i think every single one of us who spend time in the Bible Discussion Forum ((BDF)) have felt the same way. and we've turned around and made others feel the same too.
we have to figure out a way to be zealous for the truth and be loving and kind and forgiving towards each other at the same time.
we all do. we're all awful at it.
we're family. we fuss and poke at each other but at the end of the day we sit down together and eat from the same table
take a break and pray. i know. come back and be better than the things that hurt you ♥
it's a world of hurt people hurting each other, and we're being redeemed from it
Thats ok, your right everybody falls short in nature. people get annoyed,
to. what kicked me of was watching other people become upset the same as i did. charisharron apolagized for coming on as being to strong. when he made reference from his very first post on this website in his introduction in the welcoming site of expectation from others.
He knew it was wrong to come on to strong and apolagized we forgave him, shared in his thrustration then he started of all over again.
I Had a questionare sent to me Which i felt was questioning human nature and christianity the wrong way i ignored it. then i saw the same questionaire be sent to others. from a title of a thread that suggested your doing something wrong, are you mortifying the deeds of the flesh.
What i then felt like and this was after one week befor i became annoyed was indication of sinless perfection was going on, I didnt really know what to do with that and my shortcoming i didnt handle the situation very well. I feal now i should have because i had a conviction from the holy spirit i failed to act upon. I wasnt sure at the time if it was from the holy spirit.
i became upset because i felt sinless perfection was being preached on the basis of our shortcomings in your very nature and felt concerned for him that maybe he was being led astray by the enemy.
I asked him are you preaching sinless perfection and are you aware that your posts and thread are implying sinless perfection.
he then made reference i was a western christian who cant handle being offended.
My short coming is i shouldnt have asked him that way.
But That was it i blew my top... because i also felt that other people where blowing there top the same way. (my concern was the enemy could now get a hold of other christians once they become annoyed to, which i began to see the enemy getting a hold of other christians after they became annoyed even befor i lost my cool. (ie people staying annoyed to long is not Good) . I saw an agenda rising where people where getting more an more anoyed with his manner and his suggestions by the day.
I wondered if he he had been hurt in some way to and then felt convicted i was behaving the same way, that i had hurt him the same and others and that i was staying annoyed to long, which i feal he as to own up to the fact that he fails in this short coming to
I then had another christian imply i dint have any quailties in kindess, I thought perhaps i should have more concern for him, my shortcoming is i do fail in this field sometimes and i polagise.
Then i read this book hes read which also makes you feal as if your not a christian if you you lose your temper.
The titles of his threads i felt where ridiculous over the top this is when i felt sinless perfection had well and truly got a hold of him.
i then saw realy not to big of a deal of questions being escalated into highly insultive arguments. Like Jesus did not have long hair or tatoos are of the devil,
Or how dare the church still keep Jesus on the cross.
One issue after the next is all I saw to
He made reference he had been on facebook and twitter for years having issues with other christians. I thought maybe hes beens highly insulted on facebook and twiiter and its gota hold of him.
i thought maybe people have corrupted his way of thinking to.
I have short comings to and i have been convicted i was upset at my self for not handling the whole agenda very well and i have been convicted, because i realise people have issues and hurt.
Im convicted ive hurt his fealings when i should have been a bit more kind and gentle in my approach to dealing with all his issues, which he needs to off load.
I realise christians are senceitive and care about there faith and Jesus and how we should behave as christians
I was convicted of my short comings and i apolagise to you.
Ive been convicted befor when ive seen a person get angry for my upset and i try not to concern other people with my upset because of that.
Im learning to take my issues more and more to the holy spirit. Yestersay i was convicted and then imeadiately felt washed clean of my hurt and at the same time adviced on how i should deal with my short comings and other peoples.
Charish does also have to learn this that he is holding scars just like me
And if he wants to still be my friend im there for him.I
I mean it i really do
