God Conquers Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 I agree... "unfortunately it's history is not documented" unfortunately you smell of elderberries, liar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seatbelt Blue Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 Do you accuse this person of oral sex, "sucking?" If not, then please reconsider your statement in light of demonstrating the love of Christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God Conquers Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 I accuse this person of being less than proper, in the commonly accepted manner of the word, which, although may have its roots in accusations of oral copulation, now finds its meaning in acting poorly.

Seatbelt Blue Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 (edited) Well, you do not *know* this person is lying, friend. Therefore, both of your accusations are baseless. Why accuse one of a sin you can't substantiate? Why raise your nose at his lying when you yourself have likely lied in the past? This is something I find among Christians everywhere - an inability to live this basic Christian teaching in daily life. We assume the worst about people, and we criticize them for sins we ourselves have committed. This is especially heavy on my mind because I just came from Reconciliation. Have you sinned? Why then should you feel superior to this one, why should you criticize him for the same sins we all must deal with? Does your "you smell of elderberries, liar" exemplify Christian love, or is it said with a degree of malice or anger? Will your accusation impress upon this man to change? Does your rebuke have any effect if it is not heard by the target? I am challenging you to raise your standard, Brother Christian. I am challenging you to a higher degree of holiness.

God Conquers Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 So you're challenging me to not accuse others of sinning (which I didn't do) by telling me that I'm sinning. Way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seatbelt Blue Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 accuse others of sinning (which I didn't do) Is lying a sin? Did you call him a liar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God Conquers Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 forget it dude. Lighten up a bit here. I was trying to poke fun at the fact that there was somehow no "historical documentation" (coincidental). I wasn't trying to play God and judge his immortal soul. I appreciate the heads up about the word "smell of elderberries", but do not appreciate haughty diatribe on your part. Sorry if I offended you. End of debate, thanks.

Seatbelt Blue Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 I wasn't being argumentative. I wasn't trying to start a fight, and your sarcasm isn't appreciated. I'm trying to help; I'm trying to live a life of holiness and to help others do the same. Your post was most certainly not in that spirit; well intended in defense of the Church, but misguided in execution. I apologize if my post offended you, although I don't understand how it did such. ::sigh:: I'm starting to think I'm not welcome here. Every time I try to push, prod, or nudge someone past behaviors that will hold them back, I get mauled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't trying to be haughty, friend. I was just trying to help. And I will be the first to acknowledge my own hipocrisy; everything I said we shouldn't do, I do. I do them regularly. I lie, insult, accuse, and generally bumble and stumble my way along the Way of the Cross. I am a terrible Christian. But that fact of failure is exactly why I posted what I posted. We need to be held accountable. People need to call our mistakes. Edited December 6, 2003 by Seatbelt Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God Conquers Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 I agree, thank you for your concern. I certainly wasn't trying to "maul" you. And I didn't mean sarcasm (except in my original post). I tend to go on the defensive when my actions are questioned, partly my sinfulness, but also because, since I'm on a board, you really don't know me. If I was talking face to face it would be a different story. I think tone, and exectutionof phrases is difficult to ascertain online and so when something is typed, it's hard to know sometimes the intention behind the words. Anyways, no hard feelings, I accept that I'm a sinner. PS Everyone is welcome on this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
