No problem PW, I have a nice shiny penny in my piggy bank.
That's just it GM, we aren't all privy to the same info.
THIS IS THE MAIN SOURCE OF THE WHOLE CC PROBLEMThat's just it GM, we aren't all privy to the same info.
If people were all honest and upfront, I don't think this would be happening.........I can disagree with someone, and I frequently do............but I don't go to other websites talking about them and stirring up trouble..........I'm all for sunlight and honesty........if people can't be HONEST with each other whats the point?? How is that Chrisitan behavior?
This is supposed to be a Conservative Christian forum.....a place for all Conservatives from differing practices to come together on Conservative issues............pretending that certain behavior from certain individuals is not going on (forgiving them) but not correcting their behavior only creates a bigger problem IMO......its like not correcting a child....we all know where that leads
Call a spade a spade and be done with it...........I just want to know who the spades are.....

That anger that so many of us are feeling is just toxic. Primarily to ourselves. And it hurts God when we behave like this. Am hurting Him by being so cross at someone. The amount of anger in this forum at the moment must feel like acid to Him, and He deserves so much more than that. Ya know? I don't want us to carry on hurting Him
GM, you probly already know this, but you have to keep in mind that forgiving doesn't mean we're commanded to go back and unite or confide in them again.Oh, sorry. I meant we all saw the post that was copied into here, and we all see the posts of people in CC. That's what I meant
We're called to hold one another accountable, for sure, but not at the expense of forgiveness.
The thing is, none of us are good enough to be able to castigate anyone else. That's what I realised. We've all hurt people and we've all been hurt. We're all struggling and trying our hardest.
Mostly, though, at the moment, am so angry with someone, and it feels like a lump of poison in my tummy
I can respect that ! Heck, I know that some feel I'm not even a real christian because of my faith....I don't let it deter me from trying to come together on core christian beliefs or actions we should take.....people are people, and we won't always agree.......what is needed is some old fashioned RESPECT........can't people just treat people with the dignity of a human being without resorting to ugly tactics and such??? This is what I'm trying to figure out in this forum right now. I'd rahter talk about it than sweep it under the rug and hide it........sheesh, you'd think we wern't capable of acting like adults or something........it's a shameTHIS IS THE MAIN SOURCE OF THE WHOLE CC PROBLEM
Worse Epiphany, we have been intimidated to fellowship with them and be fine with it.
Some of us know what goes on w/ them - I do, I've seen it for years. I have no trust, and this just lends proof to why I divide from these groups.
God doesn't tell us to SIT WITH everyone -- I won't be forced, intimidated or pushed to fellowship with some of these people.
And I'm tired of being told how "unloving" I am if I don't.
I decide for myself (THRU God's Spirit) who I fellowship & unite with. I will not be bullied thru intimidation to hug & embrace who they tell me I have to, OR ELSE i GET LABLED : MILITANT FUNDAMENTALIST.
which I am NOT.
GOD calls me to divide with certain groups he warns me of in my bible. That's called obedience.
This has been the problem - for weeks now. Many of us felt it and have been complaining.
Excellent post sister.
I understand that.......believe me, I deal with this kind of stuff in my own family........I know that gut wrenching feeling all too wellOh, sorry. I meant we all saw the post that was copied into here, and we all see the posts of people in CC. That's what I meant

You're right
It doesn't mandate fellowshipping with the person. But CC has become a hot-bed of insults and snide comments and remarks. If we all forgave, none of those would exist. People don't have to spend time together, even here in CC, but nor can we behave hatefully towards one another. Am saying that to myself more than anyone else.
Epiphany, I have never seen in you in CCC before. I would like to welcome you even at this time of tribulation. There is division in CCC as you have clearly noticed but I don't want that to disencourage you from getting involved here. We still have our fun threads but several others involve debates relating to potential resolutions to this schism.See, it can work..........I agree with you....hahahaaaaaaa
I posted in the beginning........I've been quite ill, I've had some family issues to deal with as well.....I haven't been around much........but this doesn't seem to be the forum I remember.....
