Is this you "defending the gospel" or you just being the flesh driven wannabe you really are?
Seeing as you no nothing about our fellowship, how it is ran, what discipline procedures we have, you are a now rightly and deservedly called a fool that is making foolish comments....Do you want to continue down this path or take a breath and get offline for awhile?

The apostles answered questions like this simply.
He who says Jesus the son of God came in the flesh, bleed and died for the forgiveness of our
sins has the Holy Spirit.
He who loves His brother and sister in Christ has the Holy Spirit.
He who does the will of God has the Holy Spirit.
He who obeys the commandments through love knows God and is a friend of God.
People are excluded from the Kingdom because of persistent willfull sinful behaviour.
So if you believe they are behaving sinfully confront them with the sin etc.
Now it appears people are saying I am slandering them. Please tell me about what?
I am told I can never walk without being in sin, that to be clean, pure and holy before
the Lord is impossible. Now think a little. If the people who say this are then told they
are being in sin, not pure and holy they are just fulfilling their own words.
If Jesus cleanses use to we are acceptable before the Father, then we are, now today.
Sin does defile us, so needs to be understood isolated and dealt with.
What is odd is how this is all, literally all the issues are about, yet it is spoken like it is a deep
mystery, and such a heinous crime. When are you guys going to be honest and truthful. If you
want to say you are sinners, walking sinfully not cleansed pure of Holy, why is it wrong to state
that as you believe it. Or is the truth the words condemn you, so you flinch so hard, you say
it is satan speaking. It is such a strange contradiction, but the light has to shine and you need
to resolve your feelings over what you believe and come clean.
I think you know by now the light is never going away and you cannot hide. Are you righteous and
holy or not? If not, then you have to let others say exactly what you are or be hypocrites. Because
you become the liars, deceivers and workers for the enemy. Maybe you hate these words so much
it will just be a diatribe, but truth never goes away, you need to resolve it, before judgement day.

Dude, I do not know what your major problem is, But your getting old
The bible lays out how we are to discipline a brother or sister in sin, WHat it does not say to do is enable them and let them go on sinning, while attacking the ones who are trying to do what the bible says to do and call them out.
Why don't you call out the sinners with just as much passion as you call me out, If everyone would call the few who are causing this to begin with, We would not have this problem.

Yep, and here in lies the problem,
Many of us have left for a few months because we got sick of it, We came back, and same old stuff. Same old lies, Same old slander,, Same old everything
Again, Your part of the problem.
it does not matter if this is the internet
we have people CLAIMING to be representing God, We have non believers coming in and watching this, And you have no discipline
E
This whole issue could easily be taken care of, If people see peter slandering people withe the same old lies, Call him out, Say peter, they do not believe this, why do you keep insisting they do. If your going to keep this up after being warned, You will no longer be welcome to participate in our conversations until you repent.
The same goes for the other few instigators.
But no, you attack the ones trying to call them out, and do the biblical thing, And they become empowered. and you think that is going to change them?
As mailmandan said earlier, this is getting to be as bad as most christian chats on the internet all because of a few select people who are allowed to run rampant and spew whatever they want about other people. and no one has the guts to call them out on it,

This has nothing to do with anything, but every time I see your name I think of my kids video Toy Story....the three little alien dudes who keep saying to Mr. Potato Head...You saved our lives we are ETERNALLY GRATEFUL HAHAHAH I love it.......

A question you might want to ask yourself is .How long must a persons body of death remain sinless before their corrupted body stops aging, decaying leading to death and God stops revealing his wrath. Can we offer dead works of faith as that coming from us offered towards Him?
Do we need his unmerited favor(grace) that works in us to both will and do His good pleasure by working out his will seeing he finished all the work necessary . Or do we work to gain the grace by some wonderful we could do?
Work out the free gift or work fo.r it? Can’t serve two masters
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Phi 2:12
And in respect to what you call a strange contradiction, "but the light has to shine and you need
to resolve your feelings over what you believe and come clean". We walk by faith we are not the light anymore than was John the baptist . His bride is the reflective glory of her husband Christ. There is no work we could do outwardly that can prove we have the Holy Spirit. Those who violate the law of faith and rather walk by sight will not change it.We do not promote they do not but when they do they have a advocate who has paid the full wage
The glory of a invisible God remains invisible. We continue to walk by faith having not recieved the reward in its fullness.
Those who look to their own action as if it has not fallen short of His glory have received their temporal reward, as that seen .
Rev 21:11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
I do not call some of the others out because I use the ignore button and do not feel the need to engage them, feed them, pet them, stroke them, defend agaisnt them or otherwise....
I think a very select few of you want to run the BDF the way you want to and censor people you disagree with...that is a great idea...why not go out by the software and server and start your own darn chat board....until then grow some skin
you going to take this perception to EG as well...or does he get a pass...I am calling a spade a spade....
Lynn and EG and few others give the perception they want a private sandbox to play in....they think their tenure should afford them that...fine...go get a server software and they can start their own chat board.....
