God Bless all you two faced- Judgmental- Back Stabbing Gossipers

Yep, freeatlast just needs a nap, then all will be well.

 

As I've Said to You in the Past, I Say Again....

.....Ichabod! Matthew 7:5 - "You hypocrite, first get the beam of timber out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the tiny particle out of your brother's eye."

I rebuke your personal interpretation of Scripture and any judgment of myself and others on this board. Look inward, "O sanctimonious person..." for it is you who have sinned with your words of judgment and apostate like views.

There seems to be no love in your cold heart and chastizement.

If I need to be scolded, I'll hear it from God, not a pharisee like, self-righteous phoney!

So, one more time....I consider any judgment from you on my life as nothing more than self-incrimination and pronounce "Ichabod" over you and your life as a self-proclaimed believer.

Why don't you get a life, and find another place to practice your two-cent proclamations of judgment and scorn.

Ichabod....Ichabod....Ichabod....Ichabod....Ichabod!!!!

 

As usual you want ot take the place of God and put yourself in His place with your false teachigs.

 

Satan is certainly alive and well on planet earth. Get behind me satan.

Yes, many who claim be able to see the "light at the end of the tunnel" are some of the most hateful people in the world.

"But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut off the kingdom of God... "How terrible it will be for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites!

 

Your point is well taken, in that you have proved that we ALL need to remember to give grace wherever possible, (I myself regretfully entered this melee, and see now that even though I was trying to keep people from accusing each other, I ended up inescapably accusing people of accusing... I should have stayed out of it). We need to learn to follow Paul's example of thanking God for those very people he was frustrated with (1 Cor 1), to give our brothers and sisters the benifit of the doubt whenever possible, and to correct our opponents with Gentleness....

...However, I would like to make 2 points:

1. We ARE told to correct or opponents...but to do it with gentleness. We are told to correct error, to combat false teaching. To remove the speck from our nieghbors eye...AFTER we have removed the log from our own eye. That is exactly what you yourself were doing by posting the OP to demonstrate our judgementalism; You saw an error and wanted to expose it, which is what many on this board often seek to do. We often, however add more heat than light...but the light is needed. Even those of us who disagree with the sentiment of the quote, and believe this person has an incorrect attitude of superiority and animosity toward her fellow believers...must remember that we are not the final judge of people.

2. The I simply believe your statement (bolded) above is not true. It is true that we as christians still have all the self-righteous, defensive, attacking tendancies we had before we were saved. However, every unsaved person also has these. I Believe that the Holy spirit dwelling in the believer DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE...and believe that taken on the whole, true Christians DO treat their fellow man better and kinder than the average pagan.

There are some very nice pagans. But, when you, like me, have lived in a big city, and seen the pristine aloofness of corporate big-wigs, and the young ambitious businessmen who hope to be big-wigs some day...and see teenagers in vitriolic hate-filled spats; you see that we could be much worse. I'm not saying we are not bad, and I think a board like this is where you may see it worse, since the people who are attracted to debate forums are probalby more argumentative than most. (Though I suspect in person we would be much more cordial, and would not mis-understand each other so much.)

However, in person, in a church community where fellow believers can urge us in a kind direction, I believe knowing Christ DOES change a person into someone who is BOTH (1) more concerned with truth and righteousness than they used to be, and (2) more concerned with mercy, peacemaking, and forgiving the faults of others than they used to be.

So in spite of the BB, I cannot share your pessimism of the church and its people.

 

Actually, that's the role that fundamentalists love to play, and you're doing a great job of it here.

 

Although I place no titles on myself other then Christian I do thank you for that thought.
:smilewinkgrin:

 

It is no wonder the SBC wants to change their name.

 

To Your Words of Judgment....

.....Ichabod !!!

 

A Note to FAL, and others like him....

....I don't need your blessings; your wink and spiritual nod; your approval; your endorsement; your confirmation; your validation; your support or your backing to get to heaven. All I need is what I have, and that is the promise of my Father and Savior.

For your information, I know that I know, that I am saved. But, if you continue to go around questioning and condemning others on this board, you will be responsible for any spiritual harm they may incur, and that places their blood on your hands.

I'm certainly glad I'm not you, in fact, if heaven is going to be made up of folks like you....well, I'm blessed to know that your kind will not be there! And by that, I believe that before your kind (judgmentalistic) enters the gate, God will do some serious transforming of your overall spirit!

In case you've forgotten, my rite of passage has been granted through the blood of Christ on the cross, His eventual death (following a time of tremendous suffering) and the resurrection.

It is through what I have confessed and received that provides the key to the narrow door at Heaven's gate that guarantees my passage.

You are no more, or no less worthy than me, and you definitely have no right to go around casting condemnation on my salvation, or the salvation of any other brother or sister on this board.

Your words are not only rude. They are argumentative, and spiritually provoking (in a negative, aggressive, demeaning way), and I think it is time that others, including me, start reporting you for your inappropriate judgment of others by the name of healthy debate. Your approach to this board is offensive, demeaning, and not in the spirit of what Christ would do if He were here in person.

I'm going to heaven because of what Jesus did on Calvary, and what my Father has said. Your words, theology, thoughts, and judgment are nothing more than egocentric ideology, and if I was you, I'd check to make sure you are actually on the narrow path, because when it comes down to the sandals hitting the dirt and gravel of that rugged path, your spirit of condemnation leaves me to question if you are really my brother, or a demonic presence sent to make an already rough path just that much more difficult.

Praise God, I know who He is. I know full well who I am. And I have no doubts as to where I am spending eternity, and I am sure it will be with Him and not with folks like yourself, who have made a life out of judging others. Shame on you, and ICHABOD to your form of theology, which has a stench of rancid puke. In fact, maybe that's why you continue to go back to that form of hatred in your comments to other believers. The Scripture says a "dog will return to its vomit?" Is that what you are doing each time you puff yourself up and put down another?

Quite frankly, I am growing weary of your continued efforts to judge me based upon your feeble understanding of the Scripture. So back off with the judgment thing, FAL, it is old and becoming more rank with each thread you post.

I find it hard to believe that God has chosen someone like yourself to be the appointed or anointed leader who will lead all of us out of our messed up views of heaven and His Word. God does not need you to do His job. What He does need is for you to be concerned about your own witness and walk and not that of others.

Your way is a spiritual hindrance, especially to someone who may have less experience and faith that most of us, and your finger pointing can cause the weak in us to go further astray. Again, ICHABOD, and shame on you! You are not God, and definitely not my shepherd, pastor, preacher, teacher, or whatever you pretend to be!

So get out of my way, and the way of others, and tend to your own needs, because based upon what I've been seeing on this forum, you have some definite problems when it comes to getting along with others and joining in the fellowship of saints.

 

God bless :smilewinkgrin:

 

Chill out Dude. I think you really need to take a step back and assess in your life what things require such seriousness. You get really bent out of shape about things that happen on this board. You are going to put yourself in an early grave with a heart attack at the rate you are going. Slow down, take a deep breath, and realize that it doesn't matter what folks on a Internet forum say about you.

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

Ditto....

Happy Thanksgiving to you too!

 

It appears that the title of this thread is a self-fulfilling prophecy in some of the responses posted. How sad indeed. :tear:

 

Dude, seriously, nobody takes him seriously. Chill out. You're taking the bait here, and it's embarrassing.

 

Is this thread still going?

In all frankness, tim, if you think Christ approves of this "sister's" remarks, then you must not know Him very well.

 

Aaron....

.....this is the same Tim who supports helping illegal aliens. You know, the same illegals that come over our border, break the laws, and then lay a heavy guilt trip on society when they are deported.

Tim's heart is in the right place, just with the wrong cause, most of the time. I don't think Jesus would support most of the things he supports, but, I'm not God, and in the end, Tim may get some huge rewards for doing things you and I thought were wrong.

That is why we have to bite our conservative tongues, and let the Tim's of this world do as they feel led :thumbsup:
