Oh I think we can find a couple of examples right here on this forum. Look for somebody accusing other people of being bullies.

yeah it figures. You really wanna go there? I've been open and willing totalk with anybody. I also know the treatment I've gotten IN MY LIFE, but if you must go there, yeah, it's happened here as well. By God's grace, I've risen above it and moved on. I've always been willing to talk with you too, lynx, and never had a gripe with you, so if you got a problem, would you be willing to discuss it like men, and hopefully resolve things like brothers in Christ, like Jesus would have us? Or are you of the bunch that just likes to throw stones and run and laugh with the gang? The thread was an opp. to air a general gripe, not a personal attack. Jesus loves you, too, shouldn't that count for something?

Like Charcoal to smoldering embers and dry wood to a fire, so a hot tempered man kindles strife. Both in way of starting the strife by foolish proclamations and, ironically, by way of answering the person needing correction--wrongly.

When we, by way of laying aside the Holy Spirit, gather our right to respond we tie the stone to our sling-shot and honor the fool not correct him, becoming what we attempt to correct. God wants to correct, and he wants us not to; demands not to. This way you are confidently in peace, slow to speak, and yet purposefully answering the man, and also ironically not perfect yet yourself only working toward it. You need to answer him within God's guidance to reconcile the man, and address him in an unpretentious way of the Holy Spirit to remark to his conscience, so as may best end the debate.

Gods way to win thru us is our lost rights and adopted truths, not only for the betterment of the one you are in front of but equally for the one in front of God you know best between the two....this is life in motion,and the real need of a love answer should have a right to stand up, by you living rightly.

We ourselves need that unconditional love to exist over all things in our needs as we care to help those needs in others, we need people to love us when we have a moment. For people to correct us thru God's Word in love when we contend a grind in it..... Use Gods love, live Gods love, be Gods love, always accepting Gods love. This is where He's headed, and yet all the way He is all and in all, will we bow to that in how we act?

Say what? I don't have anything against you man. I did have a couple people on the forum in mind, but you weren't one of them. If anything I said connected with you it's a surprise to me more than to you.

Oh, my bad. ;)

I also hate passive-aggressive tendencies. You're mad, but you're too scared to fully show it, so you act like a child by giving a silent treatment.

Sometimes, I don't understand adulthood when grown-adults want to act like children.

Here are a couple of examples. Someone runs a red light and hits your car, then claims it was your fault. The neighbor's kid throws a rock and breaks out your window on your house, then when you tell the parents, they deny it happened and try to start a fight with you.

Lynx. I am sooooo sorry, brother. I knew the moment I started typing my first post on this thread I was making a mistake. Then, and youre right, I took a subsequent post or two personally, and my old self revived and ran with it. I did say in my opener that my biggest annoyance was not being the man I should, and hope I can, be. I should've shut up right there, but NOOOOOOO! I gotta go gettin all squahlmy about it, and I dont even know what that means!!! All I know to say to anybody thats true is Jesus loves you. I think I oughta just post that over and over til He comes, but I'd probably find a way to mess that up, too. lol. I feel like the kid at the chalkboard....I will not make any more missteaks, I will not make any more missteaks, I will not.....
Seriously, sorry lynx. And dan and shiney and ole and max and M's and slave, (although i got lost about halfway thru your post, slave, its just been that kind of day), and anybody else that was around at the time that I may have caused to go...HUNH??? (I blame it on magenta, I was having a purple flashback.) Yeah, ... That's it! I was all purpled up. ;)

Aaah, shaddup! I'm KIDDING, Molly, only kidding. God bless you, you are right. 2000 years ago, one of the last things our wonderful Lord an Saviour Jesus did before going to the cross for our sins, was to pray for our us to be united. As brothers and sisters in love. United with each other in Him in the Father. ..."Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on Me through their word; That they all may be one; as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in Us; that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me." (pls read John17) And we've spent the last 2000 years dividing each other up. We must be nuts! Father in heaven, thank you for your grace, mercy, and long-suffering towards us. Help us to see you, Lord, and to see ourselves as you would have us, ... Born-again children of the true and living God. ..."And I have declared unto them Thy name, and will declare it, that the love wherewith Thou hast loved Me may be in them, and I in them." (17:26)
Praise the Lord! Thank you Jesus! Amen.

No worries bro. I was just a bit confused. But I was born confused and it got worse from there, so I'm used to being confused. ;)

I'll tell you what annoys me. Disrespectful children..and there are a lot of them nowadays. The reason my wife decided to divorce me was because I held her children accountable for their actions and she defended their bad behavior with excuses. I ran into her former employer at the daycare where she worked and she told me that she and her husband didn't know how I hung in there as long as I did. I was constantly called names, told to eff off almost daily...and just for little things like....please pick up your shoes or please take out the garbage. Disrespectful children run a lot of households I am afraid.....it's "Lord of the flies" everywhere.

This was actually part of the message at church last night. It was about selflessness, but one way to practice it is to choose that longest line at the grocery store.

For all the soulmate searchers.. The gal (or guy) that's customer #19 just might be the one God sent for you? And He sends you to be customer #20? You never know.
