no this thread did not begin to talk about people
that is simply an idea that 3 of you, with one now banned, decided would make a good story
thing is, you, mr banned and selah decided to accuse me with false statements and accusations. maybe correct the way you operate before telling others how they should act
@Niki7 …. On another thread, your exact words were the following: “There is nothing whatsoever in the Bible that will agree with your beliefs about the elect are chosen and the rest of us poor slobs get to choose. Nothing.”
That statement was the basis for this thread. No one EVER accused you of being “unchosen,” or in your own words, one of “the rest of us poor slobs” who have free choice.
The fact is, you jumped on what you believed to be false doctrine that actually was not. You may not agree with another Christian’s interpretation of election, but if you don’t, just provide scriptural evidence so we can ALL benefit. People often disagree on interpretations of scripture. It happens all the time here, and people have vigorous debates. That’s great. But there is never any reason to be mean-spirited when we disagree; unfortunately, however, many are. CC has lots of “extra-grace-required” people here trying to participate and learn—people who NEED fellowship and encouragement. Some of them may not agree with you, even when you think you have a question all together worked out. Maybe their persistence in “interrupting” is no more than attempt to get you to see something you may not have considered—or maybe they (or you) just don’t understand. That is NO reason to label someone “divisive.”
As far as false accusations go, you have made QUITE a few. I am not trying to tell you how to act. The Spirit should be producing fruit….
I have no power to make it grow in you.
Believe me, I won’t post on this thread again—unless I see more name-calling or unkind
remarks or people banned just because their presence is not wanted in a debate.
