Of course the source for this renewing lies in The Possession of God 'His Word' 2 Timothy 3:15 (KJV) [15] And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. [16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: [17] That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. Seeing this is the only path that Love may abound the contention in Jude is the struggle to love one another... Love, Steven Never said love could abide in lies, so not sure where you are going with that statement, Steve. As for loving one another, that is a personal choice we all make when responding to people, be it online here or in person. Love is not automatic.

Ha, like that response. But this one was unorthodox if i may call it so as to the changes that stupefied many. Sing4, i think you are a young man doing the things that would please the Lord. I have read what your daily routines are and how you strive to witness and be a testimony to others. I also remember, not too long ago, someone posted an article that branded an organisation that you participated in,as false teachers and that may have hurt you tremendously, as you said you have seen many saved through that organisation. Don't know how true all of those things are, but a christian wintessing today would face and must be prepared for stones thrown at him, it comes with the job. Yes, some people are a bit irrational in their responses and that can be expected as many are at different levels of maturity in their faith and some have different experiences, that they seem compelled to put forth. I for one, would like to see you here still and be a contributor. Also, remember, this is a forum and lots of members and non-members, so it is not easy for the moderators to keep abreast with the post as they come in quickly at times. You have made your decision and i like that you said you would still visit. So you are not gone in haste and rage, and that's the believer's thing to do. The moderators must be commended also for what they do as it take a lot of time to manage a site like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The social circle.............believe me little Brother,there are many many many more of US (Body of Christ) than there is of them.....anyway,just you & GOD are always the Majority If you are lead elswhere,I say farewell & God Bless you in all you do......maybe you can just take a break pray & consider these words......it's not just a battle,its WAR.......& how do we win the war?

God bless you all. I will still check now and then for any replies and answer any questions (within reason). Dear Sing, I'm sorry to see you go ,do you realize that not everybody is mature in the Lord and have so may questions or opinions? I hope I'm not the cause for you to leave? I enjoyed your post on the forum very much as I could feel your love for the Lord through your posts You're still so young and I pray God will bless you richly and stay close to Him my friend. Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. 1 Tim. 4:12 Consider: Salt and Light …15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they set it on a lampstand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. Matt.5:16 I would love for you to stay and let your light shine ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God bless you all. I will still check now and then for any replies and answer any questions (within reason). There are really good people here; not all, but most. I am an experienced Christian forum user: I think this is number six, or seven. The first two Christian forums I was a part of I left because of the open hostility between people of faith. I personally think that the devil uses some people whether they know it or not to sow discord within the body of Christ. I think the third forum I tried to joined rejected me because I placed God's word over any manmade creed, however true it was. Somewhere along the line I got involved in another Christian forum, but its lack of activity was sad. Somewhere around the fifth Christian forum I felt I've finally arrived at a forum that I could feel the love of Jesus in. At around 5000 posts, I was reprimanded for something that was not my fault. I refused to back down in my conversation with the moderators, so I ended up with a two-year "time-out" (banned). I never used a cuss word, but only stated the facts as I saw them. That led me to Worthy and I could not be any happier here. The grass is not always greener, but you must decide that for yourself. I love Worthy for it's unwavering support of God's Chosen People, Israel, and the respect they give God's word in these troubled times. I am not really good with people seeing how superficial they can be. My wife is my only true friend (not including my dogs), and of course I've made her family and her friends mine too. But there are a lot of people here on Worthy I really look forward to meeting in the hereafter. You just need to choose your friends wisely. Let the Holy Spirit lead you into God's truth, the only truth that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some really solid Bible teachers here who have years of research and walk with the Lord. I have learned lot of things i took for granted or at least looked them up. You are now part of the team and you have to remember brother Paul and how he persevered. You know, even though some people argue and a bit of wrangling happens at time, it causes people to think when they read those threads about issues and lives are changed and the light gets turned on privately when no one is around. You have to learn to separate the wheat from the tares and press on brother. You are valued here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
