“Misunderstanding is not something that people here try to work through; it’s something they celebrate.”
Thank you, MD.
“And it became clear that this sort of conversation is nothing I want to have anything to do with.”
Thank you,MD.
This forum is often a refutation of St. Paul’s admonition to us: “Anticipate one another in respect”.
There is only one winner when people, all of whom sincerely profess to love the Lord Jesus, turn on one another.
And yet...
Galatians 2:9-11
9 James, Cephas[c] and John, those esteemed as pillars, gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship when they recognized the grace given to me. They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcised. 10 All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I had been eager to do all along.11 But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was clearly wrong.
1Ti 4:1 ¶ Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 4 For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. 6 ¶ If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
