It saddens and frustates me that we spend more time as a community fighting among ourselves and making rules and arguing about who is and is not a real SDA, rather then going out and doing our 'jobs' as Christians. I have been trying to stay back, and not make comments when I could, because of this. I mean, we should be spreading the good news of Christ's death, resurrection, and soon return. And instead we are infighting.

I mean, we have had the chance to help Moriah (sorry about talking about you Moriah). Who needs it, and who our denomination has failed before. And instead we have spent most the time here fighting with eachother... so much so that I think many didn't realise what Moriah's issues were.

In unity is power, a group can do so much more then a single person. I know that I have a hard time dealing with my own demons (I don't mean physical possession). And I know that we all have struggles that we are dealing with. But together we can do (and have done) a lot. I mean, look at our missions.

Anyways, instead of looking at this like a club, we should look at this as a place to share the gospel. And you don't share the gospel with other people who are saved (I think our churchs in NA do this too often), but with those who aren't.

peace,
JM

It is Sad Hun. I left my church for judging and accusations. I like this forum I have met alot of people and of course there are going to be More righteous people than us we just cant compete. I am here to spread the love to knock down all fighting in our midst by the blood of JESUS it will wash all hatred out of our hearts. It is easier to give up hate and condemn someone than to actually take the time for prayer and petitioning God's strength and wisdom while we do it. sometimes we talk out of both Ends if you know what i mean.

Very true words, JM. There is really too much fighting around here. It's giving us a very bad image to others, too. If our own "kind" are considering it negative, what are outsiders seeing?

I think that it is also important to share the gospel with those who have been saved, though, because being saved is a constant act, right?

Regardless. What we are doing here for the most part is not glorifying God. Will a split change that? I can't say, although I think it'll just bring new problems.

The people that could've helped Moriah the most didn't say a word.

and you know this because? You have no idea what might have been said to Moriah in private....

Having said that, the internet is not the venue to practice healing be it psychological, religious or other.... the internet can be a place where we can practice love....

Stormy, the BIG leap here is thinking that everyone KNOWS what true LOVE is....

ONLY once we really KNOW HIM and WANT to share HIM.......

I feel your heart JM... I really do...

I am burdened with the same desire to ONLY spread the good news.....

Creator Blessings.....

That puts you in the superior position of knowing what would have helped Moriah the most. That's a rather interesting, but not surprising, position to take.
