In response to the 'State of discourse' thread that was posted yesterday: Can't we all just get along?
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4243106/posts ^

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.

hough I don’t believe in Jesus as anything but an extremely distant cousin of mine...

So, what would your extremely distant cousin do? :-)

Afternoon. I’m pleasant to the point of tedious blandness. Care for a kitten picture? Talk about the weather?

Jesus did not come as a uniter. He came as a divider.

He will separate the sheep from the goats...

Whatever else is going on with FR, I'm just glad to see you post.

Jesus said "turn the other cheek", He did not say we are to be doormats to repeated offenses.

Forgive does not mean forget. It also does not mean that we must allow those who offend us to continue doing so. We are to rebuke them with the intent to correct them and help them get back on the right path.

If they keep refusing to do what's right, we are instructed to stop casting pearls before swine.

I stopped engaging the enemy long ago. I can forgive them, it doesn't mean I forget, nor does it mean I allow them to continue offending/harming me and those I love.

As my brother from another mother Laz will attest, I've said many times we are in spiritual warfare. Evil no longer hides itself. It's right out in the open, for all to see.

Do not normalize it, do not go along with it, do not pretend it'll go away and do not ignore it.

Rebuke it. As strongly and loudly as we can. All of us. Do not let evil go unnamed, unnoticed, unrebuked.

We are to be spiritual warriors for our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ, the Son of our LIVING GOD, our Father in Heaven.

I no longer care who I "offend" because they're either willfully ignorant or flat-out evil.

I am a happy warrior. A happy SPIRITUAL WARRIOR who calls out evil for what it is.

We who believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior should ALL do so!

Best to you!

Can't say it better. 👍

We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.

I would like for us to take on more activism. When I originally joined, we didn’t just vent on keyboards, we did things.

I’ve seen some of my best friends who have been here 20, 25 years being accused of being paid Russian trolls. Guess I’m going to have to have another look at their check stubs.


😂

God bless JimRob and FR!!

Good rules, Jim.

Let me also take the opportunity to say that with this forum and other things you have sponsored that you, along with the USMC do not have to worry about whether you have made a difference in the world.

Not grass roots. Organized. They really don’t care about being nice. Disruption is the game.

Exactly.

Nice, concise synopsis.

Jesus might say something like

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.

28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

Or

O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

Or something else.

Jesus didn’t hold back from what would be considered insults.

When it fit.

It was obviously not his main mode of discourse.

We’ll have our disagreements in this forum, sometimes very strong and heated ones, but I do believe many of us here are common-sense thinking people unlike our adversaries on the other side of the political aisle.

We have been. I am fine with it. In fact, there have been far worse wars on this site in the past. Seems people forget about some of that.

People need to learn to not take things so seriously and if the arguments get too heated to just walk away. A person doesn’t need to answer every post and keep it all going.

That is how we get along. Make your point and shy away from prolonged arguing.
