For instance:
I Tim. 2:9-10 "In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works."
Some read this passage as no wearing of jewelry and others as moderation - I think we should respect each person's view and stop badgering them, calling them a cult, putting out heresy, etc. It just doesn't make for the type of conversation that we all so desire.
When we go there - it's trashing and belittling other's beliefs. Bad form, IMO. |
And what you say has merit. That is why we have the report button for when someone does in fact cross the line.
And both sides have been guilty. No question on that either.
Emotions sometimes runs rampart. But for the most part I don't think this board is out to slam the ultrcon. I hate they feel they have been ganged upon, but I think the feeling is that way because so many of them have left. Who is going to stay and defend their beliefs if they all run away?
Any issue should be able to be discussed without insult to either side, and especially from Christians.
