I don't disagree, Wyatt . . . well, I don't on the "out of bounds" part. I'm just curious as to why he reconsidered it. It seemed on par with all his other posts. Hell, it was less abrasive than a lot of his other posts, so I assume he didn't remove it because he felt it was too "offensive."
No...TRUE Christianity does not. I get quite frustrated with people even in my own congregation that seem to be over judgmental. I've been over judgmental myself, but I'm working on it. There are many...even most...Christians that think that they are better than others. I'm no better in my actions than any, but I'll condemn my own actions as well. There are man actions that are wrong, but none of them makes the person an abomination. There is a preacher who just left our congregation that I feel is a bully, and I was very outspoken that I think that the elders were wrong in not marking him as such. People have the right to make choices in their lives (short of those choices that hurt others). But there is a line that must be drawn as to when and where (and to what extent) that someone can voice their opinions about sin. But stating a belief is not bullying.Originally Posted by Varenne Rodin

Remember this, my friends: there are no such things as bad plants or bad men. There are only bad cultivators.
The humility you express in this latest post is admirable and Christian in the truest sense of the word Bien.
