Topic Closed

Huh?

 

Well thanks for playing...don't forget to pick up your parting gifts at the door.

 

Hey....I didn't get no gifts....oh, mabey I didn't leave in enough of a huff!

I thought that was his last post.

 

I agree with a lot of what you said David, but don't believe the fullness of it was embodied by a topic being closed, although it certainly seemed to have triggered it!

Since you addressed me, as part of this board, I challenge you to not simply rant at me and walk away, for such is the behavior of a child, not an adult man, and certainly not one of your upbringing.

I was poor, I was suffering, and guess who helped me? Members of this board. I was sent money to fix my car so I could go to church, by one member. Another member on here signed me up with HSLDA and paid a year's worth of dues. Another paid for me to move away from the bad situation and has supported me since then as I go to school so that I can support myself and my family later. I have been prayed for a number of times, and counseled by many.

Yes, there are a lot of jerks here, and a lot of worthless and meaningless and even downright idiotic shpeels.

Yet, there remains a core of decent people that has renewed my faith in Christianity over the years. For a group this small, and 13,000 people out of the whole world really is just a fraction, I am amazed at the number of decent people. We definitely have at least 10 righteous, and maybe even 10 real Baptists, so maybe we'll get spared, eh?

Try to cool off and reflect on the fact that you don't know everything or everyone before you lose your temper again, ok?

Guess I missed something... what was he talking about?

 

While I don't agree with most of the things that Dave has mentioned, I do however believe that there is way too much debating and arguing between us "Christian" folks on this board or in general.

I don't believe God intend on us debating the issues like we do. It just seems like a lot of the topics that are started, start off on a good track, and people are giving their opinion of how they see things fitting in with God's plan and the Bible, but then it turns into a brawl where everyone can't let the "other" guy get the last word.

If you finally take a stand and say, ok, let's agree to disagree, you're labeled as middle of the road, with no opinion, no backbone.

SO, again, although I don't agree with most of the Dave's points, I do think we should and could do a better job at respecting each other and helping each other grow in Chirst instead of having to "be right" all the time.

Wow, I still owe 12,000 dollars on my college fund if anyone is interested. LOL

 

David,

While I don't know you and don't know the topic you are angry about I would like to say something. You seem to have a good heart that is full of justice. You want to see God represented well and for this I appreciate you being my brother in Christ. I would say stay and try to make a difference. I don't always agree with folks, but I do enjoy the Christian fellowship I have with some great brothers and sisters in Christ. God bless and hope to see you around these parts.
