Is this post about doctrinal positions, gossipy threads or both?

I think you carried the salt analogy way too far!  Jesus wasn't telling us to irritate others because salt irritates things. He was telling us to preserve and redeem the world around us, because that's what salt does.
Speaking of analogies, if you really wanted to make a difference, and that was your mission on AFF (God-called you to AFF), you may want to try honey instead of vinegar. With your type of introduction, you will only attract flies.
Good luck, Prophet Robby.

I think we already have some irritants, such is life.

Re: Apostolic? Friends?:-)
Socialite.....Please read the entire thread. The reference made about salt being an irritant was in response to one of our friends who posted. As to the prophetic implication, sorry.....you're wrong. My apologies for the offense.

Sister Alvear: Thanks for the intro. Missions is a passion of mine. My family has been supported missions since the mid 1930's. Your family has a great calling.

Gossipy threads. These do tremendous harm. If you cannot support your case without using personal references, you have a weak case. This thread is about positive affirmation, not negative defamation.
