I'm pretty sure this site has one because I've seen some here beg for another to just ignore them. I don't know how to put somebody (as if we don't know who) on ignore. Can you help me with this?
The ignore function.

It's StanJ. I'm just not going to tolerate unrelenting adversaries. Life is too short. Christians, those who actually have Jesus in their heart, do not endlessly contend with others and they seek out common ground and points of reconciliation. I don't suffer any delusion that everyone here under the banner "Christian" actually is. It's actions that count. On another site, there was somebody claiming to be an Orthodox priest who was relentlessly antagonistic toward me. I gave him multiple opportunities to reveal a pastor's heart, even asking him pointedly if he was praying for me. He never showed such a heart because he didn't possess one. He wasn't a clergyman of any kind, just a liar. That's the nature of the internet. Regardless of what people claim about themselves, you don't know who they really are until their actions betray them.Madad21 said:
And by that measure, you're one of the most Christian people here!
Mate I understand exactly where you are coming from and I feel for your frustration.
I have to be honest with you and admit that a lot of the things you and Stanj argue over goes over my head a bit, Im embarrassed to admit I dont join in because I dont really understand some of the conversations. I think you are both very clued up and I think you are both wise in your own gifting's, I have learnt quite a lot from both of you. you are blessed beyond measure and I see love for Christ from both of you. thats so important.
I also must admit that I have times where I can be arrogant and get on my high horse, its not a good feeling when someone points out error especially when its belief you have had for such a long time, it feels intrusive and sometimes even hurtful. And the other person seems arrogant and insensitive as they dish it out. we store up animosity against that person and in reality we dont even really know that person.
I reckon that if I spent time in theological conversation with the people I love to worship with at church, I would soon start to see them differently even start to question their faith if we really differed in opinion. That would really be a shame because we stand side by side and sing the songs and pray for each other and we edify each other and we can see the love of Christ in each other, we both want Christ to be the center of our worlds and we will journey together in perseverance to reach that goal.
So why did we let our differences tear us apart? we lost something so special, something that wasnt all about us.
I have spoken with Stanj on many occasions and he has been supportive and edifying, he has had wisdom for me and even a little rebuke which was hard to hear but good for me, I know Stanj has a huge heart for Christ and he has an inspiring passion for the word.
I have done the same things with you and I have found a guy who like me has a family who loves Jesus with considerable gusto and is not affraid to speak out. you are a very passionate person and you have a massive heart which God has gifted you, but that is why it gets hurt so easily, I know because I have one myself and sometimes it feel more like a burden then a gift, but there is a reason for it. Theres a reason for Stanj and there is a reason for Madad and a reason for my beloved brother Vale who I am honored to have next to me. If you were here I would put my arm over you and we would pray as brothers and I would certainly do the same with Stanj.
Im not saying you need to do anything you dont want to here and like I said I do understand your pain. But give it some thought looking through the eyes of Christ as he looks at us. If he saw us as we see each other he would never have made it to that cross.
Your a good man and I suspect you are an even greater father and husband.
God bless you Vale you are a great source of inspiration to me, and I thank you wholeheartedly................. my brother from another mother!!
