Azriel Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Again, I say ... Preach it sister. Mrs. has said nothing about turning our backs on charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Bro. Adam Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Thank you. What I said is, and not so much these words, but charity is more than telling someone that they're wrong. It's doing it with love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironmonk Posted February 8, 2005 Author Share Posted February 8, 2005 Michael Moore tatics, I expected more from you dust. 1) I haven't been on your board for 5 years 2) You must have not read everything I've written in the thousands of posts. I have written sorry, and have changed my point of view on things when shown how/where I was wrong in my understanding of Church teachings. 3) I'm not going to write that I'm wrong unless it's true. Not once I have given any inclination to what you imply. In fact, others here disagree with you, and have attested to that on the board. The Churches teachings in faith and morals are perfect. One must be proven wrong to be wrong. I am not wrong on what I posted here - someone simply crying 'your wrong' is the first sign of knowing that they are wrong. [b]The Way[/b] [i]1 Don't let your life be barren. Be useful. Make yourself felt. Shine forth with the torch of your faith and your love. With your apostolic life, wipe out the trail of filth and slime left by the corrupt sowers of hatred. And set aflame all the ways of the earth with the fire of Christ that you bear in your heart. 3 Maturity. Stop acting the child; drop that affectation that only suits a silly girl. Let your outward conduct reflect the peace and order of your soul. 17 Don't succumb to that disease of character whose symptoms are inconstancy in everything, thoughtlessness in action and speech scatter-brained ideas: superficiality, in short. Mark this well: unless you react in time — not tomorrow: now! — that superficiality which each day leads you to form those empty plans (plans 'so full of emptiness') will make of your life a dead and useless puppet. 34 Don't be afraid of the truth, even though the truth may mean your death. 43 Don't be so touchy. The least thing offends you. it's necessary to weigh one's words well before speaking to you even on the most trivial matter. Don't be annoyed if I tell you that you are... unbearable. Unless you change, you will never be of any use. 46 Don't you think that equality, as some people understand it, is synonymous with injustice? 54 'One must compromise' I Compromise is a word found only in the vocabulary of those who have no will to fight — the lazy, the cunning, the cowardly — for they consider themselves defeated before they start. 332 There is no excuse for those who could be scholars and are not. 340 Study. Study in earnest. If you are to be salt and light, you need knowledge, ability. Or do you imagine that an idle and lazy life will entitle you to receive infused knowledge? 472 Serve your God unwaveringly, be faithful to him, and worry about nothing else. For it is indeed true that 'if you set your hearts on the kingdom of God and on his righteousness, he will give you all these other things — material necessities, the means — as well'. 484 Be an instrument of gold or steel, or iron or platinum,... big or small, rough or delicate. All are useful; each one serves its own purpose. As in material things: would anyone dare assert that the carpenter's saw is less useful than the surgeon's scapel? Your duty is to be an instrument. 836 To serve as a loud-speaker for the enemy is the height of idiocy; and if the enemy is God's enemy, it is a great sin. That is why, in the professional field, I never praise the knowledge of those who use it as rostrum from which to attack the Church. 849 Laugh at him! Tell him he is behind the times: it's incredible that some people still want to regard the stage— coach as a good means of transport. This is how I feel about those who persist in unearthing musty and periwigged 'Voltairianisms' or discredited liberalisms of the nineteenth century.[/i] God Bless.

ironmonk Posted February 8, 2005 Author Share Posted February 8, 2005 [quote name='Mrs. Bro. Adam' date='Feb 8 2005, 02:10 PM'] Preach dropping it and turn our backs on charity? I don't think that is good advice. God Bless, ironmonk [/QUOTE] Give it up Ironmonk...There's nothing for me to drop. I'm not the one complaining about being suspended and people not being suspended. If you ask my opinion, from just reading this thread before I started posting, I'd say it has a lot to do with hurt pride. Nothing more, nothing less. Face it, you're not used to having to dealing with the consequences of your actions in all the time you've been on this board. You have said some very harsh things, and they had nothing to do with charity. You preach charity, why don't you try practicing it. It's more than your definition. It's also baring in mind that how you say things is as important as what you say. You can correct someone and be uncharitable at the same time. Correcting and charity do not go hand in hand. Correcting is not charity, and charity is not correcting. They're seperate. Try choosing your words more wisely. Would you say half of what you've said to others if you were talking to Jesus? I highly doubt it. Remember...when you talk to us, you are talking to Jesus. Either face the facts, or don't. But remember that there's more to life than being right. [/quote] It appears either I miscommunicated somewhere on this post, or you misunderstood. 1) The issue is being warned/suspended over speaking the truth. The threads in question where inappropriate as the majority of the Church Militant/Scholars/Faithful agreed. 2) Another part of the issue is that the posts remained intact. If you want it dropped, then don't reply. You are the one saying to drop it, your defensiveness speaks volumes. God Bless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilroy the Ninja Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 [quote name='Mrs. Bro. Adam' date='Feb 8 2005, 12:43 PM'] So much for ironmonk being 'done' [/quote] Stop the baiting here please. I'd close this, but dUSt has specifically asked it stay open. You all just need to walk away and leave it alone. Go say the rosary. Go do the dishes. (I'm going to). Go take a walk. Go to adoration. Go to mass. Just, all of us, let us go away from this. It is unproductive and singularly un-Christian to continue to argue, bait and gawk at the spectical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Bro. Adam Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Face it, ironmonk. To speak truth does not mean you're speaking in charity. I can speak in truth and yet be a real jerk about it. You didn't speak in charity when you spoke truth. It wasn't your 'speaking truth' that got you warned and suspended, it's the words that you used. I can speak in tongues, but if I have not charity, I am nothing. And I'm still convinced you're not 'done' as you wanted us to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomeTeamFamily Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 i dont mean to butt in here, but ironmonk, while i respect your years of theological study and the apologetic work you do, why is it that, if you intended on leaving this board for good, did you create a thread that basically got one last jab in before you left? seems a bit self righteous to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
