Kindness is a good thing...
Posted : 11 Nov, 2012 01:11 PM

So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

Knowing it is one thing...putting it into practice is another.

May the Lord truly bless and keep you all!

The message brings a snare in what way? What is Christian freedom? Is it freedom to do as you please? You speak of this freedom, but I wonder what it means to you.

John 8:32

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.



Apart from the truth, there is no freedom.

I have agreed with some. Those I am like minded with. That is not you and your pupil, sorry......



We are not like minded you and I TBK. You see the differnece between you and I is this. You expect me to be like minded with you. I dont expect the same from you.



I give you the freedom to think and believe as you would. You fail to show equal respect to others who would dissagree with you.



Do what you got to do!!!!!!!!!!

Another place I see we differ is this, you are a man of your own destiny . I am a man of faith.

We are both free to live under God's word. That's it. I don't give myself freedom to think and act contrary to the Word of God. The Bible is my standard and measure. I fail to show you respect because you think and behave contrary to the Word. Find me a verse that says that I should "respect" anyone who does that.

"I have agreed with some. Those I am like minded with"

There is some merit in being around like minded people. We shouldn't be being taught by those who teach falsely. However, if all I ever did was listen to people who believed like me, I'd likely still not believe in the doctrines of grace today :(



I get that we are not like minded. However my post was about the importance of truth. You responded that you live in freedom. That response gives the implication that the believer is free and not bound by truth. The verse TBK gave highlights what is wrong with that view. It is the truth that frees, not binds.

I believe it is evident with my first post in this thread that I tried to promote a practical way of unity in moving forward on this board. It was rejected. My proposal for adherence to truth was rejected. That speaks volumes.
