Subject: General Admonition (dealing with Casiv) |
Bible Note: Response to Criticism .......................... Dear Forumites, I would like to first thank Tim Moran for his willingness to earnestly search his heart and listen to the Holy Spirit's conviction. I also appreciate the support of EdB and completely agree with his position that we should be tolerant of people themselves, while not being tolerant of false doctrine. Secondly, I would like to respond to some criticisms brought forward by Hank and seconded by Kalos. It seems to me that I have offended you by admonishing the elder statesmen, so to speak, of the forum. I want to first say that I have great respect for many of these "dedicated and intelligent members of this forum". It is actually because of the high regard that I have for all of those who I mentioned in my post, that I expect Christ-like behavior from them. The statement was also made that, "Every reasonable effort has been made to deal with this user", as if this was a defense for the responses that were given. I would say that when reasonable efforts have been exhausted, that the proper action is not be become unreasonable, but rather to cease striving. If a user is completely unable to be dealt with using scripture, logic, experience, etc, then do not stoop to name calling and insults. Instead, shake the dust off your feet and stop responding to that thread. Finally, it was mentioned that the responses were not personally attacking Casiv at all. Let me quote once more from one member, "Each and every one of your postings shows your ignorance, arrogance and abrasiveness." This is not saying that the content of Casiv's posts are ignorant or arrogant or abrasive, which they sometimes are. It is saying that Casiv, himself, is those things. That is exactly the type of thing, which I believe we as Christians ought not do. In the end, it is the Holy Spirit's job to bring conviction to our hearts. I am a bit surprised how few people have responded in any way to this thread, considering how many people were involved in all of this. |
