In an argument, your emotional investment in winning takes precedence over subject.

In a debate, two sides come together to define a subject. :cool:

That's kinda' my point...
I expect to be ridiculed and even cancelled on other sites because of my Christian views. But why HERE?

I honesty believe there are wolves in sheep's clothing here... and some have obviously been here a while!

You are correct. New ones come in every week, and that isn't counting the ones that the moderators snatch out before we ever see them. Satan is working overtime here. Maybe that means we are doing something right. (y)

Since Babbel, we've only been capable and prideful enough to challenge each other instead of God.

i am sure people today are prideful enough to challenge God, and sure also that no one has ever been capable of truly challenging Him, even tho they have from the beginning.

Nimrod, a mighty hunter of men, was building a fortress at Babel to make a name for himself. he was worshiped as 'Marduk' and the constellation we know as Orion was named for him. he was an extraordinarily powerful man, called a mighty one, similar to the nephilim before the flood. tradition among the Jews is that when Esau sold his birthright to Jacob, he was on the run from just having killed Nimrod - explaining why he said he would die if he did not get some stew. he was not planning to stay at home; he was being no doubt pursued by Nimrod's men, in fear for his life.

so what kind of things was God preventing by confusing our languages? would we be able to overthrow God?
absolutely not! but what kind of man is this Nimrod, who built Babel? he and his people would have gone on to do extraordinary evil on the earth, if God had not 'handicapped' us this way.
yes, this is for our good - just like it is for our good that we do not live hundreds of years anymore: to keep us from becoming as wicked as we would if we were left able to be.

However, a certain number of us Christians who are led by the Spirit are easily recognized and singled out by secular society.

i wouldn't be too sure that it's only Christians led by the Spirit that are recognized and persecuted by the world. there are a lot of people who seem to think that whatever they do, as long as the world condemns them, that is evidence that what they are doing is right.
and i wouldn't be too sure that every Christian led by the Spirit is recognized and singled out by the world, either. while it's true that the world will hate us for His sake and it's 'woe when all people speak well of you' it's not necessarily the case that the world even takes notice of Christians walking in the Spirit - if i do spiritual things but the world can't discern spiritual things, isn't it possible they don't recognize what i do? and in addition to this, people who are walking in wisdom and love, by the Spirit, may be regarded widely even among the world with respect for their gentleness, their understanding and their compassion - such respect is a blessing from God - because as Paul wrote, 'against these things there is no law'

I believe we're entering a time when "Those who persecute Christians will believe they're doing God's work" and the NWO will not tolerate the Spirit.

I worked on this some more after posting it. ^ That looks quite early in the design process :D

I can see I changed the lower right corner in a way I preferred before. I will see about editing it back :)

I'd like to know who the MODs are here. Who's facilitating this public perpetual "Christian" discord?

Actually, if we all just agreed all the time the discussion would be - boring.. lol..

Maybe not, but it's definitely not lively when everyone agrees. Lol.

Part of me likes the disagreement, another part prefers beautiful agreement... I guess I'm somewhere in between in the end.

Today I find I had reason to recall the wisdom my cousin offered after he was a moderator on a bible study forum for awhile.

Must remember, being registered on a forum for Christians doesnt mean all that register are Christians.

Food for thought?

I used to moderate a "Teen" Christian Chatroom, and I used to tell people they needed to remember it's called a teen room, because they could be privately with a minor, but not always and not even mostly, and it's called a Christian room, but not all are Christians, and as long as everyone followed the site rules I had no problems with anyone.
 
We are called to peace and unity in Spirit... THIS PLACE IS OFFENSIVE!
