Why do the people that cannot be civil need to win.

You are always civil and kind.

I guess one reason to close the thread is so that those that preach the true gospel are no longer heard, but, I just think that is sad for anyone who is searching.

I and dCon and Preacher disagree we are still civil, they have never attacked me personally and we still discuss.

None of us can change someone's behavior but we can ignore and not allow them to bait us we see the true colors now we are all aware of the tactics.

Time to shut it down.

It has become nasty and vindictive.

I have come to know people on this thread, gentle kind loving people willing to discuss and then see posts that are defensive, judgemental and vindictive.

I find myself falling foul at times of myself on this thread and to be honest I didn't come here for this.

I just hope and pray that non believers haven't seen this thread.

Professors of Jesus backbiting each other, slagging each other off. Also seeing people react in a way that they accuse each other off.

Very sad indeed and everyone of us will account for our words to each other and interaction when we meet Jesus.

We will also answer for those that have do not know Jesus and have read this thread as well.

John 13:34-35
34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

1 John 2

3By this we know that we have come to know Him,if we keep His commandments. 4The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; 5but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him: 6the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.

I do believe scripture say liars have their part in the Lake of Fire.

2 major words here:

WE, indicating christians.

IF, indicating we have a choice.

"if" "we" keep His commandments

"In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And, "his commands are not burdensome." because everyone born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world: "our faith." 1John5:3. The "Victory" is our faith in Jesus Christ.

Your post speaks of pride and how good you must be in God's eye's. The bold letters say it all. Where's the humility; where's the loving kindness; I will give an account for my Christian life; as you will also.

"So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God." Romans14:12

"For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it." James2:10

The salvation "plus works group", are sure a "proud" lot of people; God accepted Able's sacrifice; Cain's He did not; and "Cain went away angry." "you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."Matt1:21

Coming face to face with Jesus at His baptism John the Baptist said; "He must increase, but I must decrease; The One who comes from above is above all. The one who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks as one from the earth. The One who comes from heaven is above all." John3:30,31.

Fran is most likely fed up with the hypocrisy.... tired of people who live in glass houses throwing stones... I don't remember how but I saw how Fran was being treated and decided to come in and share.. I will admit that the thread is one of the worst I have witnessed and we had some folks back in the day that would set you straight but knew their Bible and did not behave like this..

Some of those that I went head to head with became people I became friends with... even to this day.... yet I find myself being drawn in to the behaviour and apologise to the Almighty if I have not served Him well.. my zealousness must be tamed and rally for rally is not the order...

We are not an example for those that come seeking.. time we knocked it on the head and got back to learning together in humility.

This thread has hit rock bottom, that's for sure, the arrogance, pride and works of the flesh in the name of God are evident,

it is also evident that some people will never learn, and all they wish to do is bellitle, attack, and slander others,

Why not get Dcon to shut it down, then?

Sure go ahead,

Even if we said it, it will not prove anything, if you all stop posting there would be nothing him and I could do, there would be no thread left.

actually that's kind of a "good" thing because then you can know how one thinks and how to speak to each person individually,because if you establish someone's mind set then you can establish understanding,eventually...

Too bad you don't live the Bible.

Your good works (or lack of them) show you don't know God as well as you think.

You know nothing about me cutie.

How's about scolding those who do not serve God?

Are you one of them?

Yes. Today the black sheep are White
and the White sheep are black.

Wonderful goings on in the Church.
Maybe Jesus will be back soon?
