I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that this Thread is not going to be considered one of the more "edifying" Threads here on CC..........

The problem with "biting humor," is that sometimes it comes back to "bite" you......
Nevertheless....

ALL things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to his purpose.

In ALL these things we are made more than conquerors through Jesus Christ who loves us!

Sorry my sister, you call it provoking . . .

I call it defending against a jerk*** attitude.
Which jerk*** attitude is acceptable? And how do we determine which isn't? Surely there must be a higher code that isn't being taught. I can count, without even looking back, five jerk***es on this thread. (Yes, me included.)

So jerk*** to jerk***, why isn't his acceptable but ours are? And we aren't even the biggest jerk***es on this thread, but some others have had the freepass so long, they don't even need to wear it around their necks. The other hasn't been addressed at all. I'm not even sure the necklace was ever needed.

Why him, yet not the rest? What is the standard, because I'm really tired of the hidden codes on this joint. How can we conform if we don't even know the rules? And shouldn't it be posted for the newbies?

Speak for yourself. A jerk I'm not.

He never denied he had a curt attitude. He even explained that he has a hard time being sociable.

Honest to goodness, I got where he was coming from. Because he was honest, because he wasn't in denial about being weak in the flesh, because he was sincerely seeking more of Christ, I must have totally overlooked any fault in him. I only saw a young man in pursuit of God.

Oh well..... *sigh*

I like the fact you guys embrace him; it's Christ-like for sure, but I have better things to do than coddle 39 year olds who enjoy causing strife. You guys know I'm abrasive, but when kilden who is a wonderful sister in Christ gets in a twist, that speaks volumes to the issue at hand.

Speaking of "attitudes", I want to let mine show, and state right here, that I have never -- not even once -- disappointed God!
(Those of you reading the book I just recommended will know why I claim this as you get to the end of the book.)

Why on earth would someone who was in pursuit of the truth be banned? Even God says, Come as you are. At least he spoke from his heart and he wasn't deceptive. Lord knows, we sure can use more honesty and humility around here.
Hallelujah! Now WHERE have I heard that 'Come as you are' thingy before? Oh, I remember. Silverwings threadOP! It's nice to see that sentiment receiving 'likes' now!

Noooooooo. Hunh! Ya don't say! Wow, Who'da thunk it?! Where's this little pearl of wisdom been hiding all this time. Have you been holding out on us? What other gems of genius are you keeping from us? Come on, sage elephant, share those peanuts! ;)

(Sometimes I wish sarcasm was a font, :p )

Your words on this subject --

And your point is? That saying something true makes you a jerk? Lol

I don't allow others to put labels on me. I define who and what I am.

Please reconsider. You're a very interesting member and always have something pertinent to contribute.
No. It's decided. I've seen how everyone feels. Whatever. I don't need those kinds of stumbling blocks on my journey. They think they are right, I think I am. It'll never get settled. It is what it is. They won't miss me and I won't miss them. It's all even.

If only people were as quick to rush to each other's aid when times are good opposed to when they feel slighted in the least, you Christians would truly be a force to be reckoned with. May all your journeys be fruitful.

Besides YIG, you're the only other jerk*** I know that brings forth a bad attitude, then starts a thread complaining about people responding negatively to your bad attitude. That's why his attitude is being discussed, because he started the thread.

The difference for me is that you and I spoke privately and called for a truce whereby we now respect one another and actually correct one another in love when needed. That's why we can call each other jerk**** and it will no longer harm our unity in Christ.

I'm personally not there yet with YIG but I offered.

Same as last time. Guilty much? I never referenced you and yet you're defending yourself like crazy while trying to put me down.

I got news for you. You are not now, nor ever, were the center of the universe. No one cares what you label yourself. Your labelmaker broke long ago. It keeps sticking labels onto everyone and everything that's not you.

I'm sorry life is hard for you. You shouldn't take it out on others.

Idk about the BDF, as I never go there, but I can definitely relate to this. Any time I post a serious opinion(which is rare), it seems like someone wants me to defend it a million different ways and get into a debate. My opinion is just my opinion XD
That's very easy to ignore. The thing is with naysayers, you'll never prove a point to them because they're not interested in being wrong. They've got all sorts of tantrums lined up, you just have to leave them with the Lord.

I wish you wouldn't leave. It might not help but I enjoy your posts. Don't let nay sayers push you away.

This stinks, I thought Yahweh is good brought a lot to CC. I also feel bad because he has a lot of stress going on and maybe being here and talking about it would have helped.

I don't think I've defended him on anything yet. (though I might on some specific things) I just enjoyed his posts.
