I am pobable going to make a lot of people mad but God grow up I have read a lot of the post lately and I swear if I did not know better I would say that this forum is full of 9 year olds. Bottom line is this we are all Christian or are soppost to be and like it or not we are all brothers in Christ that is something that you can not argue about. We are all one in Christ and as brother we should build each one of us up. Every one preachs the Bible on here and can quote the verses very well how about living them for a change. We are all washed in the BLOOD and our name's are in the Book of life. There is more fighting in the world and hate than we know. But the body of Christ should not be that way.
I am sorry if I have affended anybody here it is just somthing that needed to be said.
Right, don't be a Verse to hear, be a Verse to see!
one of the best things Ive ever heard said on this site

Renfrowridge-
I couldn't agree with you more. There are some guys in here that are a part of a prayer team I'm in, and that keeps me coming back. I don't spend as much time in here as I used to because of the lack of fruit shown. It seems to be the same old players in here arguing back and forth, which plays perfectly into the enemies plans. For the most part, I think this forum has become quite unhealthy for a select few. I bet they know who they are as soon as they read that. I hope this forum has not become a substitute for the fruitful and Godly fellowship that we are to have with the church body.
What bothers me most is the new christians, or those that are close to a decision, coming in here all excited about a religion forum that are turned away by the attitude or this mean spirited talk that lurks around every other post. There needs to be a lot of prayer for this group in here. I don't mean that in a mean way, but this is how I perceive this place.
I have met some GREAT men of God in here- and proud to have the priviledge of praying with and for them. I have learned a lot from some of my brothers in here, but in my opinion- there are some that need to stop typing and stay as far away from this forum as possible. But like a dog returning to its vomite.........

Personaly I don't see enough negativity here at this time to warrant such critisism. If I did I would simply stay away without out even dropping by to point a crooked finger.
In my opinion this is not a methodist, pentecostal, baptist, or even a christian site, so debates and disagreements will be a given. I don't see anyone being cussed, ridiculed or threatened at the present time so it seems that it's a personal problem of a few.
I may suggest doing a google search for a site where a person can be among like believers if debating and the consequential ferver is a problem for you.
A lot of this comes from little behind the scenes cliques, boiling over when one of its own seems to be taking some flack. But where are you when its someone outside of your little club?

Mac-
Turning it into a personal attack is exactly why I haven't been around much. I'm not pointing my "crooked" finger at anyone, but giving my perspective on a hole that keeps getting deeper. You have actually done me a favor- you talk about there is going to be debating- yes, there will be- but 99% of the time it turns into a personal attack. Thank you for proving my point and being the perfect example.(Prov. 18:6&7) My only wish is that when one starts slipping, he's not dragging others down with him. Misery loves company.
Bro Mac, you are not my enemy. I can honestly say I am not the least bit mad with you, and I hope we can pray for our brothers on this forum including each other. I don't know you well enough to not like you, nor will I pursue the chance to get to know you.
As far as I'm concerned this conversation is over, I will not get into one of your little pissing matches with you.

Mac you have made my point. ( I may suggest doing a google search for a site where a person can be among like believers if debating and the consequential ferver is a problem for you.)
IshotBambi, have it as you will, however as I see you very seldomly contributing to the site and then when you do you liken it to vomit, I take some offence.
Renfrow, I really don't have anything against you. As a matter of fact I admire your giving nature and your fiesty spirit. However you have been on kind of a tear lately, becoming indignant over one subject or another. A couple of threads you started I saw that you had deep feelings over and I refrained from posting what I really thought in order not to become at odds with you. But it looks like we're going to fall out anyway . . .so be it. Your good folk and I hate to see you go if you do. The thing about it is tho is that I have an opinion too and regardless of how much I think of you at some point I'm going to give it to you.

Bro you are right on target here, but as you well know, your opinion is only welcome if you are in agreement with everyone. If you dare stand for what you believe is taught in the scripture, you become a trouble maker, you have a bad spirit, should repent for having an opinion, and above all else, keep your opinion to yourself lest you awake someone out of their slumber. Remember the rules, every religion is welcome to post as long as they agree with me.
Grow up
