I know I'm new around here and it always takes time to get to know people, especially over the internet, and I know that there are probably people of different denominations, different backgrounds, some who are Christian and some who may claim to be and aren't. But it's really hard to figure out who is who around here.

I see people insulting a church leader due to his comments about the kind of fellowship that goes on in here, I see people come here hurting and admitting they've strayed and they're accused of lying, then I see people starting threads that insult other members of this very forum, then I see someone say that another is close to taking the Lord's name in vain due to having Jesus name on their post yet what they say isn't representative of what Jesus would endorse...... and then end their post with "God bless you too by the way".


Jhn 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

It seems different people have different definitions of the kind of "love" Jesus was talking about here, but one thing is crystal clear to me in that verse and it's "all men". That means people in the world, people in the church, people in a church, some form of religion, no form of religion...... all.

You guys may understand each other and may in your heart love one another on whatever level your understanding of love is, but I can promise you it doesn't look that way to all people.


I've looked beyond the human error in misunderstanding one another and the natural human reactions to offenses on here because that's part of the way we are made and none of us are perfect and there is so much good here. I know that these forums can be used to do much for the good of the kingdom of God, I've seen it happen and I've experienced that. But when people take these kind of direct, intentional stabs at one another, I sure don't want what they have.

Funny how an outsider who doesn't know anyone, therefore has no friends on here so no favorites and doesn't have any sides to take, can see most people here doing the very things they dislike their brothers and sisters doing.
