In response to the 'State of discourse' thread that was posted yesterday: Can't we all just get along?

I've been asked to chime in, so I'm chiming. But you're not gonna like it. The state of discourse on FR is totally up to you. You know the guidelines and rules. I don't need to repeat them again and again and again. We are mostly adults here and mostly Christian conservatives. We all know how to behave in a mixed public setting. We don't need and don't want to be supervised.

Before you post that next profane post or personal attack just ask yourself, what would Jesus do.

Can't we all just get along?

Thank you all very much and God bless you.

I wonder why they even bothered to go to church.

That’s because we know what we’re thinking when we typed them. It’s a matter of remembering that other people don’t.

Oh. I loathe Mitt Romney and I’m a Christian who doesn’t get caught up in the Mormon arguments on FR. Are they still even going on?

I am thankful that Jesus came to save us. Nonetheless, I have given my thoughts on devout vs non devout Christians. I am interested in your views. Care to share?

Except for the zeepers. There are no bag limits on them and even night hunting with dogs and bait, agreed? :)

I donno...

Ash was pretty interesting era to live through.

humm. ok. i make no such ‘interpretation,’ said nothing of the sort, and intended nothing of the sort either. and putting words or ‘interpretations’ in the mouths of others strikes me more as a communication problem on your part, FRiend.

and, frankly, i don’t think even the original poster i commented to was making the point that you say he was making, but he can speak for himself.

that being said, the good thing from the scriptures you cite, is that i think we agree on the meaning of Jesus’ Word when he said ‘pick up you cross and follow Me.’

that means (to me) that when you decide to ‘be like Jesus’ which all true Christians will and must do, you will be figuratively or even literally ‘crucified’ by the enemy or the prince of this world (imho that was the original posters point, with maybe a little tongue in cheek :)).

anyway, the serious comment i tried to make was that if you’re a believer, the devil is going to come after you, so you’d better be ready and accept that you’re going to have to suffer persecution from the world if you choose to follow Him. ‘...the servant is not greater than his master.’

now you won’t necessarily have to die for Him, but the cost will be high, and life will not be easy for you, and you will at least have to suffer the killing off the old you at a minimum. now i gladly carry whatever cross i’m commanded to by Him. and of course, when you choose to follow Him, you’d better have made up your mind to ‘give the last full measure of devotion’ if required.

may God bless you and all of FR, and have the last word if you want.

Yep. Not here as much anymore because of it. Also because its not worth it when most people aren’t going to get what you post and they just get triggered.

Right back to the personal insults.

On a thread from the Founder that asks NOT to post personal insults.

Barely.

It’s hard to disagree with what your own organization has published.

I merely keep the mostly unseen, untaught and undesirable information flowing.
