I think "get along" is what I mean by being tolerant of each other - - not of the stuff you wrote above.

Tolerance and respect are ever reaching words and can be used two ways. That's the confusing part. You can't confuse - Ignore. It's just what it is.

I don't think we need to kill each other, but I don't want a baptist forum either. I am all for good heated discussion that show the posters as a Christian contending for his/her beliefs.

You are right. I've watched some of that and I understand not to step in between two men on debate. They do it way different.

And vice versa. The men can't step in between two women either.

This is a really good question! I'd like others to put in their two cents!

Rom 15:13 - Rom 15:14 (KJV)
13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
14 And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

Strong's
G3560 - Admonish
From the same as G3559; to put in mind, that is, (by implication) to caution or reprove gently:—admonish, warn.

Here is where we get off base, when we try to admonish one another not in love, gently, but with furious harshness.......

Exactly because we haven't killed the flesh completely - we want to be right!

If I'm right in and of myself, I'm just a pile of stinking rags, but ahhhh, to have His righteousness.............

That's good! It does seem hard not to allow our passion to over take us on some subjects. I think it will happen, but then the poster can back up and say, Hey, I'm sorry. Let me re-word that so I'll look like a sissy. J/K!!!!!!

I believe I read that the rag in that passage represented a menstrual cloth.

Respecting becomes fake when it's patronizing.
