If a friend is lying and calling people names, would you say something or would you turn a blind eye?
I would respectfully as much I could say something..still don't know how this relates to me saying its wrong to lie and name call.

You know I love you tin.....but I really dislike bullies. Especially spiritual ones....they are the worst kind in my opinion. They do more damage to people's hearts than anyone else. I like calling them out.
best to ignore...I guess they have nothing better to do
They do a lot of damage to people....the ones who have a compulsive desire to control others for whatever their pet purpose is.
They don't usually come to these kinds of threads. I wonder why?
[TD="width: 820"]Heresy Hunters – Judging OthersThe following is a reply to an email amongst friends concerning heresy hunters, those who denounce other Christians as being heretics (false: prophets, apostles etc.) because they hold different non-essential Christians doctrines than them.
You asked, ‘There are people who have different view points. Are they entirely wrong?’ Yes and no, case by case differs. Look at the Kings of Israel and Judah, some were good, some were bad, some were good and then bad, others were bad and then good, whilst some kept tottering between the two opinions! Simon the sorcerer from Acts 8 was converted and baptised in a time of revival, BUT his heart was not right. Peter sussed him out, as he wanted to purchase the impartation of the Holy Spirit with money and told him to repent.

long article, but interesting regarding the harm done by people who think they have some kind of calling to find fault with everyone but themselves

Another thread filled with bitterness and dissension ... how novel.

Did I just read 4 pages about heresy, without one single Scripture on anything?
Maybe we need to ask RoboOp if he would start some kind of "Opinion" Forum and we could discuss things like this, instead of clogging up the BIBLE Discussion Forum with this sort of nonsense.
If someone posts something heretical, then it is incumbent upon us to search the Scriptures, to see what they say about a topic. That doesn't require any name calling or bitterness, that I can think of.
I just wish we could post Bible Scriptures and discuss them. Instead of personal fighting and attacks!
"But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction." 2 Peter 2:1
"For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough." 2 Cor. 11:4
PS I might have missed a verse or two. No way I was going back to double check!

Excellent idea. We could call it the Cheese and Whine Lounge.
Why make fun of it? When someone feels something, they actually feel something. We should afford them at least that. Let's be mature about it
