I'm just done..through...finished with this kind of stuff on these forums. How about we become one in the spirit instead of attacking each other for opposing viewpoints?

How about showing the world that we are truly one body?

There are people who come to this website hungry for answers, love, and acceptance from their brothers and sisters. We have a real opportunity to serve them...love them...help them.

These opportunities are lead by the Lord as He's looking to reconcile His elect to Himself. There are lost sheep and new additions to the flock still coming everyday. These are people that are hurting and searching for God's love and truth. How can we tell them what is true when we argue with one another about the very foundations of our faith?

Sadly many leave the site because of what they encounter or see in us. I admit I have let my feelings get hurt and have been harsher than I should have. For that I ask forgiveness if I have ever hurt or offended.

I love this place and everyone on it...even those I don't agree with because Jesus asks us to forgive and love others. I'm just saddened by a lot I see here and each day I go into the forums and sometimes even the chat room.

If we have not love all the knowledge in the world means nothing. Instead of spending so much time biting and devouring one another, let us all love each other more and worry less about who's right or wrong. We're all wrong sometimes. Let's just admit it.

Let's put or pride, malice, and division aside. Let's put away these things for the greater good...for The Kingdom of God. There are fields to be plowed, seeds to be planted, and a great harvest awaits. People need the gifts that God gave us. They will know that we are Christian by our love.....

"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."

Red Tent we just have to be the change we want to see. If we see dissention and strife being caused a gentle answer turns away wrath. If we share truth, we wrap it with love...and a big fluffy bow. :)

And if the strife continues we just walk away and pray. I wrote this blog frustrated but today I am seeing clearer with the Lord's help. I remember when I was hurting I said hurtful things.
I used to be a hateful person before coming back to God this last time. I hurt people because I was drowning in hurt, shame, and hate. Once God dealt with me about this, I was ashamed and begged forgiveness for myself and from those I had truly hurt.

So now I can see that a lot of the stuff going on here doesn't just start with words. It's the feelings behind those words we should pay attention to. We should pray that God gives them healing and leads them to truth. We can't change others but we can pray for them, love them, and forgive them if their words hurt us. That's what God asks us to do.
