Have you ever admitted you were wrong on BB

I have apologized on this board, not only because I was mistaken but also because I had expressed a truth with an arrogant attitude.

I also confess that I have the following attitude: I may be wrong but I'm rarely in doubt.

 

I would but I don't recall ever being wrong... :laugh:


J/K. Yes, I have apologized and am always glad to do so... :thumbs:

 

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :thumbs:

 

I have. Sometimes it's not easy to do, but is necessary to keep us humble.

Kind of ironic there are some who haven't posted on this thread that have all the answers on every other

 

I have not posted in any thread that God has not given me peace about what I post.

There, I posted. You can stop with the accusations now.

 

Talk about guilty conscience! I don't recall ever mentioning names.

If the shoe fits...

Funny how you never did say you have admitted when you were wrong, or ever having apologized. It must be nice to know you are fully sanctified.

 

No guilty conscience at all, webdog.

We all know who you are talking about. It doesn't take a rocket science... just godly wisdom and discernment.

Actually, I have admitted in the past on the BB that I was wrong. But that was in 2007 and was deleted by admins clearing some posts. Many of my posts were lost much to the delight of those advocating alcohol in the life of a believer.

 

I've been involved in a lot of political discussions these past couple weeks...I actually had some in those discussions in mind.

Like I said...guilty conscience.

 

Yer having a guilty conscience? Talk to God.

 

None on my part...I didn't jump into this thread basically stating "you are talking about me".

Unlike you, I will not be fully sanctified until I meet Christ.

 

Really? You aren't sanctified?

I find many verses in the New Testament that state the Believer is sanctified already by the blood of Christ.

My Bible tells me I am sanctified, justified, glorified and He is satisfied.

Hebrews 13:12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.

Romans 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

1 John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

 

Pros:
1. God commands humility. We are being disobedient when we refuse to admit we're wrong because it is rooted in pride.
2. We are made right with God when we rid ourselves of pride.
3. If we refuse to admit we're wrong, we end up looking like fools and lose integrity.

Cons:
Can't think of any.

Yes. I would not respect him if he thought he was absolutely right on everything.

I have apologized many times on the BB. I mess up frequently.

 

The only thing I ever did wrong was thinking I made a mistake!:laugh:

Of course I have, I am a real Christian y'know!

 

Tim, let me be the first to say.....there have been many, many times I have admitted you were wrong.





Wait.....er......um......nevermind.

 

I suppose it could become a matter of pride in itself. A person could say: "Look at me! I always admit when I am wrong, but Brother or Sister So-and-so never does!"

 

Sorta like "I was voted most humble person in my church and am proud to wear the title on my shirt collar."?

 

Yes, and like the Charles Dickens character, Uriah Heep, who says in the book "David Copperfield":

I am well aware that I am the 'umblest person going.

​

But in the context of this thread, let me say that the danger of not admitting our faults at all is far more likely than admitting them in a boastful way.
