We are to live our own lives as a definition of Christianity. Hopefully that will bring others to know Him and love Him.
Such an outpouring of Christian love.CF- Cesspool Forums

In time...Tease!

St Francis rocks!Preach the Gospel always and use words when necessary.
That's a shame. Okay dokey.. you are entitled to an opinion as I have the same privilege.I don't think anyone is being unforgiving or for that matter out of linee with the posts like it's been suggested. Every body has a right to there opinions and I just think yours are stupid.

Do I have some stories to tell you, Larry!
Idealistically, perhaps. However, historically when one is give a voice, inevitability another is silenced. What this change may have done is shifted who has the greater voice, but now that it has been given, those who desired it, because they felt oppressed, will most likely become the oppressors. Just look at the history of mankind.People have always been free to leave. There is no change there. The difference is that no one is now forced into dark corners with no voice. Now everyone can speak equally. If what they say is more profound, more accepted and more consistent with what can be demonstrated, perhaps you should be listening to what they're saying instead of protesting their new-found right to say it.
Exactly.
It is not (and never was) our job in life to define Christianity for any other follower of Christ.

Pointing out who is and who is not a Christian is not a part of the Great Commission, and not a part of Baptismal vows or theology.
Erwin's vision reflects this beautifully, and I hope people will learn to live it in these forums.
BTW - I think it's fantastic Lisa keeps calling us back to the central act of forgiveness. (You rock, sistah!)
Yep....Spirit-lead is outlined in Galatians 5:22-23 "The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." We are spiritual with spiritual attitudes of our hearts. If the people are submitting to the Holy Spirit, who will give them fruit. We will know by their fruits.It's honestly sad how much vitriol is coming from people wearing Christian icons and how much forgiveness and willingness to start new is coming from the atheists. I guess that by their fruits we will know them after all..

God is love and the lifeline of the tree of which we are branches. W/o love we are nothing and can do nothing (ie:all is in vain) All comes to motives= His or yours?Yep....Spirit-lead is outlined in Galatians 5:22-23 "The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control."
