Debate with brotherly love

:thumbsup: Very insightful! I have the same opinion concerning how believers speak to each other, here and on other boards. We need to remember that we are all on the same side, or at least we should be. Love Jesus, live for Him, debate topics if you must, but realize that others are watching...and the devil laughs whenever he sees believers tearing each other apart.

 

Mostly because we are so thin-skinned and hard hearted that we take everything we said as a valid criticism and everything said about us as a vicious attack.

And that is because we think more hghly of ourselves than we ought to think.

 

Why aren't you writing or speaking words to that 'dying world out there' instead of 'biting heads off' in here, then?

 

You just proved C4K's point :thumbs:

 

First welcome to the BB from the Great Pacific Northwest. Next just keep doing what you are doing. Critics are easy to find. Workers and doers, now that's another thing.:thumbs:

 

C4K nailed it!

Also all those who name the name of Christ aren't truly His, and their attitudes so reflect.

You may be immature, but with this insight you've proved you're light years ahead of many others!

Hang in there m' friend, and God bless you!

 

Let's all go out and get a phileo fish sandwich together.

 

:laugh: Ok, I admit it. I cracked up on that one. :laugh:

 

LOL I don't know whether to be insulted or pleased. As a grand dad saved 33 years it has been a while since I have been called "immature."

But, from a guy old enough to be my dad I guess this is okay .

 

I may be way off base here, but I think he was talking to the originator of the thread. IMO he said that you nailed the reason, but was responding to the OP. Just my take on it, but I might be the one misreading it.

 

He was speaking of DJ N'Ly Te.
See, look at his OP:

 

Allan, not to hijack this thread but I have something funny to say about your picture. I have never really looked at it close, and I usually sit far from my computer so I can't see it very well. But until tonight I had always in glancing at it quickly thought it was some little boy riding some kind of animal. The animal had it's tail sticking up, and the boy was holding it by a leash. I am embarrassed to even say it, but I thought it was too funny not to mention. Then tonight when I actually looked at it I felt like a real goof ball. :laugh:

 

LOL :laugh: That WAS funny.

 

Ah man, you guys popped my bubble . I was feeling young for a few minutes there

I never was a good comedian - I mentioned being thing skinned in my post, then posted as though I were think skinned...oh well, gonna learn to not try and be funny one of these days. At least thats what my kids hope .

 

Hey, you're right! I saw the same thing! Now that IS funny! With regard to the OP, I think people do this because its easy to argue with someone when they're not actually face to face with you..won't get thumped that way!

love,

Hi all,

My first post...

I am a Christian. I am looking for a "home" board for the very same reason expressed in the OP. I am tired of the Christians fighting with each other with death in their eyes/posts.

I am thirty years as a Christian and I have lots of things to talk about and learn. If my thoughts are incorrect, I would like to be given the truth without judgement.

The Bible (I read the KJV) says to prove all things—the term disprove is not in the KJV. I look at it this way—when a person tells me that black is white, I believe the Bible suggests to show that person something black and something white so they will know the difference. I believe we are not to call them dirty rotten sinners for not knowing the difference—after all, they may be color blind.

Anyway, I am here because I would like to discuss, with other Christians, the do's (dos) and don'ts of Scripture so others (non-believers) can see the Spirit of Christ in our language and our approach to one another.

Blessings to all...
