I was telling of the new mod's stated position about "devotional" threads.
That would provide SOME relief from the constant bickering on normal threads. I don't think you'll get away from that. Just my opinion, of course, but I think denominationalism and a host of personal issues further the bickering.
I think if personal psychology stuff--usually pride, turf issues, control issues--were not a factor, the denominational issues could take their proper lesser place with graciousness and brotherly love.
I think it CAN be done. Else Holy Spirit and Christ's example are too week for FR's brand of sins? I don't think so. But we must be willing to doggedly put Christ and His values and priorities first above our biases and ego driven junk. I'm not overly optimistic--unless we could have another category of more or less protected GRACIOUS DISCOURSE type threads.
There's something in the heart of man that 'glories' in:
"--There--take that--you ignorant unlearned serf. About time you recognized the truly truest true truth from MY hand and keyboard! Harumph."
We each have to recognize such stuff from the pit and reject, renounce it and choose Christ's Love and graciousness over it--persistently, doggedly--OVERCOMINGLY.
imho.
