I think I am in agreement with you there . As believers , our conscience has to prick us when we do something that we know is not right. If someone thinks he had the right to say what he has said then, he had to live with that. I say what I have to say to him in my reply and move on as it goes. I try not to offend, but with writing you never know how someone may interpret your penned words. If I do see a deliberate attempt to insult or incite, then it may warrant a reply accordingly so that something may be learned and not for the sake of confusion. Why bother the mods, they got lots of issues to deal with as it is already. As in the secular world, the guys have a saying " man up" and take your responsibility. man up phrasal verb of man USinformal be brave or tough enough to deal with an unpleasant situation.

So, your Thread is not "gone", or "erased"....its just moved to a place where members can't read it, but mods and George can see it anytime. Im sure the mods and George wont mind you knowing this, as i dont think they are trying to hold secrets, and keep them from their members.

But then it just got deleted instead. I don't know why I am telling you all this. It is just something that has been on my mind. I remember your topic, LadyKay. What happened to your topic about Dearborn not being under Sharia law, going so far off topic is what happened to Sharing with Muslims at Christmas topic. Instead of it being a topic about sharing Christ, it became an anti-islam rant. Then it got deleted. I am trying to get the topic cleaned up and reinstated, if possible, when Steve has time. Did talk with George about it. 4 hours ago, warrior12 said: Record noted. Yeh, you did say lock not delete.

It's just that no one can post any new posts to the topic. I sometimes run into closed or locked topics. Usually due to the posts becoming too heated among posters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard some say that Jesus displayed this when he went chased the money dealers in the temple. Then there is the forgive 70x7 . Any thoughts ?. I must admit, I do get angry, I more like to use the word upset, especially if I know I am right about something and can prove it, yet is still doubted by someone. Patience, patience, oh I try.

Hi all, Might I suggest for consideration that truth is no excuse for meanness? Victory comes in truth for sure, but it can be made to fall short and to become no more useful than a lie when it's purpose is not true. If it's purpose is to puff up pride in ones self rather than humility in appreciation of our awesome God then truth is misused, turned about on it's own face and rewards Satan and Satan's little minions the little antichrists of whom there are many even today. Seeking to use the armor of truth without including the spear tip of kindness is destructive to the opportunity to witness by giving testimony of Christ Jesus. Without kindness there is no glory to God to be found within it. Such truth, championed without the softening tip of kindness, only serves to do injury and not to be kind, nor encouraging toward the unsaved, and is not fellowshipping with the saved brother and sister in Christ Jesus. Lessons, Biblical lessons to Timothy by Paul as inspired by God the Holy Spirit seem an example*, least for me; especially the be kind in your reproach/approach to an older man ( LOL). In truth all of 1 Timothy is most useful, again least to me it is, in regard to relationships with individuals all in the name of Jesus so that all that is done may be done to the glory of God. *Do not rebuke an older man but encourage him as you would a father, younger men as brothers,_older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, in all purity.

Without the truth there would not be an objective concept of love, even Hitler could say he was loving the Jews while gassing them. Sounds a lot like this loving them To GOD . WE LOVING THEM TO GOD by not exposing their deeds , just letting them feel loved. ONLY it did not work out well and wont work out . Scrips were cast aside for a whole new EMOTIONAL sensual love , that aint loving anyone . Cause love that don't correct , AINT COMING FROM GOD , its coming from sensual men who have not the SPIRIT and thus focus not on doctrine but rather what is sensual . FOR ALL WHOM GOD LOVES HE DOES CHASTEN AND CORRECT . and I sure don't remember JESUS ever teaching this sensual love them to GOD . IF so , why did he have whips in one hand , and strong heavey WOES UNTO YOU in the other . LOVE without doctrine , IS FAKE . Just as those who may know doctrine in part and use it to condmen , yet not ALSO to POINT TO CHRIST as the solution . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
