What is considered edifying?

[Hopefully]

I am not a new member here but obviously I could use some training on what is edifying and what is not.

Being in a spiritual war -as in any war- we should know our enemy.

The Bible tells us a lot about our enemies and what to look out for.

False teachers is an example of an enemy.

The Bible teaches us about false teachers.

Why is it that if I speak on false teachers it is considered not edifying and the post is shut down with zero arguments happening?

Why do posts get shut down that have not broken the terms of service?

Why does my post get shut down because arguments (might happen) but there are posts here with arguments actually happening that are up for all to see.

Would Jesus shut down a post warning people not to argue stating it’s a trick of false teachers to get people to argue.

Hard to comment, as I am not aware of the specific posts you are referring to. In general terms though, edifying is about building, edification builds up the individual, or the body of Christ. It opposite would be to tear down, demolition to stay with the construction terminology. Those things are often criticisms of people or groups, and can be discouraging (as opposed to encouraging) and even stumbling blocks for some people. I'll try to see if I cannot find some specific cases of what you are talking about, and try to get back to you, but not right now, I am behind schedule here by about 9 hours on things I need to be accomplishing on the site.

Remember who you serve, and trust Him in all your doings…

For all things He makes work together, as hard as it might seem, keep eyes on Him…

As I know you will… 

Be so very blessed in your relationship with Him, Not me

Hi Omega,

the post was titled “1 Timothy 6:4, and I’m sure you will find the only one it torn down was false teachers- in general by describing the fruits of their spirits. Also doing so by only quoting the Bible and using a snippet of an article on false teachers. 
 

I did not use my own words to describe anything in the original post. And cited my sources.

I commented to one person in agreement with what they were saying.

Thank you for being willing to look into it when you have time.

Brothers and sisters please help me keep my posts from being shut down. Please don’t argue please don’t quote anyone in disagreement. There is a message here I really need people to see. 
 

I don’t mean anyone any harm. I only want to help. Some people don’t need or want my help and that is fine but please let me share a message of peace with anyone who wants to hear it.
