Mocking those that don't practice the same "liberties" as you...

When I find something that I feel is across the line, no matter WHO posts it-- I will give an infraction for it. However I don't read every post in every thread. I just don't have time. People have to help us out here... we can't see it all.

I'm signing off now... have to work in church library today. Can't be late.

I have never used the triangle before, but I'll try to help the admins out in the future. In other words, I'll do my part to help this forum have less personal attacks.

It really IS possible! We don't always agree, but I do enjoy reading your opinions!

Maybe the problem is they are drinking too much.

According to Proverbs 20:1, "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is a brawler, and whoever is led astray by it is not wise." Wine and strong drink turn men into mockers and brawlers. Those who are under their influence scoff at what is holy, reject correction, ridicule the serious. Furthermore, they are "no longer masters of themselves or restrained by the laws of morality or decency" (The Pulpit Commentary,[1950; rpt Grand Rapids, MI: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., 1958] vol. 9, p. 883)

Wow this isn't turning into a mutual admiration society is it?

I understand that it goes both ways. Many times conservative Apostolics judge and condemn those who do not hold to the same standards or levels of conformation as they. Also, those who practice certain levels of liberty often mock and judge those on the other side of the spectrum. I find this disheartening.

Romans 14, 1 Corinthians 8:9, Galatians 5 all speak to the biblical principles of the laws of liberty. Is open mockery of things that men and women hold to as principles of godly living acceptable to God? I value the discussion here. It's why I signed up. I appreciate the open discussion and honest debate. When we digress into the mockery of things that people here hold dear, however, does it displease the God who has granted us liberty over tradition?

Forgot all about this old thread. It was enlightening, as I recall.

If you have a motive for bumping, please be clear and let me know. If not, thanks for bumping. I reread a few pages and am always inspired by those scriptures.
