Iris, as a man thinks in his heart, so is he.

Iris,

It is Proverbs 23:7
"For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee."

I love this verse.  It is not what a man says or really how he acts toward a person, but it is how he thinks in his heart.  I am probably being a little liberal with it when I apply it to one's attitude, but I believe it is certainly a powerful trait in a person.  When one truly gets the mind of Christ, just think of how that persons thinking in their innermost parts will affect how they live their life.

Totally free indeed.

CIY,

Thanks for the scripture!
Now that I've read and thought about it, I can see that if you have love in your heart, you will love all (or at least try to) and by having love in your heart, It will change you into an new person, with God's help.

Hi all I am new to this site and just wanted to chime in. I think as the moderator said you will always have disagreements with any decision that is made. There is unfortunately no way of getting around that. What I think or pray that would happen in instances like this is to show humility and love to each other on both sides of the issue. I feel for most of us who have found this site, feel like we have finally found our kindred spirits.In light of this we should be careful not to so easily threaten to leave such a wonderful opportunity for fellowship,nor should we so easily suggest leaving if you don't like it. I want all of you to know that I am watching to see how we treat one another hear,that is far more important than any revelation you believe you are in possesion of.James 3Vs13-17 says Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him let him show out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter envying and strife in your hearts,glory not,and lie not against the truth.This wisdom descendeth not from above,but is earthly,sensual,devilish. For where envying and strife are, there is confusion and every evil work.But the wisdom that is from above is first pure,then peaceable,gentle,and easy to be entreated,full of mercy and good fruits,without partiality,and without hypocrisy. So lets love each other,and continue on with one another. God bless P.S. I am not fussing or trying to be anyones teacher.

I appreciate your words and intention so do not be offended when I take issue with your following quote:

I want all of you to know that I am watching to see how we treat one another hear,that is far more important than any revelation you believe you are in possesion of

When it comes to revelation from God, it is far more important what anyone thinks whether it is a friend, brother, mother or wife.  Jesus said that if you are worried about what man thinks you cannot be saved.
Worrying about what people think is what kept people away from seeking to know Christ better. 

I think one of the main things people of the truth should do is not be so easily hurt by discussions and rebukes from brothers and sisters, but at the same time try each spirit to see where it is from.

Bless you.
CIY
