Is it me or does it seem like the atheists, agnostics and other unbelieving groups are just running amuck on this forum? Maybe the original intent was to witness to these people but its gotten to the point where the door is so wide open that the demons are flooding in here by the second. I am literally watching my brothers and sisters in Christ be attacked left and right and not much is being done about it. We are getting on the defensive and then getting slapped by the moderators all the while the sympathy, pity and compassion is going towards the unbelievers. Our FIRST duty is to our brothers and sisters in Christ. I have received a few warnings and its not about that. Sometimes intent is hard to comprehend from the other end of the keyboard, I understand. What say ye my brothers and sisters in Christ?

I've noticed that some have been insulting the Christian God. I believe that this has to be stopped. Questioning the existence of God is one thing, challenging Him is something that shouldn't be tolerated. When I notice this, I put my two cents in defense of the Lord. Peace in Christ

Hardness of heart about God goes with touchy-feeliness about one's own ego.

I think this is why the Mods have designed this site so that there are areas for Christians only, and other areas where non-christians are welcome to say their piece. So long as they are speaking in the correct area of this site and abiding guidelines, then that's fair enough. But if they are insulting God/jesus/saints then Im sure the mods would hold them accountable. Disrespect shouldn't be tolerated. Its hard because you're typing your views and how you express yourself can have unintended outcomes. No-one can read your smile or body language and the words on a page is all we have to go by.

Let them. The wrath on the unbelievers are much greater, in the end, then the little ruler slap on the hand we get in the forum. So I spare them and leave them to the hands of God.

I rather pray instead that they come to a place of repentance and let them be.

Not to dismiss any needed action of course, but personally learning to just pick my battles.

hahaha I think Ive seen plenty of wrath from christians and non-christians alike. I suppose its good that so many are passionate in their beliefs. It always helps though if you walk into a topic with an open mind, and a mindset of respect

At the end of the age the angels will decide who is saved and who is not redeemed. We can not make that determination now least the wheat be tore out along with the weeds.

Better seeing the unbelievers than hypocrites with wicked hearts at churches.
Let them express their opinion, we are called to pray for them.

Matt 15:7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

Im really, really sorry, but i have another view. Please don´t get mad at me! I see as many Christians who can´t accept Atheists as vice versa. We all have a responsibility to make things better between us, but we don´t, instead we hit each other in the head with our truth, and our truth only. There is no respect for other people, unless we learn to accept and respect each other we are far away from where we should be. We live our faith or non faith with our pride, pride is always bigger, i think it´s wrong. The least we could do is respect each other, but we can´t, we can´t turn the other cheek, we have to win, pride is bigger than faith because we have an ego. Funny thing is, it´s always everyone elses fault, when do we start to look at ours??? When do we become mature?? i´m sure we are not blameless, and we never will be, as long as we can´t lay down our ego and be bigger people, we will never get anywhere. We put fences between each other. We should be able to have a constructive conversation with people of all kinds, we should be able to learn from each other, Christian or not, it should not matter.I don´t think our first duty is our brothers and sisters in Christ, i think our first duty is all people because we are human before anything else. Our hearts are stone cold, it´s a shame....

Spread the "word of God" by accurately and electronically seeking and finding the "word of God" on any subject...THEN copy + paste!

Ecclesiastes 11:1[ Cast Your Bread on the Waters ]
Cast your bread on the surface of the waters, for you will find it after many days.

Isaiah 55:11 (NASB)
So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth;
It will not return to Me empty,
Without accomplishing what I desire,
And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.

Matthew 4:4
...“It is written, ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.’”

RIGHTLY DIVIDING...accurately handling the "word of truth"

Defend the Faith

2 Timothy 2:15 (NASAB)
Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman
who does not need to be ashamed,
accurately handling the word of truth.

2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV)
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God,
a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth.

In the end, the focus should be 'looking unto Jesus' (Hebrews 12.2).
