Thanks for writing what you did and starting this post OA. Disagreement and debate is fine but it would be nice to see a little more civility, love, and respect here on AFF. Being rude is a discussion killer with me. Not being face to face is a disadvantage to us all and, at times, instead of someone legitmate we may be crossing swords with a 15 year old kid. When one is respected at home by family and friends and then disrespected by a stranger it's hard to stay around.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. One of the things I apprecaite about this forum is its diversity. I'm glad we don't have to sign an affirmation statement at the door, agreeing to be somebody's "yes man". This would be one boring and deserted place if we werea group of mindless robots, agreeing with everything someone tells us to agree with. I can hold my on veiws here. I can state my own opinions here. And so can everyone else. Including those who I refer to GIANTS- those who think they have the right to post their veiws because THEY ARE RIGHT. And other posts are ignored and ridiculed because, according to the GIANTS, those posters are just plain wrong, dumb or as lost as two.... well, you get my drift.

I disagree with some here. Probably many. But that doen't make them lost as... you know. And that doesn't make me more any more Apostolic than the next guy. In short, I don't think Christianity should be checked at the door when I enter a Christian forum. I'm not here to watch a boxing match. I'm here to see brotherlings and sisterlings have fellowship, share God's Word, and be a blessing to one another. Usually I ignore the Bombshells, the bashings, the debates and the fussing. Thats easy to do, as long as there is a balance. It just seems here lately, the balance is leaning toward infighting, biting and devouring. Like my good friend Renda said, its just not any fun around here anymore.

The Bble speaks to us about holy conversations. About speaking the truth in love. Words seasoned with grace. Edifying. Building up. Kindness. Longsuffering. I know. That stuff sounds so... so... so Christian.

Well, enough said. Here. I'll stand still. Now, go ahead and throw....

Well said, OA, well said, I appreicate your post and attitude.

Hello my blue lettered friend. I trust all is well in your nest in the mountains. May God bless you and Sis. Ravenette!

to change the subject a little- Do you think there were really giants, or was that an exageration, just as they were not really grass hoppers?

Well, I don't know. But I can remember years ago in school picking a fight with a boy that was sitting down. Looked like a grasshopper... til he stood up. Note to self: Don't pick on grasshoppers while they are sitting down. He stood up and was a giant. It was I who was the grasshopper. A grasshopper, I might add, that could not jump away fast enough. Good news: I have no tar left in me. It was all beaten out of me the day when that grasshopper became a GIANT!
