2 | thank you ... encourager | Eph 6:12 | khuck | 105275 | ||
To Joel and all of us a reminder: Your battles belong to the Lord as do you:) We think even on this forum that we struggle and fight sometimes with one another. Does anyone here believe that God wants us to bicker and fight over the His Word and hurt and offend each other. I can only think of one who desires this. Do you know why I sometimes come off as unbelieveably humble or forgiving? Because when I see strife entering into our threads... I know where it originates. We are the children of God and we have but one Enemy. When we fight God is not pleased, only satan is happy. (Hell is ecstatic). We only think we are struggling against Khuck, Tim, Searcher, EdB, Kalos, Aixen... that is what the enemy wants us to believe... but we have to try to remember what Paul said... Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. And in this I seek to find a way to always make peace with my siblings in The Lord... and then... AIN'T NOBODY MAD... Except the devil. If I hold my peace and let the Lord fight my battles, I know that the victory will be mine. If trying hard to walk upright, all my battles He will fight... I know that the victory will be mine. Put on your armor and Stand, once fully armed you will stand... because you will stand on a Rock. In Love to the Children of the Most High God, -Kathy |

3 | thank you ... encourager | Eph 6:12 | Hank | 105294 | ||
Dear Kathy - May I please gently but firmly remind you and others who have veered off the path, that this Forum is NOT a venue for interminable personal defenses and apologies nor is it a proper medium for personal chatter among ourselves. Use private e-mail if you wish to engage in these kinds of things, but not the Forum. This is a Forum dedicated to Bible questions and Bible answers -- AND NOTHING ELSE! As Tim Moran has said, let's be done with this ridiculous circus atmosphere. (It is wasting everyone's time.) And let's get back to the stated purpose of this Forum: Bible questions, Bible answers. And leave personal chatter out of it. That includes personal opinion of Scripture and personal opinion, favorable or unfavorable, of other Forum users. No one really cares much for our personal opinions anyway, so why not just keep them to ourselves? ........ If one sticks with proper exegesis of Scripture, the need for repeated "I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings" will no longer exist. I post this not to dampen the enthusiasm of anyone but to remind all of us that we stray from the central purpose of being here: to study God's word. We all of us tend to stray now and then and need to be reminded of why we're here; thus, this is not meant as a personal message to you alone by any means. ..... Let us proceed on that path on which the Forum has been designed to travel. Let us exalt God and His Christ, and humbly study His word together, as we beg Him for grace to put aside our personal interests, feelings, and opinions. It is, after all, our ego, our vanity, which troubles us and darkens our way, isn't it? --Hank | ||||||
4 | thank you ... encourager | Eph 6:12 | khuck | 105333 | ||
Yes Hank I will accept your admonishment, even as I scroll through the personal chit chat posted here just tonight. When I came to this forum, as I read the Faq and "About the forum" I was struck that it said that this forum was: ...A synergetic resource built to enhance and deepen your study of God's Word. ...it's an opportunity to freely share your knowledge. ...gives the layman and scholar an opportunity to share truth and contribute wisdom. The post that you are admonishing me for writing to JoelK was an opportunity that I took to impart truth and contribute wisdom to an ugly situation. But since I misinterpeted the rules and you are just explaining after all of this time that: This is a Forum dedicated to Bible questions and Bible answers -- AND NOTHING ELSE! I will admit that most of my post are out of line and I am in the wrong place and I'll take this opportunity exit to quietly, leaving you 4 and no more. I will not slam the door and make any further noise shhhhh people are studying. This has been one real experience. Though it is inappropriate this is my last post so no need to respond. Always yours in Christ, Kathy Huck |
