. I wanted nice things being said. And then it all exploded.

You have got to be kidding. You have done nothing but attack me dear sir. Post after post you attack me on many topics of the Bible. I did not say anything nasty to anyone. If you believed I did, then please show me the post. I would be happy to discuss what you think I said which would be considered as bullying.
 
I love that I am brave.

I love that God has given me a caring and warm heart.

I love my strive to help people.

I love that I am strong for those that need it.

I can imagine your disappointment. It was not my intention to cause you to have a bad day or to get you upset. I merely was expressing that I disagreed with your OP by what the Word of God says. You can be like....

"well... I disagree."

Or you could have been like...

"Well, I think the context of this passage says this instead."

But that is not what happened. We have to understand that not everyone is going to agree with what we say and we cannot control people's conversations. Discussion is full of disagreements. Sometimes they are fruitful and other times they are not. I say that with love.

Anyways, may God bless you.

This.. Yes. This. More of this. More of this understanding please. This is what everyone has been trying to preach. Less threads would be derailed if this approach was used more.
 
Please Stop!!! I am exhausted from hearing people arguing over whether someone said something or didn't say anything. I know you guys better than this and I don't believe this type of attitude is what Christ would want to hear his children treating their brothers and sisters. I am far from perfect and struggle with showing God's love all the time and I know my bible tells me to love one another as God loves each of us that he sent his perfect son to die for our sins. God is love and I do not see that love being portrayed here and I know you all know how. I just want peace and I don't like arguments and please if you can't say anything that does not reflect Christ in you please don't respond.

I am sorry if I passed judgement on any one of you, but he is a God of peace and love and I want to see that here.

That and throw away the constant desire to be right.
 
Dear Sirk:

Also, in your statement on bullying: Well, nowhere do I ever try to make it personal with a person, though. I do not call out a person's name and tell them that they have to do this and that and keep bugging them personally. Nowhere do I seek to get a person to talk about their personal life, etc. Nowhere do I constantly make smart remarks towards them and or make fun of them. I try to speak in a third person way with the Word of God as much as possible. I strive to attack the belief and not the person.

Anyways, please know that I do love you and I say this in love.

In any event, please be well.
And may God bless you.

Sincerely,

~ Jason.
