listen

stones has a thing about me

she has called me by various members names and accused me of being a banned member who came back

I showed her some time ago I was never banned..and not any member she thought I was

and here she is again, for some reason she has a bug in her bonnet and thinks she is doing a great service to the forum
to talk about me

I was sevenseas...I am now 2seasrekeyed ... I wanted sevenseas 2.0 but someone apparently already has that name although I have never seen them

so you can see how how someone could be mistaken for someone else just by a name

the great sleuths among us, in this thread thought I was FranC who has been banned

I believe it is against the TOS to have this type of conversation

two people just today said I reminded them of Fran right in this thread.

seems some have nothing to do but mind others' business

do you actually suppose the mods don't know who is who?
Oh, I don't know anything about any of this. I just had the thought that you reminded me of Lauren from a year or more ago. So I thought it was funny that you were in fact Lauren. Except you're not, so...don't know anything else. I wasn't trying to mind your business. Didn't know all this was going on. I'm a bit clueless about what's going on elsewhere Or in threads I don't open.

In fact, I'm sometimes clueless about what's going on in the threads I AM in...;)

She seems to savor cat turds too, so I will try telling her that next time. ;) :D

(of course I just made all that up, but it made me laugh, so...)
I have a green dog too! He's all about recycling and he recycles for the cat too. Bet they wish we'd go back to talking about cheez whiz...

The thread that could possibly go on forever, going back and forth eternally.

Not possible. At some point Christ will return and everyone will find out that they were wrong on this subject and that I was right all along.

No I mean I struggle to fully believe and not waver, for example, to not store treasure on earth or not worry how I will keep a roof over my head.
I used to worry about money, bills etc. and never seemed to have enough.....then the following took place and everything really changed....

a. I quit worrying about stuff that had not happened yet.
b. I quit worrying about things I had no control over
c. I quit worrying about money and the bills got paid when they got paid

end of story......less stress, retired at 45, bills paid, plenty to spare etc.......One thing I have found out....you cannot out give God......and what I mean is this.....my budget went like the following....

God-min. 20% of gross
Food-as needed
Car gas-as needed
Bills-on time

When I followed this faithfully and without hesitation, remorse and cheerfully....even though on paper I did not have enough I always had enough and got raises, bonuses, money out of left field etc............

Thank you that means a lot. I love to share. I learn a lot in these forums myself from everyone. :) Also - If anything I say is unclear feel free to ask any questions!

Now, can we leave this drop.
what I said was, I have read threads that I didn't post in if something interests me. that, is what I said to you stones and you lie and say I slipped up...I said I learned about you and I am still learning it seems

I read an awful lot about what YOU believe stones concerning your belief in Jewish writings and leanings towards myth and so on

I also learned quite a bit about you in the portals thread which I believe I did write in

now you have a problem and we both know what that problem is

I have pointed out the false teachings of Bethel and Bill and Jenn and Todd Bentely and it seems to make you very angry

that, is the real reason for the silly and childish little game you have played

and concerning the thread on portals, as I recall, you had some off the wall beliefs in that thread also

I disagree with your beliefs that are outside of the Bible and I disagree with the way you play with words in the Bible

that is the actual reason for your little game that you think shows some great insight on your part when really all it does is show the pettiness of your character

and to whoever gave me a rep with an apology and didn't put your name, thank you

some people in this forum actually work to have those they do not like harmed, or made of disrepute or even banned

then they flip open their Bibles and tell the rest of us tha we do not know as much as they do

not joking here...this is the type of despicable behavior that led me to have my account closed in the first place, but why let the small minded people have such a wide place to sow their discord

stones has had it in for me ever since I disagreed with her extra biblical beliefs

she does not seem to write about them so much anymore

you can find out alot about people when you go back and read what they wrote and when I read some of the things stones
believed, I thought them strange and so I went back and started to read other posts by her

I said the same to her and yet she continues to try and make some kind of trouble

then today someone thinks I am Fran...in fact 2 people thought so

this illustrates the behavior the Bible speaks of in the NT concerning spreading rumors, gossiping and slandering others

this is what that is

it is not harmless and to discuss someone in an open forum as she and a few others have done, is one reason people flee this place and either return as someone else or do not return at all

it's nasty

The bolded.....is it not what you have done in the underlined? Funny thing......how many if not most do unto others the exact same things they gripe about.

Now....this thread is about salvation by grace thru faith without works attached.....why is it so hard to not stick to the topic instead of soap box rants......note that I have n0 problem saying I am guilty of this and have tried to be better, not calling people cake takers and the such.....so....how about move on and post relevant scriptures and what you believe..........just asking and not mouthing!

Actually your post is an example of:

"this illustrates the behavior the Bible speaks of in the NT concerning spreading rumors, gossiping and slandering others"

First you say she's attacking you because of something she said to you in the past (on a different account?). Then you say you went back and read some past posts of hers that are extra-biblical with no example of what they are or why.

Then you say she "continues to try and make some kind of trouble". Which is definitely slander.

Then you say it is "not harmless to discuss someone in an open forum" Yet YOU are discussing her and going back and commenting on what she wrote in her past 5k posts.

And then you say, "its nasty" condemning others for doing exactly what I see you doing.

I have nothing against you, I don't always agree with you, but that's fine I don't agree with everyone.

That being said most people get banned because of their own actions not because of other people "coming against them".

And from what I've seen, it's the attitude of "people coming against me" and "it's not my fault" that ultimately justifies why they feel they can attack people here and unfortunately they get banned. I've seen the pattern several times since I've been here.

I won't say anything else to you about it, but hopefully this feedback will serve you well.

I've written lots of posts in this thread. I like hearing people's viewpoints. I appreciate everyone who has shared on this topic. I have grown as a result of many instances of our "iron sharpening each others iron".
