Really? So Paul is in hell then...

Galatians 2:11 When Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.

Galatians 3:! You foolish Galatians!

Galatians 3:10 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”

Are you suggesting that God wants us to live in rebellion to the law so we could not be accused of using the law for salvation instead of using Christ? Paul addresses conclusions such as this with the words "God forbid".

I am only quoting go\scripture, you are interpreting it, forgetting that God offers forgiveness to Christians who listened to Him. Paul repented of sin and was forgiven.

You need to be more specific. I don't think you are Judaising, but your words might be taken as such without proper context.

Colossians 2:13-15
And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

I'd like to know who the MODs are here. Who's facilitating this public perpetual "Christian" discord?
Click to expand...
Only discord on this site usually occurs in the BDF. Of course, there are some that would consider this discord to be healthy dialog in the discussion of the topic at hand and the current flow of the conversation.

Who was mod when our Lord was engaged with dialogue between the Lawyers, Pharisees and Saddueces and Scribes? or when Paul engaged in various controversies?

The bible is a book of debates and disputes.

No argument there as that certainly seems to be the case. Keeps things interesting though and the conversation flowing.

Some abuse their freedom, this is true. But not all. And if freedom weren't important, I think God would have made us sinless robots rather than people with freewill. I'm not saying that it is right to berate and belittle. But I am saying it is better to put up with a little berating than to kill free speech and only ever hear the Communist (devil-worshipping) narrative, which is pretty much all that is allowed to be spoken on most other sites.

I'm sorry, I don't have the time to go back and look at our communications to see what we have shared, but my thoughts are this: I'm not asking that our freedom of speech be taken away. I'm asking that we use our freedom to choose to be kind, gentle, soft, and tender toward one another. I am asking that people would turn to the Lord and ask them to Circumcise their hearts so that they will be Transformed from hearts of stone, to soft, gentle, and tender hearts of flesh. Scripture points us to this very idea; they are not my own.

Jeremiah 4:4 NKJV - "Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, And take away the foreskins of your hearts, You men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, Lest My fury come forth like fire, And burn so that no one can quench it, Because of the evil of your doings."

Ezekiel 36:26 NLT - "And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart."

If we do not reflect these passages, which happen to outline the Blessings of Abraham, then it means that we have not received the Circumcision of Christ. And if a person has not received the Circumcision of Christ, then it means that Satan remains as their Spiritual Father.

To be kind and gentle [is] one of the primary aspects of the Fruit of the Spirit. Paul, was a persecutor and murderer . . . changed completely to one who sought to "save some." His heart had been Spiritually Circumcised by Christ.

Well, I kinda' figured they would introduce themselves lol.... Perhaps give the common rabble an opportunity to ask questions like...
-How many nationalities and denominations does "CC" actually host?
-Where are the MODs themselves from?
-What does the future hold for "CC"?
Maybe clear some things up for those who come here seeking online "WWW" fellowship and find this confusing, in-cohesive mess. It's just difficult for me to accept that God's word inspires so much argument... Among Believers!

Perhaps this is a perfect example of why God divided us at the tower of Babel...

You seem rather confused. Please stay and let us help you.

1.) We have all varieties.
2.) Everywhere.
3.) Very weird question.

You definitely sound confused, but I'm not sure why. Discussion is not necessarily division and argument. Have you had a bad experience on CC? Please elaborate. We love you. We want to help you.

Blik . . . I hope that you're doing well. Be sure to let me know when and if you need my strong prayers. My heart is with you.

Wow. I can't believe someone just quoted this section of the Bible. How completely, totally, and utterly rare. Props to you for recognizing such incredibly important Scripture.

Correct. Everything was a crackpot "conspiracy theory" until it was not. But after there was egg on every face, there were no apologies.

You certainly have a propensity for exaggeration.

As I said at least twice recently, I don't "suggest"; I say what I mean, and I said nothing of the sort. Let's try to stay on topic, shall we?

So once again, do you think that Paul is in hell because he labelled the Galatians as "foolish", or Peter as "condemned"?

Yup. As little as a year ago, some were arguing that Canada was not a Communist nation. Do all those patriots who had their money stolen or the truckers whose trucks were stolen get reimbursed by those so blind they couldn't see Communism staring them direct in the face? Not even so much as an apology.

Apology? How utterly un-Canadian!

Wait...
