I challenge you to look!
Matthew 5:22
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

Are your posts more about tearing someone down, or just topics of discussion?
No one is going to be able to change another's actions, only their own.
I have faults, you guys more than likely see them better than I do.
I'm not asking for a report on my faults, though I'm sure I'll get a report card anyway.
As an experiment how are you treating others?
Those you disagree with should be the ones you need to be the most
careful with, as they can bring out the worst in ourselves.

Rajk999 & divegeester (and any others), my apologies for any offense I may have caused you (recently or othersise), was not my intent. I endeavor to speak life but sometimes it is something else that comes out. Sorry.

in this world once that happens even our imagination can kick in and start accusing those
we dislike of doing things that they are not and we can get worked up about that. So when
something real comes, it is very easy to be so justified over our anger. I realized it was
then when I was most justified in my anger that was the time I need to give it to the cross,
and ask God to forgive them, and if they had done anything or just my imagination was
doing it give all to Christ for their forgiveness, instead of condemning them. It can be a
struggle at times, but in the end as He forgives me, I should forgive others, and just so
you know its still a work in progress. 🙂

I do though gladly give apology to posters like Kelly if my comments ever cut a little too close to the bone. I agree with very little that he writes, but do not doubt his sincerity or genuine desire to discuss important issues.

Originally posted by leunammiI dont even know why threads like these get started and its mostly by Christians .. they tend to be more insulting that atheists. First I have immunity against harsh words, so I dont care about that... so Lenunammi your apology for harsh words is not necessary. I notice other more subtle ways of insulting someone. That happens a lot around here and it is generally ignored. Maybe Christians should focus on that.

eg.. not addressing the content of the post and deliberately attempting to steer the thread elsewhere. Josephw tries that tactic and he also uses insults as well and these are generally unprovoked insults.
