Paradise Cafe Discussions - A Place For Bible Research And Christian Encouragement

Please forgive me for butting in again. This thought just came to me when I was reading the arguing thread.

I know I am not appreciated and not welcome here but I thought why do many claiming to be christians and exclude ones who are not like their own group? For instance, why do they feel they have the right to exclude me because my faith is not like theirs? Everything belongs to God. Christians should not be ostracizing people who are not like one of them. I have been using Jesus' golden rule in everything I do and I dont believe I have been hypocrite about my faith. I just dont understand this forum's tendency to gang attack when they dont like people. I have not personally attacked anyone. All I have been stating is my overall observation. I hope we can discuss this with civilized manners.

sincerely, hitomi

This seem like another powder keg waiting for you to light the fuse ... :focus:

Joyful you really must go back and read some of the things you have written or your other 2 family members ... cause the facts of your style of answering do not match your personal view of how you answer or treat people. :readthis:

May I suggest you go back and read some of the comments you have made to people and learn a lesson in tact before starting another thread that has the possibility of being another mess. :tomatoed:

Manirus :whistle:

Amen!

BTW Joyful, Do you have any scriptural insights, bible questions or encouraging words you can post instead of a discussion on how you say we have treated you?

Would you be so kind as to quote them here for us, please?

Thank you. I'm ready to be cooked if I deserve it. I know I am setting myself up to be gang attacked.;)

I believe we have a big problem in understanding and how we apply what we should already know. First thing first, yannis.

Joyful ...

Just do a search and you will find them ... and no one here wants to gang attack you nor does anyone want to continue this subject of how you think you were mistreated ... it has been beat to death. IMO Perhap you should try as Yannis suggested. :)

Manirus

Manirus, I don't recall what I did that you are accusing me of. We have a huge understanding of what is decent or loving. I think you should finish what you started. I appreciate it. We can discuss from there. Or unless you think what I say is not worth answering.

I don't know what Yannis is indicating either. We are supposed to live according to what the Bible is teaching in everything we do.

I also understand that we have a huge difference understanding what the legalisms is.

thank you.

The main reason why I am writing this is because RR was gang attacked and it reminded me of that prostitute who was gang attacked by the pharisees in the NT.

No one is perfect and RR is not either. But he did not deserved to be gang attacked by so many. I did not see much love of what many of you did to him.

Hi joyful

Re: "But he did not deserved to be gang attacked..."

"He", joyful, is a she.

Christian love,

Hello joyful ...

I wish that your coming back to us was under 'better' or more 'joyful' circumstances ...

I can understand your feelings of wanting to somehow 'protect' or be an 'advocate' for RR ... but would humbly suggest it is not perhaps the best to stir up 'contentions' needlessly when things were being already handled by those INVOLVED ...

If you read the thread you are referring to ... it was dealt ... and apologies were made ... suggestions given to correct the situation ...

Perhaps a Bible principle for you to think about is 'pleading your own case' ...

If RR wishes to pursue things ... he can ... if he chooses to accept or reject the apologies ... he can ... he has not been banned ... he is MORE THAN WELCOME to come back whenever he wishes ...

Sometimes this happens on discussion boards ... hurt feelings occur ... people feel bad and leave ... but for the most part it seems they come back after a time ...

And we can REJOICE to seeing them once again ...

I would ask you dear joyful to please drop this thread and let things stay 'settled' ...

Christian love to you ... BR :sheepy: :bouncyhearts:



It does no good to bring it up again ...

All in favor of closing this thread before we all find ourselves embroiled in another "joyful" moment ... say "Aye"

My vote is "Aye" :thumbup:

Manirus LOL

I am sorry I cannot please you, BR.

I don't believe it was a sincere apology. I cannot blame him for leaving. You say you are sorry but you have been doing this kind of stuff many times.

Jesus wants us to be compassionate for others and I felt for RR because I am one of very goofy ones..

You seems to be avoiding my point. You guys gang attack. He did not need so many criticizers. We should know how to be fair.

Ok, BR, I am done with this. I just had to express what I thought.

thanks for letting me say my peace.

aye :clap:

Aye.
