I haven't neg repped in years.
People's activity has changed.
Most members are accepted by the forums and they will not get neg reps. And you are one of them. They are the majority.
There are some minority and some are getting neg reps on a daily bases.
I don't know if I am still getting them because I don't want to see neg reps so I put all of them on ignore. But I can assure you if release them, my userCP will be full of red marks.
I know, you are one of those who never neg reps. And I respect you highly because of it.
Neg repping is such childish and unchristian behavior.
In your case? Never. You live for it. They comply. You should send out thank you cards.
good day, Rusha.
Well, Jesus is pretty popular, so I'm not sure you got the right lesson out of that.
Seriously, the most abused bit of scripture ever. If everyone who loves Christ marched through that gate, compared to the larger part of humanity, it would be a pretty narrow gate. But no, that's not narrow enough for some. They have to restrict it to those who pass their litmus and meet their judgment, won't be comfortable to that narrowness perfectly matches the dimensions of their minds.
Well, nuts to that. I say, love'em all and let God sort it out, to borrow from De Montfort, after a fashion.
True Jesus is not popular. What we see in the world is not true Christianity.
True Christianity is not accepted by the world, that includes popular churches.
They spread perverted gospel to gain popularity and it has been working ever since Christianity started.
True Christianity don't approve of killing their enemy which most churches do.
Jesus says to love your enemy. Killing your enemy is not of Jesus.
Hello Milkshake!
It is a wonderful thing, and if you are very good this time, you may have a nice treat.
Oh, I am not mocking you by calling you Milkshake, I am tired of names I cannot remember and spell:chuckle:
Sorry getting your approval is not my goal.
BTW, are you still claiming to be saved Christian with this kind of attitude?
You are good enough to be saved even though you are showing attitude and behavior of bully teenagers.
what a concept.
Are you?
No, you mean your version, your narrowing so that you can exclude and judge. But the Jesus I read about was wildly popular, except with the powers that be. How many came to hear him speak before the miracle of loaves and fishes? He had so many wanting to see him and hear him that he had to escape them on occasion.
Sorry, but I don't think that job is yours. I'm pretty sure it belongs to Christ. The good news is that you do have a job, to love God first and your neighbor as yourself and to spread the good news.
I'm sure everyone gets something a bit wonky. That's the nature of imperfect beings approaching the perfect. If it weren't we wouldn't need grace or the cross. But instead of pointing out the next fellow's imperfection in approach I think it might be more productive to set the right example in love and wait and see if those who watch the impact of that in our lives respond to it...they might even find our examples helpful, might eventually ask, "How do you..."
I don't see any love in that at all. It sounds hard and superior. But if that's the standard you want for yourself I guess it's up to you.
We aren't to commit murder. The Bible doesn't say thou shalt not kill though. Which is why capital punishment as a penalty for those murders wasn't an exercise in hypocrisy.
I don't believe for a second that you would let some crazy person kill a classroom of children if you saw a gun on the ground as he rushed toward them with a sword in hand.
He does. To pray for those who persecute you even. And we should. He doesn't say we should let crazy people slaughter others while we watch...in fact, I can't think of anything less Holy than that.
No, I think David is a good illustration of what we'd be expected to do.
Killing someone seeking to murder absolutely is, unless your version of Jesus delights in allowing iniquity, which wouldn't make much sense.
The neg system is encouraging to getting trolls not to make idiotic statements
