Razzel.......it was you that introduced "course talk" into the conversation (and it's *not* what's being discussed).
yep...which means that the context of the quote is that of course talk. IOW's it was important to the point being made, thus specified and removing it from conversation because you didn't mention it first, is to remove the context of the quote in question which is rude, unloving, and otherwise contrary to both good communication and how God commands us to behave one to another.
To continue to use that as part of the discussion isn't helpful (or on topic).
it is when the topic is how to handle a situation that does not specify whether it is a course joke with fart humor or not.
SE explained what she was discussing (which was in context with what I mentioned long ago in the thread). We're talking about things that aren't clear in Scripture (or even mentioned) and different people have different views as related to what is "sinful" or not.
again? are you suggesting that it is not sinful to partake in course talk, even though scripture tells us not to? Cause the quote in question, specified we were talking about course jokes with fart humor inserted, therefore, your only option is to 1. agree, 2. disagree because you don't agree that scriptures command to not participate in course talk, is not sin. So, should I find the scripture for you, or are you one of those that think sin is only those things that say in scripture, "this is sin" and everything else we are taught is wrong is just a bad idea?
You've given your opinion on Matthew 18 more than a few occasions in this thread and it's been responded to.
by twisting and turning of which I am spending a lot of time correcting the misrepesentations, and it is getting old and really needs to stop.........iow's deal with what was actually said about Matt. 18 or move on to something bigger and better, continually twisting what I said by removing context etc. is only inflammatory and honestly, I am on the verge of reporting it as such. It is one thing, to accidentally misunderstand someone, but when you have been corrected multiple times and as another poster once said, lacks the respect to accept the misunderstanding because it is a form of correction, that is quite another matter.
I don't see a need to continue on in that. I think all of us agree that if someone says to us (or even responds in a way that demonstrates) that they're uncomfortable about being in the presence of certain behaviors.....out of respect and honor (and trying to maintain unity and preserve the relationship).....we try to not bring that behavior into their environment.
yep...which means, that in line with Matt. 18, you go privately to the person, and in the agreement you have with the disputable matter, you have "won" them over. If on the other hand, one person persists in judgment, the second step of Matt. 18 becomes important, that of taking a witness. On the forum that would be equivalent to reporting the poster, of which I am to the point where I don't see any other way to get some here, to understand that taking things out of context and twisting another posters words then blaming them, is sinful.
I think that's a great example of respecting someone.......a way that "stirs one another to love" (
Hebrews 10:24).....and a great way to encourage others.
we saw that when I told you that I would refrain from using lol in posts addressed to you, but you refused to accept it, and began bashing me with your opinions, which crosses the line and turns into judgment on your part of me...which is a sin issue. It only stirs love if it is accepted rather than beating someone for disagreeing with you.
