Greetings GodsLittleSoldier,

One thing that i have found VEEERRRY dissapointing in this forum, and a lot of the others i've read, was the amount of bickering that there is amongst people it really is...  it puts me off. Perhaps a strategy people could use to make sure that there wont be any childiish fighting in the forums is, before you start typing something potentialy offensive, ask jesus to guide youre hands to type what he wants in his will. and try to be open to other people's beleif's i mean who are any of us to say that we are right. who is to say that any of the churches are right or wrong for that matter....well i should take my leave.

I have been on many forums now since the early 90's, and BBSs before that in the mid-late 80's. I have found more loving, caring and knowledgeable (Christ like) members on this forum than I have on any others. For the most part they are OPEN to EACH OTHER'S ideas, but they MUST BE scripturally based. I think that most here agree we DO NOT tolerate "ideas that are strange, can be classified as fables, or outright lies sown by the enemy". Jesus makes this statement, and I ask you to tell me what you think it means:

Matthew 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

Our hope, one day, is to enter that Heavenly Kingdom, and we fight (daily) to ensure our part in it. God wishes that NONE should perish and has given us each a ministry to evangelize "the world". I think this is what you see on this forum. Please do not let it confuse you. Jesus said "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free." Please study to show yourself approved, a workman unto God rightly dividing the Word of Truth. Be a good Berean, and you shall learn to enjoy the fellowship you find here.

Blessings,

Dad Ernie

Psalm 8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

Thank you Godslittlesoldier! You're right on the mark with that! I think we can all learn something from this little soldier.
