I am afraid Bill, Jon is not coming back. And I went and read the post that he questioned. I thought it was awful.
There was nothing about being a Christian in any of the Post but Wisdom Seekers, and Jonmagee's. I wish now I would have went to that topic. Truthfully, I avoided it, because it was posted by Dr. Bob. I did not want to argue or fight.
Now, not only Jonmagee is not on the board, but several others aren't. There was no example of Christian love, forgiveness, teaching, or respect, where exactly was that Christian Love. I read all the post, not just some. I was ashamed of some I had really come to respect and know. Shoot fire, there was going to be a hanging that night, come hell or high water!
When those people went back to their homes, Dorms, rooms, or wherever it is they lay their heads, what message did they lay down with?
There is shame when Christians act like heathens. There is shame when Christians have hate in them like a pagan world. No excuse is a good excuse. I really am totally in disgust of how people acted, and how they are still acting. No regard that they have really hurt some people.
How can people representing themselves as Christians; God's child, reach a world, when they cannot even type "I am sorry", or "I love you", or "I realize you do not understand so I forgive you". How can you be Christians, and show no compassion or love for others, even those in other countries.
Where was your example? You are a living stone! Every time someone passes by, you should be telling of all the things God has done in your lives. You should be telling how God plucked you out of a sinful world, and set you up right, in His glorious righteousness, Jesus Christ.
"Well he/she was talking about our President, or our Country." So what. You were talking about him/her. He/she is a person. He/she reacted to wanting some dignity left for him/her. People all around the world are talking about our President.
You are all the same people in the "Lord in Vain" topic, who say you really wouldn't say anything, because that person was lost. You would ask them to please not say it. But in the same mouth, you would condem a person because he was not American, he was French. If only you would have defended God as good, or well, as you did President Bush.
I hope this is how everyone wanted it. Because really good people, really good Christians have left the board. And this is sad. A vessel has been broken.
Thank you Wisdom Seeker and Jonmagee. I am sorry I avoided the post, I should have been there. I did not know that was what the thread was about, until too late.
