We should know better. That is why I think there is more than just disagreements going on here. I think satan doesnt like this place and is trying to make us destroy it from within. It's a safe bet that satan has his grubby fingers stuck in this forum. Satan is very clever but you know....there is a built in flaw in his evil deeds. When I feel satan is on the attack, I know I am on the right path, or else why would he bother? God bless and guard this forum Oy vey all this satan talk...I'm reminded of a topic in controversial...

With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. 19Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People could be acting like jerks for a variety of reasons, not necessarily because of the "wrath of satan". once again we christians choose to blame satan instead of working on our own behavior! This is so redundant already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems as though everyone is angry and argumentative. We are turning against eachother. Saying mean and spiteful things. A house divided against itself cannot stand. We are here to build eachother up, support eachother, teach eachother, pray for eachother, and reach the lost with the love of Christ. We need a wake up call and get back to the basics. We are brothers and sister in Christ. Heirs to the throne. Celebrate, be happy, we are FREE. Everyone take a deep breath. Awwww, that's better. I apologize to all I might have offended. Let's play nice and remember why we are here. Pray that evil will be banned from this place. hey don't be so quick to assume that the friction is a bad thing . Jesus certainly wasn't afraid to shake things up and plus what makes you assume that causing friction means that we all hate each other? We sometimes need to love each other enough TO cause friction within each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sometimes need to love each other enough TO cause friction within each other. Disagreement will come naturally, I agree. But if you have a different opinion than another the best thing to do is to explain that you disagree and explain why. Why is critical, because it says more than "you're wrong", it says why you think the other person is incorrect. You can also say this in respectful ways, like "I disagree", or "I understand what you are saying, but I look at it this way", or "I'm afraid I think you are looking at it incorrectly" or something to that extent. That is a much better preface than "you're wrong" or "you must be CRAZY to think that" or "You make no sense!" etc. It's all in how you treat others with whom you disagree with.

There is such negativity and depression and heartaches in here as well. Look at the prayer requests. There are sooooooooooooo many who are hurting and are desperate for help. People are breaking down from evil attacks on their bodies, minds,hearts and spirit. These boards are definately under attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
