The heresies of the few

[Utah]

Do you really think that some people are purposely trying to irritate you.

You have no idea how sadly the answer to your question is yes.

Stick around a while. You'll see.

Ya...I felt the same. As I have thought about that and prayed about I have come to realize that it is more my problem...insecurities etc...than it is theirs.

Im proud of you.

I really don't think I will be sticking around. Thanks for the advice though.

I have only had what I consider a minor issue with you at that time.
I was already dealing with a lot on my plate when I put you on ignore, and I think for the most part it had to deal with you were siding with those couple I have a major issue with on here.

There are those that don't agree with me on here, but for the most part the debating still stays friendly and respectful.
There is only 3 on here now that have constantly got under my skin by how they have treated me and others. Not one of them has ever apologized to me, and constantly refuse to admit that they might be the one who is wrong. Instead they act as if they are never wrong and accuse others of being false teachers.

I would at least like to hear them say one time at least; Let me look into what you have said.
At least then it would show they have an open mind and are not just shutting everybody out, because they believe every whim and word that was taught to them by another individual.....Test the spirits, test the spirits !!!

I get it man...and I am sorry if I caused you pain. I really mean that. In the end all of us want to be significant and to matter. That is what community is about. We just have to get to....we matter because Jesus says we matter. Living in a community with the common cause of modeling Jesus to a broken world is what should make us feel like we matter.

I don't think they are interested in what you counter with! I think they just want to clutter the board.

Anything you answer with serves their disruptive purpose.

The solid biblical truth works both ways to......

As I have given solid biblical truth in the past, and even broke it down to make it easier for others to understand.
Just like I did with James 5:19-20 just a day ago and how the Strong's and Thayer's Greek study guides show how the Greek word for soul (psuche) is used in this passage. Saved from eternal death, but yet it was still rejected !!!

There are heretics and people who are not open to the word of truth here who act like babies with their name calling and mockery and their banding together in cliques to drown out the truth that some have brought (originally with gladness). They appear to be complacent in the Sunday School lessons they have received and do not seem to have gotten much farther than that. God has so much more for people than milk.

Preach it Sister!

Ok im thinking of making t-shirts, EMBRACE THE GRACE. i vote blue

I vote purple.

 

[InSpiritInTruth]

Well, sir, in CC we all have a platform, but you think yours is the only one, it seems. Your truth is not necessarily THE truth, but you seem to be oblivious to that. You may just need to hear it more than 500 times.

LOL! You go girl!

Do you think that you could be found guilty of doing the same thing that you have commended Nancy for pointing out?

 

[Utah]

Well I am sorry if you felt that way, as I get real emotional when defending God's word.
Sometimes it gets the best of me and I will seem a little harsh, yet I still refuse to bring myself to calling others names, belittling and demeaning them, and even going as far as condemning them.

I came here because I believed this was a Christian site to talk about God's word, but instead of friendly debating and showing of love. I have seen more hatred and misuse of scripture to rebuke others then I have ever seen in the Christian community, besides the ones everybody has seen on the news that clearly teach hate doctrine.

I have almost left here twice because of such unloving behavior going around, but the Holy Spirit keeps pulling me back to do God's work here..........

Don't leave, Ken. You're a big inspiration to me. Not many people can believe so differently than I believe yet show so much love doing so.

What a wonderful loving thread. Once again Us against them attitude. Do you really think that some people are purposely trying to irritate you. You think you have all the answers but you sound just like the people you are putting on ignore. This I believe has been the most hateful forum I have ever been on. You people think you are the upper class of Christians and no one can join your social group unless they follow you like little puppies wagging their tails in happiness just to be near you.

I have tried to be polite and show love as much as possible like our Lord and Savior would want me to do. Sometimes saying enough is enough and people just need to grow up and quit acting like children. This goes for anyone that isn't in your social group as well.

I'm pretty sure maybe you have me on ignore but I really feel you people on this forum just like to argue to hear yourself argue (or see). It is disgusting and sickening and you aren't edifying anyone but yourselves. If each one of us can't see that each of us are doing the same thing to each other then we aren't humbling ourselves.

I really hope their aren't unbelievers here who are seeking the Lord and seeing this bickering amongst ourselves. I am a moderator of another forum and I can tell you we don't allow this type of behavior from either side.

I have been a member of pagan boards, atheist boards and I don't see this much hatred and bickering coming from them as I see here.

Why is it that Christians can't stand to be around each other on forums? I bet Satan is having a blast seeing us attack each other. We wouldn't treat non believers like this. I truly hope you don't witness to people the way you do here because no one is going to plant any seeds at all.

Like I said, this is for everyone on this forum, not just the ones who disagree with me. If we aren't on this forum to edify God then there really is no point at all being here. We are only edifying ourselves.

God Bless.

Galatians 5:19-21 ESV

Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Amen to that!

No problem as I know how things go.
One of those 3 I mentioned I actually have had some good debates with when it has been pretty much one on one, but then when others have come in his whole demeanor changed and in come the swarm of hateful attacks.

Kind of how Peter at first acted nice to Gentile believers until Jewish believers came around, then he treated them badly and ignored them until Paul called him out for this wrongful behavior.....

Whut Elduh Floyd says, tooo. I jus' sticks Ding Dong in hiz mouth from Mini Mart. He get reeel quiet, mercy!

Mercy, mercy. . .from da Mini Mart.

Here is what I have seen since being on this site, and that is the hate, belittling, demeaning, and condemning words from some to others seem to always come from the ones who believe they have the whole truth and constantly call others names and false teachers.

Instead in love, kindness, and friendly manner just give the truth from the Word of God.
If a person is doing all of the above I mentioned it can be safe to say they do not have God's truth, because His truth states we are to walk in love, mercy, and forgiveness; Not hatred, pride, and self-righteous I am better than you style behaviors....

Speak it bro! Amen!

I think it chases the bad attitude away. If someone is pushing you do you push back or get out of the way? Seems to me there is this biblical principle of turning the other cheek.

You are right, of course! I try to refrain from nastiness and name calling; but when others respond to my posts as if they had not read them, the only workable alternative to nastiness seems to be ignore.

 

[kennethcadwell]

Don't leave, Ken. You're a big inspiration to me. Not many people can believe so differently than I believe yet show so much love doing so.

Thanks for that but give God the glory for how His Holy Spirit works in and through me.
If it were not for Him I would not be the way I am !!!

 

[InSpiritInTruth]

And really? Name Calling? Are we back in grade school?

Ya right? Don't let their venom get in your eyes. LOL

You're definitely nicer than me. I grew up in a world where you had to push back. If you didn't you'd get run over. It's my default position.
