Genesis 13:8

Abram said to Lot, "Let's not have fighting between us, .... After all, we're family... ." Genesis 13:8 from The Message

I thought of this Scripture after reading some of the posts here lately.
On one we have Bro. Price and Rico going back and forth.
I've been guilty of saying stuff with a smart-mouthed, sarcastic attitude.
We had one where a bunch of people jumped on Bro. Strange.
We've seen others where it gets pretty heated.
Some of these discussions generate heat but no light at all.

Can't we show a little more respect towards our brothers and sisters?
Remember that famous preacher called Bro. Dangerfield that used to say, "I get no respect"?

All of these threads being started about an attack on Bro. Strange...

I do not veiw questiooning what he said as an attack or BS being jumped on. It is a discussion which he started and then disappeared. If he would have been here earlier it probably would have ended quicker.

Lesson...if you start a cotroversy, do it when you have time to finish it or you will unleash a banter of "he said she said" with those trying to defend for and against the cotroversial statements....

Besides, BS questioned the spiritual motivation of an entire district...and his defenders seem to have ignored or forgotten that point.

Sam, I, for one, am sick to death of people like Bill Price, who think it's their job to come on these forums and tell people they need to repent and pray back through. Pray back through to what, what they are? No thanks! If it's a fight people like him are looking for then they have come to the right person because I am not going to stand for it anymore.

Show respect? Yes. And if YOU want respect show it to others. Personally I dont like debate or hard, strained feelings but rather love and peace.

But if we cannot hammer out controversial issues ON THIS FORUM WHERE CAN WE?

As far as Bro. Strange goes he should have known what he said would be challenged and questioned if not attacked outright. If you dish it out be ready to take it.

Good post Sam.But the thing i find most disturbing on this forum is the lack of forgiveness in some.Without it we have nothing.

Bro.Sam I have a message Bible myself but I'm not too crazy about it.
It's not my cup of tea.

I wonder why BP is here....isn't there a Conservative Apostolic forum where he can go to and flame AFF from?
