Reprehensible that someone posts something as original, when it is stolen from someone else, by the way!

Sources need to be documented. Yet, you have told a BIG lie, when you leave off the source, and could even be sued for stealing copyrighted material!!

I'll take the time to remind the brethren that some of us literally have been shunned for faith in Jesus. And it's a horrible position, shut out of the lives of families and friends and treated like you don't exist. It's not a place to wish anyone to be and it's only bearable by God's grace.

This is meant to be a place of honest fellowship and support among the saved. Can't we take SOMETHING a little serious instead of dragging everything through the mud?

Honest persecution isn't something to joke about. There's people out there hiding in their very soul for the sake of Christ and it can be a very painful and dark place. Can't we all just have SOME kind of support and encouragement for the brethren instead of this horrid prideful attitude that appears to be so rampant around here? Can't we have SOME mutual respect?

Many here are pretty good in their conduct toward others. There are a few with a reputation of never saying anything nice about the church. Such things tend to become a self fulfilling prophecy.

Christ is coming after an ekklesia without spot or blemish. Change and repentance takes hard work, a conscious effort that few will undertake. Many seem to think the Christian community needs no repenting. Herein lies the problem. A well person needs no physician. Jesus had the same problem with the religious hierarchy of the 'church' in Jerusalem.

I am more kind than Jesus!! I haven't called folks snakes yet.......maybe I should! Withholding the truth can be just as sinful as any sin I reckon.
Devon don't you ever sin?? Yep! 'Bout every 5 minutes. Here's the difference. I hate it. I deplore it when I mess up. Seems many on this site justify it playfully. No big deal. But I bet if you could see Jesus standing in the room, the garbage would stop!
You know I'm right about it though you'll keep on hammering me as misguided. So let it be!

It should be considered a compliment to be "shunned" by at least a dozen people here we could all easily name.

Repentence takes hard work? And here I thought the Holy Spirit called us to repentance. I wonder if you have been broken before the cross. That is repentance....a change of heart and knowing deep down that you need Jesus to save you.

Let me correct you. Repentance means to change your mind...about everything. Walking the walk is empowered by Christ but you must keep your mind staid on Him. There's the rub. Keeping your sites on Christ. Satan will use anything and all to mess that up. To endure hardness takes a settled determination. If you don't think there's a battle to be fought and a war to be waged at times, I'm sorry for you. I don't think you've made yourself a target yet by departing from evil.
Target means that you'll be hit hard from time to time. Tribulation works patience and a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory!
If you are not a target than I doubt your salvation.

If we are all shunned and shunning as some idealistic mark of a genuine christian then how do we get anything done as a body?
