HEY REFORMATIONIST!
Hello.
Your worries are over, Buddy.
I wasn't aware that I was worried.
You won't have to worry about a CATHOLIC VIEWPOINT being posted in the CATHOLIC FORUM any more!
VOW, you, as a Christian and a mod of this MB, should be appreciative for your brethren pointing out a non-edifying comment made about the faith and beliefs of other Christians, even if that comment was made by you. Can you honestly say that your comments were edifying? Please do not justify them by pointing out my own ungodliness. They are two separate issues. If you cannot justify your comments then you should appreciate that this was brought to light. I have no problem with what you feel about Martin Luther. It's how you express those feelings that should be scrutinized. I personally believe you should spend your time praying for Martin Luther and those you believe he has led astray instead of viewing his separation from your church in a way that causes you to disdain the man. I addressed that which I took issue with in an appropriate, CF approved method. You, however, feel the need to address this in a public forum:
No need to report me for my "attitude"!!
Again, you should appreciate the fact that this was pointed out and if you had a comment about it should have addressed me in a more private manner.
What a relief about what? That you are offended? That you feel the need to step down from the position of authority that many on this MB feel you merit? No, I'm not relieved, nor was your resignation as a moderator something that I can effect. That is your choice so look to yourself for the catalyst, not me.
I hereby resign as Moderator from Christian Forums. This place has degenerated to nothing but a snipefest, and I don't need the aggravation it provides.
VOW, I know I'm not Catholic but "the aggravation" that is provided is not provided by this MB. It is provided by the way you give in to the temptation to respond in ungodliness. There is nothing wrong with this MB, nor can any of us blame someone else when we respond in an ungodly manner. On the contrary, this MB is a fantastic theater for all of us to work on responding in love. We are sanctified by the interaction we engage in here. It is a great place to practice being holy because it shows many of us on a daily basis how prideful and sinful we are quick to be. I encourage you not to leave.
"Body of Christ," indeed.
This is the Body of Christ, at least I think so. As with any family there are members that I get along with better but interacting with those that I don't struggle with does little to show me my sinfulness. It is those that I respond to in ungodliness from whom I learn the most about myself and my proclivity to sin.
God bless
