How do you think your posts do anything to edify the body of Christ?
You hate self righteousness & holier than thou attitudes (and rightly so) yet you
don't see how your posts appear to come across.
I ask you, do you long for the approval of Jesus?
Spreading division doesn't cut it.
Ron, Dan didn't start this thread or are you just taking this opportunity to once again show your dislike for him?

Thank you.

And no, I don't agree with Carp calling her a moron. But I think he has a right to express his feelings about the thread.(BTW, I seem to remember some justification for such things even being included in this thread. )
Well, he wasn't expressing his feelings about the thread. He was insulting the individual who started the thread.

Re: Interesting Article from a Conservative Aposto
To me, this is just illustrating how the entire Apostolic movement, liberals, conservatives and everywhere in between has decided to bite and devour their brethren, with no regard to personal integrity. The liberals have the conservatives for lunch, the conservatives rip apart the liberals, and the ultra-cons light into the conservatives who are "liberal" by comparison.
There's nothing pretty about any of it, and quite frankly, this forum is no different than the one illustrated in the shared blog, as far as similar dynamics go.
Too bad we have decided to measure one another by mustaches, tv, skirt length, sleeves, or a lack thereof, instead of by Biblical measures.
Galatians 5:22-26 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, ...Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law....And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts...If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit...Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another."
John 13:35 "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."
Matthew 5:46-48 "For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? ...And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? ...Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." I John 4:20-21 "If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? ...And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also."
I don't say shame on KimberlyS; I say shame on all of us.

Re: Interesting Article from a Conservative Aposto
After seeing the words written by some of the men in that article in question, I'm glad none of those men is my pastor.
