He That Soweth Discord...
Posted : 30 Apr, 2011 03:30 PM

These six [things] doth the LORD hate: yea, seven [are] an abomination unto him:

A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness [that] speaketh lies, and HE THAT SOWETH DISCORD AMONG BRETHREN.

I know that this forum can become a roughhouse at times when we are defending our beliefs or discussing certain thoughts or questions, but NEVER should it become a point of contention among us. I can see why this is an abomination to the Lord. As Christians, we are His body. One body in Christ. You start browbeating a person in here, you are beating the body of Christ. He was already beaten for our sinful, selfish selves. Why do you want to continue beating His body by beating down others in here? So what if you don't agree with someones view. A lot of us don't. If you can't discuss it rationally, if you can't discuss it without sowing discord or without resorting to personal attacks, if you can't discuss it humbly and with respect toward your brothers and sisters in Christ, regardless your view, you have no business discussing it at all.

Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: [and] he that shutteth his lips [is esteemed] a man of understanding. - Proverbs 17:28

I agree with SavedInChrist, no harm to anyone. I'm tired of the fighting. It is sad that Twosparrows left, and while I don't agree with everything he says all the time, I am rather upset he left.

And I'm upset to see everyone fighting so much, you all have such interesting things to say.

To put it bluntly,

Can't we all just get along?

GREAT Post, saved. People can learn a lot by just "Being Still" for a time. When Two gets back, he'll be prayed up, fasted up, and studied up. I'm looking forward to some Great discussions. I've learned a lot from him (God has used him to teach many of us). All we gotta do is be quiet once in awhile and listen.

I agree with y'all. I'm so sick of the fighting.

And just as we were having a REAL DISCUSSION that didn't include Calvin... I was looking forward to involving myself. I have a few thoughts on the subject, so I'll be ready when Two comes back! Haha!

My dear friends I had to go back and find the post you were talking about. i have been busy studing for exams and am sorry that I was unable to back up two. As I agree with his view point. I was taught that way from the time I got saved in 1986. I wish to say if I have offended any of you I am sorry. Your brother in Christ, Dennis

No, Dennis, you haven't offended at all. Please don't be apologetic, you were busy with studies. Two should come back, and things should get more normal around here.

Dennis, you haven't offended anybody! Have I told ya lately that I Love You? -------- Are you sure you read the right thread? All the discord started in Strange Stuff. It's probably on page 3 by now. I dont think you even replied on that thread.

Oh MsMarvel...have I taught you nothing? Have you gleaned NOTHING from me? I am soooooo disappointed! This is the perfect opportunity to INSIST that as penitence for his error, Dennis should have to carve a helmet out of a watermelon, wear it, and post the picture here!

You shaved? AND got contact lenses? Sure doesn't look like you. Besides, if you examine the picture carefully, it appears to be a gigantic lime on your head (note the texture). I specifically requested a watermelon!
