Look as the shear number of pages dc has been dealing with people with the false doctrines like works righteous. That alone is a recipe to Cause an attitude change in one that has chosen to confront those teaching false doctrine. After all Jude told us to earnestly contend with those peddling a false doctrine:
Jude 1:3-4 (HCSB)
3 Dear friends, although I was eager to write you about the salvation we share, I found it necessary to write and exhort you to contend for the faith that was delivered to the saints once for all.
4 For some men, who were designated for this judgment long ago, have come in by stealth; they are ungodly, turning the grace of our God into promiscuity and denying Jesus Christ, our only Master and Lord.
It is MEN who are primarily responsible to CONTEND the false doctrine peddlers. WOMEN ARE SPIRITUALLY GIFTED in others areas.
1 Timothy 2:9-15 (NASB)
9 Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments,
10 but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness.
11 A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness.
12 But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet.
13 For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve.
14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.
15 But women will be preserved through the bearing of children if they continue in faith and love and sanctity with self-restraint.
Titus 2:3-5 (NASB)
3 Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good,
4 so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored.
Their is the MAJOR DIFFERENCE between MEN who are to Confront and Contend with FALSE TEACHERS; AND GOD's Chosen role for WOMEN. AND Look at your Rant, it is the OPPOSITE of what it describes your ROLE as a Christian woman is to BE LIKE.
Sure dc is a little ruff around the edges, but he has an excuse besides his Contending with the false teachers; he is Half Australian, and I have never seen an Australian, that was not a little ruff around the edges. ALSO on top of that, he is half Country Boy from Missouri; and I will assume you are From the BIG CITY, am I right?

Umm, see what the scripture says and what fredo see's: Remain in his love, remain in my love, remain in the Father's love.
You said: "The command is love one another", quite a bit far from what the scripture is saying.
Simple.
John 15:9-10 King James Version (KJV)
9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
Ok, you are moving slowly but in the direction.
First you claimed, there was no where in the bible we are told to remain in His (Christ's) love. Now you accept and are even quoting it but are denying that the command is to love one another.
Q. What is the command that Jesus is talking about when He says, "..If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love.."?

Fredo said: Yep, it is acommand to love one another that the passage to mean to Peter and his disciples who had already experienced the loved of Christ. Actually, john 13 is before the cross and nothing is said about loving another "to keep to abide in his love". It addresses, showing that they are ought to love other believers, those who have experienced the loved of God as a sure proof of being his disiples. Nothing is said about gaining or keeping salvation. Love being one of the FRUIT of the Holy Spirit.
Noose said: there was no where in the bible we are told to remain in His (Christ's) love
Fredo now: See the difference I am in reference to John 13 not where in the Bible. What is that? Is this some kind of false accusation? Ummm... Well you have to keep in mind to whom Christ is speaking to... simple.

Preston, I am surprised at you. You KNOW IT IS FORBIDDEN TO ADD TO THE WORD OF GOD. THERE IS NO SUCH PHRASE AS HARD DRINK in the BIBLE. Now that May be your PERSONAL CONVICTION, BUT IT CERTAINLY IS NOT A LAW that GOD instructed us to keep. Yes it is SIN to get DRUNK, but it is NOT A SIN to have a Hard Drink. I have not been Drunk since the early 80's. And Yes I will have a drink of an alcoholic beverage probably less than once a week.
Leviticus 10:9 (ASV)
9 Drink no wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tent of meeting, that ye die not: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:
Now specific instructiions to the LEVITE PRIESTS are totally different than for the Rest of the Congregation. NOW IT appears that they cannot have Wine or Strong Drink, when ye go into the tent of meeting, to protect the CREDIBILITY of the WORD OF GOD being taught there. Some people would love to spread the rumor that the PRIEST was drunk, because you could smell alcohol on his breath from ONE DRINK.
NOW GET THE LOG OUT OF YOUR EYE, BECAUSE HERE IS AN ABSOLUTE SIN.
Deuteronomy 4:2 (KJV)
2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
Proverbs 30:6 (ASV)
6 Add thou not unto his words, Lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
