No because I don't know.
There are people on this board in serious need of correction for judging for self righteous reasons. And other powerful members of the board standing by them as if they did nothing wrong. It's that kind of stuff that makes Christians look really bad.

I will tell you, it was dave miller.
True. And they should be corrected. Dave is a good place to start, don't you agree?
No, usually the only people who back dave up are his pagan congregants. Sometimes he has flashes of brilliance, but usually, he can't figure out the difference between Law and Grace.
I agree, that's why I stand against him.

You're right. But like any thread, it has become a wee bit sidetracked.beanieboy said:

I believe that it becomes conveniently side tracked.
When questioned about whether one's actions are fitting with Christ's call to love your enemies, to turn the other cheek, etc., it is much easier to simply say, "Yeah? Well, the bible says homosexuality is wrong!!!"
At the vey least, I think one would contemplate that, hey, maybe there is some truth in what a fellow christian is calling me on. But most of it, from what I have observed is met with dodging, denial, or pointing the finger at the other.
So, do I leave here learning that Christians can dish it out but not take it? No. I leave from this situation learning that Christians are as human as anyone else, are resistant to correction as anyone else, and taken off the pedastal of expectation, I suppose. But even more so, I should be open to suggestion, but weigh it very carefully, for even the most well intentioned are often misled. I should face my imperfections, face them and not fear them, consider myself faulty, and because of that, able to own any fault that I have, able to work on any fault that I have, and to look at my fault, and through it, find compassion and forgiveness toward another.
From what little I've actually read of Dave Miller, I have no problem. He at least knows how to treat kids. But the main person I am thinking of is not Dave Miller.Nineveh said:
Well, standing against our brothers is good Christian behavior, isn't it? It's exactly the behavior I see from certain people on this board who follow men, not God.

Christ saved His sternest rebuke for the religious whited sepulchures. With that specific exception, I don't see Jesus engaging in alot of namecalling.
For those who were stuck in sin, he offered a compassionate "go, and sin no more". Of course, the case I'm thinking of, the person was ready to trust Him and repent.
If I thought for one second that calling someone an ugly name would help them to see their need for the savior, I wouldn't hesitate to name call. It is too easy to call names, and it scratches my fleshly itch to be mean. In the Spirit, I do not wish to be mean, but to be kind and gentle. Sadly, I feel that many who justify their namecalling do so out such a selfish orientation, rather than out of a desire of helping the lost.
Dear God,
help me not to play the hypocrite. Help me to sincerely love those for whom Christ died by taking up my cross daily.

You were all hot to judge for wrongly judging, now you aren't?
Be consistant.
Paul tells us after we have done all we can do, "stand". I've tried to correct him, but he doesn't want to hear what makes him feel uncomfortable.
Yet one more criteria you are willing to level at others, but I doubt you will hold dave to that standard either.

:bang: ...you're very confused. He said to beware of "the mutilation." Do you know what this refers to?Caille said:
He referred to those workers that perverted the gospel message as "dogs" and "evil workers."
Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. For me to write the same things to you is not tedious, but for you it is safe.
Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the mutilation! For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh, though I also might have confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he may have confidence in the flesh, I more so: circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee; concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
Who were the dogs? :juggle:
Were they people?
He was rather blunt and God allowed this letter to be placed in the Scriptures that millions have read. Millions have been confronted with the language that the apostle Paul used to describe those whom perverted the message of Jesus.
