Another Forum.
OK
So their is this member on another forum. He makes such rude cruel comments, but he thinks he is justified to do so. Its a Christian forum, like this one. But we allow non-christians to get into the mix. Any time he disagrees with an athiest or non-christian he makes comments "You're not Christian, so you can shut up" or "I'm sorry, but I don't listen to the opinions of atheisits"
I see this as a TERRIBLE thing. Obviosuly these non-Christians are on a Christian forum because they're looking for something. This guy is showing the exact oposite idea of what a Christian should be. He's not showing Christs love, and I'm willing to be hes made at least 10 people who were not Christian leave that forum and never come back. That could have been their first and only real interaction with a Christian community, and if I were an outsider, my thoughts would be "if thats what being a Christian is about, I want no part in it"
He's even attacks fellow Christians, to the point of saying "if thats what you think, God isn't in you" and other ideas like that. It drives me crazy. I want to snap. He's TURNING PEOPLE AWAY FROM CHRIST.... and the worst part of it all. He thinks what he is doing is FINE.
He's really good at quoting scripture, but he takes things out of context. He made a topic about depression, and he attacked anyone who said the medication or counceling is needed. He said God is all you need, and if you're still depressed that you're not Christain. I've never felt such anger towards someone. I send him an e-mail telling him that as a Christian, we should show the same love Jesus did, because Jesus showed his love to nonbelievers, and thats how he converted them. Then he goes and attacks me for my lifestyle and attacks me about my sins (obviously I know I'm not perfect, aparently he thinks he is)
What can I say to someone like this? I really want them to change their attitude, becuase it stinks.
