Where has all the Love gone?

rd2, enough of the apologies already! As Popeye used to say, "I yam what I yam and that's all that I yam..."

It was once said that some really do try to find fault like there's a reward for it. Little minded people to say the least. Professionals can agree to disagree absent the disparaging remarks. Only the little minded people chose to argue.

Personally, I don't see where you've been offensive as you hold dear to your passions..., just as your foes do. Have you rubbed some fur the wrong way? Perhaps..., but it will all fall back in place.

If proven wrong I'll stand corrected. I find it very easy to apologize if I've offended or hurt someone but otherwise, I consider that I'm as entitled to my opinion(s) as anyone else.

Christian "love"? This reference is often just an excuse. Something for folks to hide behind when they attempt to find fault.

 

Put me down for a great big "L I K E "!

I have put two on ignore and though I still see their posts when quoted, it somehow is not as abrasive as when read directly. I have been amazed at the calmness this practice has afforded me in surfing this BB

TRY IT, YOU'LL LIKE IT!!!!!! :thumbs::thumbs:

 

Only two? P-f-f-f-ft

Rookie. :laugh:

Yes, it does help immensely.

 

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Hoo-boy.

 

Nothing wrong with treating others as we would like to be treated.

 

RDII is a passionate dude. It happens to a lot of us.

 

BINGO!!!:applause:

There are simply people in this world who don't want any of their untruths, stereotypes, or disobediences challenged as being what they are.

They demand "judgment free" zones because they want everyone to agree with what they say without challenge.

God's word says that 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Tim 3:16

He wouldn't have given us the word by which to righteously judge in love if it were not his intent.

But what I've found is that the very people who chew people up and spit them out for not sharing the same POV on issues always seem to be the very ones who don't want you to righteously judge their behavior and disobedience.

The OP asks the same thing that I have asked for years? Where's the love? Where's the love for the neighbors? Where's the love for the folks who don't share the majority's POV? Where's the love for the poor? The widow The oppressed?

If people in the Body of Christ were loving Christ and others as they should instead of in accordance with who agreed with their political morals, then the question would not have to be asked.

While I applaud the OP and the intent of this thread, it will mean essentially nothing until certain people stop treating anyone and everything that doesn't measure up to their political morality as modern day lepers.

 

This is because I am a very tolerant person, or as my wife once told me, after I commented that our 50th is close & I asked how she had put up with me for so long ---- she quickly responded --- "I have the gift of long-suffering." I almost spewed coffee on her with that retort.
So, I also am long-suffering!!!:love2:

 

:laugh: Congratulations on the upcoming 50th. I love to brag on couples like you guys because it is encouraging to see folks take their vows seriously.

 

You mean if we disagree with the policies of the president, don't approve same sex, want to secure borders and destroy Isis, we are judgemental?

 

Ahhhh funny! :laugh:

 

Ho Haaa haaaa.....hey Y.....now your becoming a Bush Wacker.....ha ha ha, nice going:thumbs:

 

It is easy to fall into the trap of forgetting that the people on the other end of the computer are our brothers and sisters. Written vs spoken communication.
