Your words are so harsh; so cutting; so jaded. You've been hurt so badly in your life. I'd love to help you with your broken heart so that, one day, you might reflect the Glory of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Yeah.

I’m thinking you make a practice of bashing other people, then innocently wonder why you were banned.

Here you are, doing it again. From 2nd Timothy Group:

“This is weird. I was banned from another site today. The time I was banned before today, it was for defending you. And you're the first person that I've been in contact with since my banning of today. Incredibly, I was defending another user from the abusive ways of guess who . . . Crossnote...”

Not sure why you’re so jaded and cut people, maybe I can help you.

Wow. Just checked the ignored messages.

Gotta say, I’ve gotten less hate from atheists on Facebook. Congratulations to those of you “Christians” who have made me feel thoroughly unwelcome on this site. And know this: you won!

I’ll say my goodbyes to the few of you who have been nice and then delete my account. You won’t have to put up with me much longer.

Kris, I am so sorry to hear this. Did you know that you can set your profile to private?


In a site this big, each person, especially outspoken ones, will face resistance and this is why the ignore button is available and wonderful. You can set up your online account just like you want it, keeping the ones that you want, those that add to your experience here and ignore the ones that keep you from enjoying your time. Wouldn't it be nice to do that offline?

I rarely block, if at all. I think we can learn from others, even those we disagree with. For the ones that treat us unfairly, it seems, or just harshly.. they remind us how we don't want to be. I don't do certain threads though, because rather than coming together to reason, they come together to put up their dukes, lol. I am painting with a broad brush and that is not fair, not all are confrontational...are you?


I pray you and yours are well. I hope for you to be blessed as you continue to work for the cause of God.

May the Lord both forgive you and have Mercy upon your soul. You are a frightening person. I wouldn't want to attend your church because of you.

My friend, why are these people allowed to belittle and berate others until the abusee no longer wants to be a part of your forum?

If you have a problem with ten other people, maybe it's time you look at yourself to see if you're at the root of the problem. It works just as well here as it does on the playground.

Folks. If you wonder why I engage guys like this, it’s because I have a real weakness dealing with the hypocrisy.

I’ve gotten a little better over the years, but still find myself responding to blatant hypocrites.

This guy actually doesn’t think he just did to me, what he claims I did.

He also says he was banned here and came back. So there’s that.

But hey, I’d prefer not to be in an adversarial relationship with anybody. So I’m willing to say sorry Tim.

You good?

I wasn't banned from this site. I was banned from an alternate site for defending the intelligence of a co-member.

I'd sure love to speak to you face to face.

What's the name of the church that you attend? You can send the information to [email protected]. I'd like to send them a transcript of this thread.

I’ll take this threatening response as a no to my question if we’re good. Also not hard to read it as a desire for violence.

And I’m betting the ranch this individual doesn’t see his hypocrisy at all. Ya know, what with that plank in his eye.

Have a good day Timmy!

It's not a threat at all. It is my way of saying that I'm pretty certain that you wouldn't speak these same words to my face.

I forgive you.

Please send the information to my email so that I can send your horrific words to your church leadership.

Kris, if you're still around, I'd just like to say I think your expectations of a forum like this are way too high. When it doesn't meet your expectations you get upset. See it for what it is and you won't be disappointed; this is good advice for most things in life.

I think that Kris is showing that "christians" are lacking the Love that only the Holy Spirit provides. Kris is only explaining the things that Paul, Peter, and the likes expressed in their writings. Kris recognizes the lack of Love based upon the expectations set forth for us in the Holy Word of God . . . should anyone choose to obey it.

When you say "you wouldn't say that to my face" that's a threat pal.

As for my Church, they ain't sinless perfectionists either. So I'd be forgiven for pointing out hypocrites.

Hey! I see your buddy from western Pa is back!

Prolly Still thinks he's not sinnin!

Ok. Well if you're too afraid to have your horrific attacks displayed to your church, then I'll leave you alone and let our Powerful God deal with you.

I forgive you; your hate-filled words do not affect my psychology, as hard as you try to cause me emotional damage.

Apparently even the "I forgive you" is filled with hypocrisy!

Geesh! Not even 30 seconds!

I don't want you to hate yourself. How silly is that?

Since you clearly want to continue, I'll offer another truce.

If you ARE in Christ, then you are my brother. Now I've had plenty of battles with both my Spiritual, and physical brothers over the years.


Some are of my doing, some not. But at the end of the day, we recognize who we are, and that we are called to love, although we recognize we don't always LIKE each other.

So in that vein, for whatever offense, real or perceived, I apologize.

You don't need to apologize, for you have been forgiven for every horrific word that you've expressed. However, I will accept your apology, in the future, if you Turn, change your ways, and begin to gently instruct rather than attempt to cause another to feel poorly of themselves.

2 Timothy 2:25 NLT - "Gently instruct those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people's hearts, and they will learn the truth."

Lately, I have been learning how our sense of Value in others determines how we interact with them. These ideas have helped produce a healthy sense of Balance in my life. By understanding Value, this concept has helped set me free from others who have rejected me; ignored me; disrespected me, etc. If someone does not Value you, let them go and move on. It is perfectly ok if someone does not Value you. No one is required to place Value in you. That said, ALL True Christians [will], according to their New Nature, find Value in all humans, for Eternal Life is what is at state.​

1 Corinthians 9:22 NIV – “To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some."​

The quality of our relationships is directly proportionate to the level of Value we place in others.​

How do we define “Value” in others?​

If someone has what we want or admire, our sense of Value toward them is heightened.​

If we disrespect another person, we tend not to express heightened Value.​

So . . .​

Who we are in a relationship with, what is the ratio of Value shared between both parties? How do you each express your sense of Value towards one another?​

Do you Value me? Do you Value them?​

If we lack understanding, offer little leniency and patience, or are rude to others, what does this indicate regarding our level and sense of Value toward that person?​

Are we ready to help those who have something we want and admire? Or, do we tend to reject and ignore those who we do not Value, those who have nothing to offer?​
