Hi all! I'm new to this forum so I hope you don't mind me jumping in, but I totally agree with what you are saying. We've got to stop tearing each other apart and begin operating in love. I've said this many times, but sometimes I think Christians are the only species I know who eat their own.
Amen and Amen.
I think the problem is not disagreements but how people handle those disagreements. Some people resort to personal insults and attacks when they disagree with others. Is this the Love of God?
In just a last few days I have heard more personal insults and attacks then I think I will ever hear in real life even from non-christians.
I have heard Christan's calling other Christians:
Heretic
Stupid
Ignorant
Fool
Uneducated
Serpant
Evil
et...
This has got to stop! This has become a poisonous environment where people are walking away hurting. Soon or later your bound to walk away hurt by some poisonous insult.
Its ok to disagree with others but remain in love and respectfully say I disagree and maybe explain why you disagree with out being rude and slinging insults and name calling.
I really feel like moderators need to deal with those that sling personal insults. This does not promote a healthy discussion or Christian environment to learning and growing. Actually it works the opposite.
Worthy Experiment!
