I think both sides of that issue are too wrapped up in Mystical spirituality stuff....In my opinion these distract greatly from the work we are suppose to be doing...which is spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ....learning and loving Him more and cleaning up our own acts. Not to mention building others up in the thruths of what Christ would have us know...and those are plainly understood.
As for people getting their pants in knots on these threads over others believes etc. Well, I love the passion and debates no matter how heated they get....as long as it remains on topic or another interesting topic is interjected. I think it helps us all to vent a bit with the outside world we contend with everyday.....we operate, after all, in enemy territory from the moment we open our eyes in the morning til we close them at night. People should not take the remarks so seriously.
However we all do believe that we should stand against error in the things of the Lord....so of course things will heat up...the second problem that occurs is we fail terribly at finding just exactly the bottom line truth that might be revealed in these debates.....I think the Lords good spirit leaves the debate and we all loose out then...
I have noted the threads seem to get into these you said she said etc. places..and we each come to the defense of others...but this too is good I think...I've honestly come up with some great comebacks I can use in the outside world when this happens. After all we are here not just to learn and debate....but I believe as important sharpen out stance and our backbones to stand in the face of those who oppose Christ in the outside world.
The amazing thing is we all come back into the fray...now why is that? There is a love of those who are in Christ among us thru His Spirit that is here....like brothers and sisters is families we get into fights and even at times leave a scratch here and there....but when push comes to shove I have no doubt all Christians will unite agains the foe....
And yes even with Quix and those who can dig at us wher we don't want to be dug at.....Everyone who addresses him just keeps coming back and continues to debate or slander..whatever the mood might be at the time....How come? Why bother if it is so bothersome how people might express themselves? Because despite all Christians do have something to say and there are good minds here.....maybe some a little worn from time and tide...maybe meds etc. get in the way for others....maybe some not as educated or leanered..............everyone mispells!
... But we all come back....that dear friend is the Lord.
THANKS FOR YOUR KIND WORDS.
