I pm'd 2 people back and explained what I was talking about and that I didn't say what they were accusing me of, and they would not respond to me.

I then pm'd the person they thought I was being "mean" to , and she messaged me back and was OK with everything.

I don't want to hurt or offend.

I love the Lord and people.

I didn't mean here or on purpose being rude to someone either.
It's hard to tell sometimes if we are.
And it's much easier to see when someone else has.

Talk about rude, everybody went to bed before I could be rude or offend someone.

I think it's easy sometimes to think someone is rude on a forum, because as stated so many times, we cannot see them or hear their tone of voice.

I just want to learn to take things good, and think, "Oh they didn't mean anything by that". (I would like to use that more in real life, since I don't post much here.)
I find as I get older I am taking that "road" in believing that someone really didn't mean any harm by what they said.

I have only seen a nice and kind Cindy.

I agree completely.

When I first started posting here I was so shocked at the seeming rudeness here. And I was probably rude sometimes, though I hope not. But I never won't to offend a brother or sister.

Thank you.

I do like to have fun here though, and it helps keep my mind off some of the debating.

if I have been rude please forgive me...it is never my intention...and I know sometimes talking in person is so much easier than on a forum...facial expressions help!

Sis Alvear, you are the last person I would consider rude on this forum & while I do not know you outside of this forum, I really think you have enough Jesus in you that you couldn't even be rude by accident!

And that is exactly why standards are a forbidden, or tightly controled topics, on most boards. People tend to think they're right and can't see that it can be done another way.

Your preacher might preach against something because of something that's happened in your city/town. That doesn't mean others are going to H because they don't follow the same teaching.

I was like that in the beginning, so I can kind of understand it. Not the attacking, but the thinking that if you don't do it the way WE do it, you're wrong. When people are fairly new, and haven't been exposed to many other thoughts on the same subject, you tend to think it's a heaven/H issue, whatever the subject is.

I have learned by being an admin and a mod in these boards, that the best you can say to folks is, "Just obey your pastor and you are doing well in the eyes of Jesus."

If you have strong convictions, follow them but you can't force them on other people.

I guess what opened my eyes, a girl was being attacked for what her pastor taught, and it finally hit me right between the eyes. She is obeying her pastor and shouldn't be attacked for that. Then it's between her, her pastor and God and we have no right making judgements about it.... PERIOD.

God bless y'all and don't fight, be happy! *Grin*

I appreciate you for taking a stand.

And they don't have to know. The Lord that hears in secret will reward openly.
