I can see it can be difficult to get to the point on just about anything around here
when I was a kid, we used to say act your age and not your shoe size
the last page and half is not even a conversation
I mean I don't think anyone should be shut down, but Stephen? I found this really cool expression I thought you might like to add as your signature

You know what? I was just thinking about how sad this thread is and how I couldn't understand why you guys don't get along because you ALL seem like arguing and condemning each other is your favorite thing to do to each other. You are all acting the same way condemning each other for acting that way. And all the people up in arms over others calling out false teachers by name, you are calling out people here by name, what is the definition of hypocrite again?
All I'm saying is this jab you just threw at Stephen can be applied to every person in this thread the last 5 pages. Wow, we are the body huh?

Like I said before, you Hyp******e & OSAS folks attack & ridicule those that cause your doctrine the most damage.
Me, stop posting on heresy? NOTTAGONNAHAPPEN.
How can I say this..... CAN'T YOU READ?!?
The word for Satan here means "adversary".
If your're gonna post, you ought to at least be accurate.....
As for your problem with G777 & I..... are you jealous? Do you want a dance partner?
Just a little piece of advice..... If you're gonna dance, be ready to pay the fiddler.

stephen's responses have consistantly been argumentative and anything but helpful
he argues with one person in particular
getting along with everyone is not the point of this thread
that is not even a biblical concept
someone like stephen needs to step back and examine his heart. he is out of control
you might actually be fair and see that the only time contention arises is when he posts
he absolutely needs to stop talking
he appears to be an immature individual who calls names and makes smart aleck remarks
S
that is nonsense
most responders here have been decent
actually, the ones who appear to be controllers and expect everyone to kow tow to them are the ones objecting
sorry, but you are wrong in what you say. a topic may not be something people agree on, but when the name calling starts and in the case of stephen, attacking one person and putting a thread off topic, then it becomes plain that the person doing that is a bully
that is another way to control. bully people, mock them, attack them, call names
all of those are tactics that Christians should not participating in
I think it is absolutely fine to tell someone they should stop talking if they are being rude, abusive, aggresive and trying to take over a thread they did not start
fyi, shaming people is another way to try to control.

So it's just everyone else right? You may be right, but you were one of the main ones I was referring to, so what's YOUR excuse. You call someone out for calling people out. Take a look at your own comments here before trying to drag me into it.
Why don't YOU practice what you preach and take a break and think about your own actions instead of trying to attack me because some here weren't acting like you were, and are.

so let's see
you have not even participated in the thread but you wish to take me behind the shed and spank me
I don't agree with bullies and manipulators and I also don't agree with your blatant attempt at shaming
there is a tendency in these forums to gang up on people
let's see now. your first comment is to berate me. I respond. now you say I am dragging you into something and attacking you
I guess I was supposed to whimper and fold.
ironic
and very childish. done and thank you
Well I didn't want to because I was embarrassed about how it going, but will not let you suck me into this pointless, unending, and just plain childish back and forth you seem to love so much. I hope you have a great night and may God bless you and your family. Continue the family feud I'm going to practice what you preach.
S
ok EG. it is apparent that some people need some chocolate or something as they are just not themselves when they are angry. maybe they are hangry LOL!
will just continue on then. unless the detractors get the thread shut down, which, it seems, may be the purpose of at least one person that is now sadly on ignore
read the following and agree with it
Manipulation is what happens when we influence someone to do something and only we benefit from their actions.
Leadership, in contrast, works to ensure that both parties benefit.
I think that is a really good contrast and summation, easy to remember and I find it true
A
I don't know.
I follow Jesus and don't see how He benefits from it.
True authority comes from God and causes people to become closer to being the people God expects them to be, the people God created them to be.
He calls us to have heavenly wisdom that display impartiality, kindness, gentleness and other fruit that grows when we walk with the Holy Spirit: love,joy, peace, self control.

I always wonder: where are leaders leading you?
We follow Jesus and submit to those we believe have authority over us and our lives.
People can try and manipulate us, but as someone mentioned, we have a choice in how we respond. We can chose to blame others for our actions or take responsibility and learn self control.
We had a discussion in college about the nature of evil and responsibility.
.the term "when Good people do nothing...", there was talk about Hilter and camps.
Just wanted to throw it out there that God calls us to a higher authority when the worldly one does not meet his standards.
.that is why Christians stood against slavery and other human rights violations,

these words the Holy Spirit can make so real as if you were there
dry words with no Spirit do not give life
where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty
where the desire to control is, every word is inspected, every motive is cross examined and jealousy and every kind of selfish motive becomes evident
If you will notice in the first post, sevenseas is doing all the things she rants about others doing: smart aleck remarks, agressive, rude, & taking over the thread.
Classic projection. Narcissistic. Narcissists are controllers, so it's no wonder the majority of manipulators on CC are true narcissists.
What I question is where the behavior comes from. Some say it's inherited, while others say it's demonic.
I tend to believe it can be both, if you believe in generational curses in a family.
Generational curses can also be viewed as a passing down of a spirit in a family, which I have seen in the past.
If it is a passing down of a spirit, then obviously that person isn't saved while showing those characteristics.

how can a quote from the bible be dry or controlling, if a person who claims to be of the faith ,yet is continuing on the same path regardless of the scripture quoted, it is evident in everything that they write and do. blowing in the wind is for baby christains, not idiots that think we reap a harvest in anything we do. if they don t understand the quote, is that the writers fault. however a liar pretending to be of the faith, has his own agenda regardless of quote or spoken word and thinks they have a choice. they cannot enter because of misrepresenting scripture of a said faith needs approval by god,
we fit in to gods plan, not the false liberty that humans offer.
