I do agree with most of your comments..although most of them are directed just for my pleasure. lol
Well in that case then you need to grow up and stop acting like a childish troll and start being a mature gentleman for once in your life pwrnJC.
I do agree with most of your comments..although most of them are directed just for my pleasure. lol My response to "if you don't have something constructive to say to these people, why reply at all?" is: "if these people have nothing better to say than complain about their personal affairs, why post at all!" The old fashioned way was to 'take it to the LORD in prayer". I guess today's technology of having the internet takes the place of it. Instead of our Heavenly father taking care of our issues, the best thing is to announce it to the world, full of total strangers and hope they give answers that we think we need to hear.
So what are you saying then that I have nothing better to do than complain about my personal affairs?
I thought this was a Christian
family forum where someone could post something about their actual personal affairs after all isn't family the most personal thing there is?
I wasn't asking for an grand convention be organized on an International scale. A brother is not allowed to ask for a little pain relief and Godspeed in getting a bad tooth sorted with his Christian family now?
I see what you are saying about the whole technology/internet thing today but you shouldnt assume that people all people are like that or that someone is for posting on the forum here about their ailments what have you.
There really are better ways of going around things than taking an immature, condescending and sarcasting tone and trashing people for it. Who are you to trash talk me in the 2nd person? I never gave my permission for you to do that. Not cool man. God bless you with some coolness brother.
...stay tuned in for another real life adventure story folks. Today, an infected tooth, tomorrow, a stumped toe, and by the end of the week, we will have a large mosquito bite to worry over! No matter the pain, it usually ends up in this forum! Last week, a prayer was posted to the world asking GOD's favor in choosing a puppy for a pet. THere was even a post from someone claiming to be a CHRISTIAN, with a CHRISTIAN boyfriend, who attends the same church, but enjoys having sex so much because they 'love' each other since GOD put them together and they wanted to know what they could do to insure GOD's favor. Are we really supposed to be 'nice' and pretend that this is NORMAL for CHRIST followers? My bible says "Open rebuke is better than love concealed."
Well all I said was why does God make it hurt so much?
Why are you contributing other peoples affairs to me making a post having a little moan about my toothache? And all those things bar the last one are pretty serious things. A mosquito bite can turn nasty fast especially a large one! A stumped toe can put you off work for weeks if not attended to properly and can effect the way you walk/run for the rest of your life and any normal and loving Christian family in my books, (in my bible) would show some sympathy (at the least) and have compassion and we can all make a quick prayer about it and it get sorted much faster.
Any Christian forum in my opinion would welcome peoples posts on their ailments or medical issues no matter how small, after all, I thought, that was why this whole forum section was set up in the first place to chat about anything with Christians?
I get what you are saying but
YES you are supposed to be "
NICE" that is the whole point my friend and no you are not to
PRETEND. Who has told you that you ever needed to pretend about anything? That is something YOU are doing not something Christ has told us to do. Christ has said to love one another its the most important of all things. Not to judge and to show love as He has loved us, what love has a greater friend than he who would lay down his own life for him? I tell you the truth; whoever is greatest is least and whoever is least is greatest.
I feel where you are coming from my friend but I also feel like you have a ways to learn just how deep Gods love is for His people. If you saw those gay people, the way that God sees them, they way that He sees you, your voiced opinion would be quite quite different. You wouldn't get mad about it, you wouldn't spew any hate or sarcasm about it, you wouldn't let it effect you because you know that everyone is at different walks in their life with God and because you know that all these things exist because of satan going back in the garden of Eden and that as it was in the beginning so shall it be in the end because he makes all things work together for the good of those that love God and that He will bring us to the finish line in His time not in YOUR time! You can take that to the bank!
The verse you refer to being
Proverbs 27:5 The original
KJV version is "
Open rebuke is better than secret love."
The phrase you have used "
Open rebuke is better than love concealed" is not in
any version of the bible so I am not sure what bible version you are using? I think this is a good example of you getting a little too far ahead of yourself son.
But you have also taken this verse out of context too. It does not meant you should openly rebuke someone for their sin! I repeat; it does NOT mean this. Open rebuke is better than secret love. This is to be understood, not of rebuke publicly given; though you think public reproof is meant, which, arising from love, is better than that which is done in secret, though in love, as being more effectual; for rebuke among friends should be given privately, according to our Lord's direction,
Matthew 18:15; Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
We tell a person in love, the same love of Christ when a person is doing wrong. Then we pray for them and leave it with God. All we have to do is plant the seed. Let God provide the sun and the rain.
I'm feeling much better thanks for asking.
