In what way do you think I have not?

I may be reading you wrong, but I have sensed a very arrogant and condescending attitude from you.

Maybe it's just the forum we are using and maybe you are a really nice humble guy, but from your posts, I honestly (and I mean HONESTLY) don't see the fruits of the Spirit in your postings here. I view your attitude as one of moral superiority and condescension to those with whom you do not agree.

You asked. I answered.

If my assessment of you is wrong, then I apologize. If so, prove me wrong. Show me your humble side.

Love – would it be loving to watch error and say nothing? Or is your version of love the kind that liberals have in that one shouldn’t say anything?

Joy – My joy is in the Lord. How do you think one should exhibit joy in a forum like this?

Kindness – Would it be kinder to just stay quiet when people post beliefs that contradict what scripture teaches? How about when Mormons post? Should we just be kind and let them draw people to their beliefs or would it be kinder to show the truth of scripture?

Forbearance – Patience is staying and discussing issues here. If there were no patience one would just leave people to believe whatever even if it led to damnation by God.

Kindness – Once again, would you say kindness is saying nothing when you see teaching that you believe is contrary to scripture? And how is posting scripture to correct someone unkind?

Goodness – Would it be showing more goodness to ignore the error of teaching?

Faithfulness – Faithfulness in staying here even though it seems futile to discuss with people who have their mind made up even though contrary to what scripture says? Unfaithful would be to just do other things even though you feel the Spirit is telling me to stay for those who are reading these threads who need to see both sides.

Gentleness – I don’t confuse gentleness with capitulation. Jesus was never gentle with error in teaching.

Self Control – It takes self control to not say some things I would like to here.

>>Show me your humble side.<<

Its God’s message not mine. That’s why I post scripture more often then not when responding to a post. I boldly proclaim the message of God.
