A short answer to another user named Nikki

Hi, sister!

I don´t know what´s your problem or disagreement but I wanted to write a simple comment -like this- in your own blog, and I myself saw your are not welcoming simple words so, how come you dared to blame the whole Christianity as narrow-minded and unfriendly?

You said things like these: "If you want people to be drawn in while giving them their free will then at least have open arms for them rather than to have a shield up for whenever there's uncertainty on their part."

Where are yours? That I saw you casted a stone, but I will not write this on a hidden PM. Will you mine allowing commnents? No matter you might add the condition to publish them moderated?

One final thing: People came to Christ for convictions, from the acknowledgement of being SINNERS (like me, like you). Back door evangelism serves to get people sit on EMPTY SEATS.

we all need shields (like you) because there´s no safe firewall to stop a fire so, give us and Christianity an example of being open (unless you wrote that in anger or hurt) so I made a mistake playing the fool trying you could read this.

Thanks, Nikki.

How is it 'not welcoming'? Was it a welcome message to begin with?

Anyway, there have been attacks sort of speak that I'm seeing and people thinking that they can pass some sort of judgement on others for questioning or really just about anything that may not agree up to their standards. Christians doing so to other Christians even. I really don't need to name names to try proving any point. Many people are in fact contemplating on leaving because they aren't feeling welcomed even if it's out of curiosity and even given judgment onto them, how is one not able to question or point it out. But I'm casting a stone for pointing something like that out? I'm voicing out from what seems to be going on in some good parts of this site which is nothing new to me anyway. I know I'm not casting any stones, but from having the need to single someone out publicly which I never really did or mention the whole site being this way, are you? If you know you're not guilty from this then why are you feeling like I'm apparently attacking everyone when I never did as such?

I took the comments section off for a reason, which I normally do if I bother to make blogs anyway. Thanks for reminding me why I do so.

I'm finding it ironic that you say I'm casting stones when you're not only singling me out, you've also set the comments to be approved when you wanted me to give a response... Are you preparing to simply delete my comment because it's something that's not pleasing to your own eyes and make it seem like I'm not giving any response purposely? Because I wouldn't have if you never gave me a private message stating this. Now I'm casting a stone.

It was not an irony! I don´t know the complete issue you´ve mentioned, but I´m also concerned the virtual fellowship CC has would be faulty for RELIGION and some sort of legalistic Inqusition.

I appologized for not noticing you posted. I have my blogs "moderated" (not censored) to avoid people seeking funds or egotic attention to their supposed "ministries".

I seldom use PMs because I learned MANY here considered it invasive and girls/women tend to think all men are trying to woo at anyone who might play "responsively". So that´s why I posted this publicly, and I could get it removed, because you also felt WE ALL are not acting "open-armed", while wearing our virtual shields, bullets and armors.

I wish discriminative actitude were lessened, but I cannot rule over people. That shows WHO they really are (and you know who they are).

Thanks for your unmoderated reply!
