1 John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
1 John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

It breaks my heart that people come here to play games with us. I consider this forum to be something like the Temple of God . . . a place where we should come and give our utmost best. Being playful, if not giddy at times seems to be good, but to intentionally cause disruption . . . it is difficult for me to tolerate, particularly when we are this way in front of the entire world (to read and experience). We are supposed to be Brothers and Sisters, treating each other with Love, thus when the world sees how we are with each other, it only furthers their conclusions . . . and hatred for us. For, if we hate one another, why should we be upset if the world hates us all?
I would be extremely happy to no longer post personal comments at this forum, but to act behind the scenes and help to bring a sense of respect to one another.
2 Timothy 2:25 NLT - "Gently instruct those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people's hearts, and they will learn the truth."

Sometimes people will enter the fray lost and confused. And in angst, speak out confrontationally, challenging an established status quo. Sometimes they are given the right information but need time to process. Sometimes that time to process can take years. Sometimes it can take years for a single comment to take hold. We show love towards people that oppose us. Love is patient, love is kind.
Prior to becoming Paul, if the Biblical Saul were posting on this forum, he would probably be banned in fairly short order too. Everything in its own time. Saul eventually became Paul. And perhaps too, years from now, God will work through the simplest of words from one of us here to reach out to someone that is lost or confused.

Oh man, Paul would have been banned even after his Damascus Road experience. He wrote about showing up in Corinth with whips and rods! lol
Paul even charged the Corinthian church with possibly not having a single soul there who could judge correctly. Or, how about his public flaming of Peter in Galatians 2? Jesus probably flamed more people than anyone.
