People questioning others character

Actually, TS, not knowing the full situation, you don't know whom committed what, now do you?? I mean honestly, talk about false accusations of the brethren and misrepresentation as a person claiming to be saved.

 

Get real, Patrick. I did accept your apology and even apologized for possibly misinterpreting your motives. If you want to continue the "fighting", then continue without me.

 

I am currently reading the posts of this thread.

Just wanted to let you guys know, I have not read any posts before now, I do not know the situation. After reading the posts maybe I will have an understanding of the difficulty in this thread.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I have read the entirety of this thread. What I am about to post is not set in stone, I am only a co-moderator of this forum and if my conclusion is not satisfactory, then any one of you is welcome to contact another moderator.

I believe the nature of a pm is just what it states, it is private.

I believe it is error to use this as a means to attack or harass anyone at anytime for any reason.

I believe in the posting throughout this thread that I have recognized an honest apology from both parties involved.

I believe now, the rest of us are merely stirring the pot and rather than preparing a meal to the edification of our spirits, we are both boiling over and causing the sticking of the meat.

I sincerely hope both parties are apologetic. I believe each party committed error, that is to first attack someone in private, but that to imagine on such a forum as the BB that we can engage possibly with our beliefs crossing those of 12,000 plus other Christians without being offended, is impossible.

We all need to realize this and give thought to it in each of our posts.

I believe this very thread, though accomplishing the purpose of apology, perhaps, at the same time is an error because it has only served to pull others into the fray, who perhaps have no real understanding of the matter, and subsequently has or could result in hurt feelings among many.

I do not have time and I suspect the other moderators do not either, to follow this out to its source. However, I do have time to monitor this thread and if it continues to be used as a means of personal attack of either the original poster or the second party, or if it is to fall into a general free for all as it appears to be heading, I will not hesitate to delete it without further warning.

This could be a worthy topic, now that the dirty laundry has been aired, it should be cleaned, dried and put away for use as needed.

In saying that, I mean this error has occurred, been made public and now imho, has been cleaned and we should attempt to see what is edifying for ourselves as children of God and take that to ourselves for future drawing upon in His service.

This is the course I recommend. If it cannot be followed after the time of my posting this, I will delete the thread. AS I said, if you have problem with this, do not post anything offensive or targeting to any individual until you have notified a fellow moderator to correct me.

My feelings will not be hurt, nor will my respect of you or any who would correct me be damaged.

Like Bro. Dallas---I haven't been following this thread, either----but will stand with Bro. Dallas from this point forward in correction, editing, and closing of thread if backbiting is not stopped.

The term 'troll' is used when we spot someone who may be posting things to cause dissension or incite fights. It's not implying...

 

Agreed Brother Patrick.

 

Sister Diane,
You shouldn't post that photo of the general baptist forum's moderators

That was on a good day.

Bro. Dallas

 

LOLOL, that's me in purple.

 

Put some clothes on!

Just think, if it hadn't have been for that picture, I wouldn't have known you moderators were a bunch of hippie streakers!

In reply to Patrick and AVL1984--GROUP HUG!!

 

Let's see...Blackbird, Dr. Bob, Roger, Diane, Sue....Dan Todd.

 

I'm the red one.

I deleted the two posts this one was referring to, therefore, I had to edit this one.

I edited this post because it was a quote of one of the posts I deleted.

The BB is a place of fellowship. Do we all agree? No.

IMHO, we will not all agree this side of glory. Does this mean one disagreeing with me is lost, a heretic, or any other name I would call them?

No. I imagine we all have been called these names, it does not do ourselves any good to take these names seriously.

Here is a verse that helps me when I feel attacked, note that I said it helps me . Judgment of anything received as truth must begin with myself, IMHO. If I am not willing to honestly assess my own beliefs, then how am I to correctly assess those of others?

You know that many topics are hot issues because everyone has their own opinion. But there are forums you can post on that are considered a "fellowship" forum. I've seen you post on a few.

Is the BB a place of fellowship? I think so.
Are all topics here fellowship related? No.

 

Dear Gib,
I made an error. I edited King James' post, then I added my own 'post'.

The statement you take up is my statement, not that of King James.

In that statement, I once again erred. I failed to clarify myself. I did not mean to insinuate the BB was not a place of fellowship, but that we each do not always agree in our fellowship.

Sorry if I caused anyone any confusion in my wording and posting in King James' post.

The BB is a place of fellowship.

Do we all always agree with one another? No.

Bro. Dallas

 

I should have read the 1st line, uh?

 

FROGMAN EDITED THIS POST BY KING JAMES: THE FOLLOWING IS NOT KING JAMES' REMARKS! King James would like that understood.
