No , I was saying maybe that expecting anyone around here to have anything worth reading or even worth repeating is probably asking way to much , since Jesus himself say not many find the right gate. most will be left out .
When Jesus was talking about the narrow gate, that is not for born-again Christians and those who love and are following Jesus. That shows how many come to Jesus vs. not coming to Jesus.

How do you not get offended on these forums? I have asked non-controversial questions that was not meant to be offensive or generate debates, it was just me trying to understand other people, and yet I got criticized for my questions. They were innocent. I wasn't advocating sin and I didn't criticize anyone myself. Even my old username got criticize. My user name was Appointed2015. I never thought I was God's appointed anything. In fact, I question my own salvation. But somebody acted as though I thought I was God's gift just because of my username. It was just a username.

I don't get it. I am not here to stir up any muck. I hate fights and debates; but people have tried to go at it with me. Am I being overly sensitive?

I mean how do you not get offended by critical people on these forums?

As you can see, people are already having disagreements on a thread asking why everyone is so easily offended. This is the nature of the internet more than anything, where people feel free to say whatever they like, whereas they might hold back when standing face to face with someone. This forum isn't so bad but there are definite disagreements over doctrine here and you find people coming in and disagreeing with you regularly. Personally, I let the positives encourage me and I ask for the Lords help with the negatives. Don't let the people here get to you, they are just at different places in their walks and don't necessarily understand where you are coming from, or may even be deceived about things the Lord has taught you. Prayer I think is the best thing you can do in those situations.

Not at all. Why would you think that?

My name is Bill and my first post on this thread did not place CF in the best of light.
I honestly do not understand those who report posts simply because that poster is not a member of that club. What is the harm in listening to what others say.
Actually I think I know. They do not want others to see the big heavy load of manmade doctrines they are dragging behind them. But I see right through that.

I am sorry I did not know your name was Bill. You can replace the name Bill with any name on the picture I posted and the message is still the same.

People like to make it their business to pass judgement on any little thing. Some are hurting, others are pharisees, still others think it's fun to cause problems and hurt people.
I also find most people want to argue about the bible instead of live it. There's a reason I don't come here much.
