Choice Words

Some posts are perplexing. Hostility, mocking, and ridicule are not productive. Are we not commanded to come together in love and help one another? None of us is perfected in areas; God alone enjoys that honor. Instead of tearing down we should all attempt to build one another up with choice words.

“Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.” Ps 19:14

God’s own Word on the topic should give all of us pause:
“Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!” Luke 17:1

“But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.” Matthew 12:36-37

Great discussion starter. I see it as a reflection of the truth behind the facade's that are at work.
Quite frankly mature adults who are also Christian do not speak from a place of , hostility, condescension, or using mockery of another as a way of assaulting that person.

Those passages you share are relevant to that fact. And are unknown to the offenders themselves. They don't believe they'll ever answer for their behavior. And reading what is in their profile timeline, they've been let to believe this falsehood in some cases for years.
I blame bad parenting. Bad kids who are dropouts with nothing better to do tend to ply their wicked ways in our communities through acts of violence or other criminal enterprise. The web just allows that poor example of character to up their level of offense because hiding behind pseudonyms and a monitor insures they'll not actually be physically seen as that offender on a keyboard.

There's another passage that bears repeating here. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

The worst behaved who are not what they claim to be here are mocking God by claiming to know him. Their life and what happens to them while living it real time will show them God is a God of wrath. He is not a man that he would lie. But woe to those who lie about him.

Again, good conversation starter. God bless you.
Now see if what I tell you doesn't show itself as truth in the remarks that follow.
God also protect you.

Good luck. Such posts have never changed anything in the past.

I know nothing of posts from the past. This present day post at least allows the message to be sent to those to whom its words apply.
We see you and know you for what you are.
As does God. God see's them and knows where they are. And God may not exist in the minds of such one's as those identified by their works on boards such as these. Though He will prove he exists in the lives of such ones as those who think to see his people as targets for their bad intentions and behavior.
I will repay says the Lord.

I'm not sure what all that was about. But every two months or so a thread pops up on this exact subject. This area has been the way it is for years, no matter how many post threads calling it out. That means most of the regulars have seen these kinds of posts numerous times. So not exactly a new message, nor a message most here haven't ignored multiple times.

Why not? It is very clear English.
Then it would appear hopeful monsters are getting a clue every couple of months and choose to ignore yet another expose'. That's good.
As are reminders their presence is still apparent, apparently. Which is always good news for new arrivals here such as myself. Who became aware of those monsters quite early on in fact.

We know the problem as it is age old and is not unique to any one Forum. So what is your solution?

All we can do is our part and plant or water the seeds of truth. Then wait for God to give the increase.

God's Word says to continue to plant and water seeds of truth from His Word. Nothing can grow to full maturity without regular doses of water. I for one don't want to just throw in the towel. We are all at different stages of growth and need to help each other with the use of God's Word when possible. It's all about loving one another when each of us is hard to love at times.

and so, Wansvic, how can we, the True Body of Christ, help YOU to grow and learn???

this is truly strange - we, hub and myself didn't respond to this post, yet it says that we did -
and put words into our mouths:

???

take HEED!!!

Individuals whould always remembe when becoming peeved with another that yes, it is written be angry, but it continues to say but do not sin.

So you dialogues may be somewhat heated, but do not allow it to take you to actually sin. I believef a debate takes a person to the point of being at the brink of hating the other this is si...……..remember we are to love everyone, so if someone seems to be in total error in your esteem you are perfectly correct, even instructed to treat that person as a non-believer. uf nofhinv mods.

By sharing God's Word to encourage and, at times, correct me. We are all to be humble and work together to help one another grow. The truth shared is the only thing that can accomplish that task.
