Sir, when during a discussion of any matter a participant fails to keep the focus upon the issues, and elects instead to mount an attack upon another participant solely because their expressed opinions differ from ones own, then objectively and hope of arriving at a definitive, scriptural-based, mutually agreed upon conclusion is cast aside. Do you not realize what you've done by attacking MTD's integrity?
The condition I've taken the liberty to note here most frequently occurs when one or more of the participants in a discussion is either not sufficiently knowledgeable about the beliefs expressed by others, and have chosen not to invest of their time to learn of them, or they believe that their beliefs are so superior to those of the other participants that nothing that is expressed is even worthy of their consideration as to its merits.
When we discover that our beliefs about a matter being considered in discussions differs from others, we must exercise caution to insure that we do not lose sight of the objective of the discussion, and allow ourselves to attack another participant solely because they believe differently than we do about a matter. Logic and objectively are discarded when ill-feeling and hostility are permitted to replace a humble spirit and an open mind during such discussions. Surely you're sufficiently intelligent to know this!
Only through an intelligent, humble, and focused attitude by every member of a discussion about a matter, can any participant in a discussion ever arrive at a satisfactory conclusion which allows for the truth to come to the fore.
May God help us to always maintain such honorable attitude towards others when we join in discussions of spiritual things.
Respectfully submitted.
So I guess I should not post anything, right?
