i was told you are the owner of this site and that is the reason i am addressing you specifically in this post.
After witnessing the many assaults you allow in your ''friendly Christian forum'' i see that it is misleading,
and when i joined i actually thought this was a ''Christian'' forum... wow... hence i wold like to thank you ALL for your clarification and to those who have commented on me as if i was some alien from outer of space... yet, you call yourselves ''Christians''... And i say ALL meaning those who have nothing better to do in a 'Christian' forum than to attack another Christian because in your mind they do not conform to your belief and your interpretation of what our Lord preached and gave all of us the gift of His gospel ...
There is more love and adoration of our Lord and Saviour Jesus the Christ in my small church i attend and pray than most of you in this forum... though i have sensed some truly beautiful souls and hearts, yet, you and you know who you all are, on one hand you bless and with the next breath you curse. i have been on Catholic forums and NEVER do they do to another Christian what you do here... on MySpace i had a Christian forum and we never crucified another Christian. We edified and with love spoke to each other, no matter what church, denomination, or non-denomination they were. That is what a true Christian forum is and not one where you allow those of your mindset to revel in the trampling on of another belief and Christian brethren. Discuss, yes of course... clarification and speaking of scripture, of course, but most of all it should always be EDIFICATION not CASTIGATION...
Maybe Jeff, since yo are the owner of this forum, you should also have a statement on your site, a warning statement against anyone who is not of yours and most of those in this forum's mindset and belief... so i call on you Jeff, as Michael, and many others, have made it clear that this is not a Catholic site, but what i didn't know when i joined is that amongst Christians there is prejudice, in my church we don't look down on another, we only speak of the love our Lord has for all of us.
Maybe, Jeff, together with the help of Michael or David or Mario or Ricko or anyone one else whom you esteem, you should include on your website heading the following:
Warning: Christians who are Catholics, Mormons, JW, (of course any other you ALL do not agree with) do not even think of joining.
Dear God, how will you defend yourselves when you come face to face with Christ...? If i was in a Muslim forum i, and other Catholics would probably get better treatment than you 'Christians' are doing here, and i am not the only Catholic that feels this way in this 'Christian' forum, and it is disappointing that we are not accepted as brethren Christian, this is not what our Lord wanted and preached, and definitely not what i expected to find when i joined.
John 16:2 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John 16&version=KJ21
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues; yea, the time cometh that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
Matthew 5:22 (KJV) | In Context | Whole Chapter
22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
The Judgment of the Nations.
Matthew 25: 31When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit upon his glorious throne,
32 and all the nations will be assembled before him. And he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
33He will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34Then the king will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me,
36naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.’
37Then the righteous will answer him and say, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?
38When did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you?
39When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you?’
40 And the king will say to them in reply, ‘Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.’
41Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
42For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink,
43a stranger and you gave me no welcome, naked and you gave me no clothing, ill and in prison, and you did not care for me.’
44 Then they will answer and say, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or ill or in prison, and not minister to your needs?’
45He will answer them, ‘Amen, I say to you, what you did not do for one of these least ones, you did not do for me.’ l And these will go off to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
Amen...
