Craig:
I answered this in a thread, but decided to post it here so nobody would miss it.

Diana,

You make a good point.  Sarcasm is a two edge sword.  When Jesus used it, it was to upbraid the religious scholars and teachers of his time.  These were the ones who were leading the people to destruction.  Also Jesus was perfect and did not have to worry about the "plank" in his eye.

Ray uses sarcasm when answering the religious "scholars" of our time.  They may not be preachers and teachers, but they are spouting doctrine that is completely false.  When a person writes Ray with questions that are searching and trying to understand, Ray does not generally answer with sarcasm.  Much is due to discernment that Ray is given. 

When a person comes to the forum, and you suspect that it is a person who does not share our beliefs.  It is helpful to us as moderators for the membership to "try the spirits" with pointed questions.  As we have said, with enough rope this person will eventually "hang" themselves.  But, BUT I wish the membership would leave it to the moderators to show these persons the door, and not take it upon themselves to drive them away with personal attacks and sarcasm.  If we want to throw "stones" are we any better than the "religious types" of Jesus' time? 

The moderators will start deleting posts that attack another poster.  Ask questions, turn up the heat with pointed questions if you feel led, but leave it to the moderators to decide if a person belongs or not.

The moderators have probably been asleep at the switch lately, for that I apologize.

Hi Craig,

Thank you for your post.   As moderators you guys have a tough job, and I think you are all awesome at it.  God has put you in those positions for good reason! ;) 

I know there are people who show up here posing as "scholars" and trying to show us all the errors in our beliefs.  This just happened recently and you guys handled it well.  (And there are some of us who occasionally have spurts of fancying ourselves as scholars.  ;D) 

I also know that people here, especially long time posters, have good hearts, and even when they are being critical their intentions are good.  As moderators you would know this, but the newbies and guests may not.  But at the end of the day, you just can't make everyone happy! 

So my hats off to the moderators and my prayers are with you for your continued discernment.



Peace,
Diana
