Joe,

I couldn't agree with you more. I would like to see all responses be answered out of love, as an example...and this isn't being "weak". It's actually following the scriptures.

Mat 5:44    "But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you, and persecute you".

Rom 12:14    "Bless them which persecute you; bless, and not curse them".

Luke 6:27   "But I say unto you which hear, love your enemies, do good to them which hate you".

We can certainly "lovingly" ban someone. Even those that have to be banned, why not ban them with with a loving attitude. Do we not all wish for them to recieve the spirit of God, we don't hate them do we? If someone feels contrary to this opinion...I have to ask why. What is really served by going beyond that. I truly believe that the word is our absolute reference, not what we think.

An environment that makes people afraid to post, for fear of being chastised, possibly simply for their ignorance... is not scripturally sound. I have seen responses to "wrong" posts that were worse than the original post itself.

I am guilty of this. I almost left this forum because my words were too harsh towards others, in my opinion.

I support ALL the moderators...what a tough job! I am NOT saying any of this towards any one person or group of people...just in GENERAL, as an opinion.

I thank God for this topic being brought out, only good can come from this. I really hope I don't come across as sounding like a jerk, this topic has caused me a lot of distress since being a member. I haven't posted that much because of feeling that I will be "focused upon" for being so dumb about some things.

Love to all,
chuck
