Count it all joy!!!!!

Amen and Amen isn't it great. Holy Spirit come down and fill this place, let you sweet prescence flow and flood every soul with your glory and grace. Anybody know the rest of the words.

Finally, something I can "Amen" in this thread.

 

I really must say that posts like this one are only going to create a wider divide and more animosity, especially if you insist on prodding "them" in other forums.

If you deem yourself to be so much more spiritual than "them", then be spiritual enough to not propagate the bickering.

 

I would encourage all who call themselves fundies to continue to post in the other forums. If we all leave, a major conservative voice goes away.

Also, I would encourage the more liberal to continue to follow the threads of interest and see how discussions go when we don't question the Word.

Fellow Fundies, let us not put forth a bunch of hateful and/or threads that have no purpose. I am NOT saying this has happened. Just remember though, we are thought of as schismatic for the sake of being schismatic - we aren't. We separate for the sake of integrity and truth and because it honors Christ. I am afraid we aren't done bleeding though.

Out like my last band-aid.

 

I don't believe that I did miss the point. By your own admission, your post was meant as "bait" to those you knew were "lurking".

As to their "constant berating" of the "fundies".... *shrug* as the title of your post says....count it all joy.

As to your respect for Post-it, I agree that we can all learn something from positive examples. 1 Peter 2:21-23

 

I say Amen! let's keep a godly testimony in this forum.

We should try to please the Lord our Saviour...for He's a "lurker" too... the eyes of the Lord are in every place...beholding the evil and the good. (that's from memory in case I didn't quote it verbatum)

Love your neighbor as yourself. Why do I keep repeatedly posting this particular scripture? Maybe it's because repetition is the key to learning... And, I need this admonision too.

 

Amen, Wisdom Seeker! I have been just as guilty as many of the posters on here, forgetting the WHOLE WORLD could be lurking at what goes on in our posts! But even more than that, God is lurking here too!

So, I repent if I've offended anyone. I am really going to work on being kinder, watch my fingers (what I type) & thinking first, and try to be positive!

However, this does NOT mean I'm going to be less firm in what I believe, only try to be kinder.

 

No comment.

 

You said he convicted you of being confrontational. It was not "being there" that was confrontational, but "what you said".

SBG, I hope you take this in the spirit in which it was intended.

 

Sigh, when you contend for the faith you will be somewhat confrontational. Read some of the early Christians and see the things they said about the anti-Christs and such. We worry about being polite way too much. When I read some of those lads I feel like a milquetoast.

 

Well, yes, but Paul also told Timothy that our confrontation needs to be done with gentleness and humility.

 

SBG, you said "the Lord did convict me of posting in that area, and being confrontational." It was *you* who told *me*, or have you forgotten already? How were you confrontational (which the Lord convicted you of), if not in what you said (which you are not sorry for)? I'm just trying to understand.
