There are 54 "one anothers" in the New Testament that teach us how to treat each other, meaning those of us who belong to the body of Christ.

I just assumed from your first post that your post was not provocative, but was misunderstood as being provocative.
People here have become so accustom to simple questions leading into a trap of some sorts, that they have become very gun shy, perceiving an attack or an offense often where none was meant.
My point is that because of the lack of civility that has raged in this forum for so long, we must go beyond merely being unprovocative and we must declare our sincerity.
It is not right that we should have to do so, but until we can build up a sense of trust between Christians in this forum once more, it is what we must do. Kindness is contagious.
Thanks for explaining yourself again. I understand what you’re saying and you make some good points.

So it is. :)
LOL! It's a special club we're in, isn't it? ROFLOL
Kindness is one of the twelve fruits of the Holy Spirit. :)
Contentiousness is not.
When one is questioning another's beliefs, I believe one must avoid (accidentally or deliberately) sneaking a hidden premise into the question.
For example, I understand that most Protestants, Evangelicals, etc. hold to a belief that is often called "sola scriptura". Let us suppose that I'd like to learn more about where that comes from, and I ask:
"Why do you folks worship a book by claiming that the Bible is the sole rule of faith?"
If I posed the question that way, I'd have sneaked in an accusation of "bibliolatry" ... and any Protestant who found it offensive would be quite justified in doing so. My example is a bit contrived, but it's not hard to do that sort of thing accidentally ... and the other guy won't know it's an accident.

I guess it is. :)
I keep telling them that. I suspect they’ll have to learn the hard way, just like I did.
It’s my fault if I engage in it, just as it’s my fault if I wind up in a p*ssing match with a FReeper :-).
Yes, quite right.
I see. I wrote several paragraphs on the Molasses Miasma of Niceness on some iteration of the Undead Thread, but it’s long gone in the bowels of FR.
Wow, twelve fruits of the Spirit! We only have nine. Does this mean that the Holy Spirit favors Catholics over Protestants. ; )
Contrary to how it may appear sometimes, Contentiousness is not one of ours either. : )
I’m sure you’re right on both counts! LOL.
We have to pick our battles . . . but a parent’s training seems never done.
An excellent point! Thanks.
Niceness Nodules is too good a concept to be buried somewhere. Your wit needs to be immortalized front and center. If I have a mind too, I may copy your entire post and put it on my front page.
Besides, your Freep page is filled with kids...adorable kids.
;-o)
Some day, I may have a mind too!
With levitating children and a son who likes the Manchurian Candidate (and is devouring the book I sent him on hypnosis), it is a full time job!
;-o)
*************
LOL! No doubt. :)
The Nodules are a fairly new invention, just in the last couple of months.
The Molasses Miasma has been around since the original Undead Thread in (I think) 2003.
Twelve is the Biblical number of completion. :-)
