Did you ? (join the bless me crowd/ the 'cuddle-brigade' ) ? That swept all around the world in many congregations and fellowships and churches in and after 1991.

Sure. But you are describing emotional responses you have to what you see, not facts. On 11/9/2017 at 8:39 AM, notsolostsoul said: Can they just not fellowship? No. What fellowship has light with darkness? On 11/9/2017 at 8:39 AM, notsolostsoul said: Why do they choose to negatively and forcefully assert themselves (attack) others? Why did Ananias and Saphira drop dead at the word of the messenger of Yahweh (God) , right in front of the assembled believers/ ekklesia/ followers of Jesus immersed in His Name ? Why did the ones teaching a false gospel get CURSED BY JESUS, AND BY the APOSTLES? out loud, in public and in services ? and in Scripture ? Why does/ why did/ Jesus come to DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Informal meaning: express strong dislike for, criticize or abuse. I mentioned some of these earlier. mistreatment, unkind words, belittling, attacking one's faith in Christ. Attacking their character because beliefs are a bit different. Questions for you. Can people choose to not fellowship with others without the dislike, criticism or negative words (hate)? Can they just not fellowship? Why do they choose to negatively and forcefully assert themselves (attack) others? So then I give you the Lord definition. Jeremiah 17 King James Version (KJV) 9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Man is also a social being that does not like his territory to be invaded. Your topic is not that easily answered in a few words, as it it pervades man's history and there is enough evidence of wars ect. A believer on the other hand has mindset changed to see the world differently and not get entangled by the patters that plagues the carnal man. So hate for the things you described should not be part of his baggage. Fellowship is personal choice and as it is described, you cannot pare the mule with a donkey when plowing the field. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you!!! 7 minutes ago, warrior12 said: Fellowship is personal choice and as it is described, you cannot pare the mule with a donkey when plowing the field. Personal choice. So they don't have to try or even sit there to defend. Just bring the word. Matthew 10:14New International Version (NIV) 14 If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet. Jesus never said to call them names, or even call them liars. He simply said. Leave and dust your feet. Guess he don't want the mule and donkey fighting because then no plowing will get done. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They feel personally attacked when their faith is attacked so instead of giving a reasonable defense, they lash out at the one attacking. I agree , accept the one challenging their words is not "attacking" them. Though they whose egos are easily threatened can perceive it as a "personal" affront. I would say it has more to do with how the disagreement is worded and less to do with being easily threatened. I can tell someone that a disagree with them and state why, but if I start saying they are a false teacher, stupid, not saved, just to bolster my stance, it is an attack on the person they are responding to. In today's world, it is so easy to spit out demeaning words as we hide behind an anonymous username, saying things we would not to a persons face. In fact, due to this ability, more relish immaturity over maturity as they know they can get away with it. A true follower of Christ will mature as time goes on, putting away the childish things they once held so dear. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
