Thanks for insulting me "brother", its just what I needed this morning.
My sons birthday is today. I would call Him to say I love you very much and Happy Birthday, but he would hang up on me as soon as he heard my voice. Why? Let's just say that my ex wife did a number on him and leave it there.
My other son hasn't spoken to me in years because I pleaded with him a little too aggressively to not take the shot.
Same for my youngest daughter. She was planning on getting married and I tried to warn her that the shot was making people infertile, all easily verified by existing data. Instead of honoring her father so that her life might be long upon the earth, she cut me off.
My oldest daughter who claims to be a Christian has never gotten over the divorce, we don't speak either.
I have eight grandchildren whom I love dearly, and yet may never see again.
I come to these forums for fellowship, to discuss in good faith the Holy Word of God, and to hopefully contribute in some meaningful way to the Kingdom.
A proper and Godly response to my statement might have been, "that's an interesting take, how did you come to that conclusion?"
But no, that's not what we do around here, is it?
So thanks, I had had about enough anyway. Enough of the insults, the accusations, the Trump worship, the Israel worship, the Darby Delusions, the name calling, jingoism, etc etc.
There are some wonderful, loving, patient, kind, insightful, spirit filled, forgiving, merciful, humble and repentant people on this sight. I'm grateful for their kind words and wise counsel.
And then there's the other 90% of the forum.
Folks like you, who immediately reject and ridicule that which they do not understand. And not in a kind way. Don't get me wrong, I'm not above the fray, but at least I have the ability through the Spirit of Christ to recognize my own behavior and repent of it when necessary. And that's what I'm doing now.
Repenting of ever visiting this ungodly website.
I just wanted a place where I could go and talk with other people about my Savior, share my experience and all that Christ has done and is doing in my life, and hear from others what He is doing in their lives and maybe learn something.
What I found was a group of rigid, judgmental, self important, self righteous pharisees. Who shout anyone down who even slightly disagrees with them. Do you have any idea how many times I've been told right here in this forum that I'm not even a believer because I don't happen to agree with someone's particular eschatology or religious ideology, or because I didn't worship Donald Trump, or because I dared to speak up about the wholesale slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent women and children in Gaza?
Its more than I can count.
This place is sick. Christ is not glorified. And sincere seekers of truth are vilified.
What must the lost be thinking when they come here to take a closer look into Jesus? I'll tell you what they think, everything I just mentioned above.
"There is no greater tyranny, than that of ones own opinions."
Christ warned us, Paul warned us. Peter warned us, and yet we continue to divide and devour one another over petty disagreements of opinion.
Bad company corrupts good morals.
So before I completely lose sight of why I'm here, before I cross over that same line and begin behaving out of foolish pride and intellectual conceit, I'll just move along and leave you fellows to your echo chamber.
Thanks again. I'm sure you just wanted to bring me into the light, and you have.
