Thats not how we are to live.
Assuming you are a Christian...You might find a few pastors that disagree.
Christians should help each other, thats what congregations do, thats what bible studies do, thats what Christian friends do, that what God called us to do.
We are not talking about judging someones salvation, we (I) am talking about helping fellow Christians live as Godly people. I'm not sure how you could disagree with that (if youre a Christian).
ok, I found the thread:
post #395 is certainly tongue in cheek while at the same time poking fun at himself with humor
# 439 he states he's not boasting but even aknowledging what someone says
# 503 ?? not sure that relates
now going back to your original line:
Too many of the self-identified Christians I see on these threads are dishonest, use epithets in describing those with different views, and, most shocking to me, one even boasted about shaking the faith of someone else.
I'm afrid I continue to disagree with how you state the situation.
Take care.
Your outlook re Elsie's post 395 disturbs me.
Would you also post "tongue in cheek" that you had caused someone to lose their faith?
Especially if the person referenced has said that he had lost his faith as a result of your actions (at least partially)?
It doesn't square with the rest of your post expressing warm concern for mine. Which, by the way I appreciate.
