Debating and being "argumentative and provoking" are two different things. It seems no matter what, or in what spirit, a person posts, certain people always answer in a way that cuts down or tries to instigate the other person. Most people can see it, some choose to think it's OK. I'm one that doesn't.
Rip is just obeying the KJV- And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: (Heb. 10:24):smilewinkgrin:
