================================================I am saddened by this. Instead of focussing on God's Word, there is arguing and tearing down. If we truly are the body of Christ, we need to start acting like it. Please stop the finger pointing. "You did this." "No, I didn't." or "You meant this." "No, I didn't."
Let's focus on God's Word! Let's edify each other like
Bill has commited himself to do. If what you say does
not build up, don't say it. If you disagree with
someone tell them with love not with sarcasm.
Susan, has it occured to you that what one considers sarcasm may be viewed by another as righteous anger. We are to edify other believers. We are to avoid broods of vipers. Sometimes it is hard to tell the difference, so on this forum, the tendency is to accept people for what they claim to be and Let God sort it out.
That never worked for John the Baptist, and I find that it does not always work for me. I suspect that you would have a problem with both of us, but Jesus thought highly of John, so you might want to think a little longer on this.
