And for the record, I have not been crying like the baby in the image. Though if I did cry, it would be over the fate of the people who have been attacking me so personally...in that if they don't ever repent, they are going to hell.

What they have been doing may indeed be damaging to my standing as a minister here; because it was so disrespectful and because I am not used to such treatment and therefore I did not know how to react to it with dignity.

I know that I do need to drop it though... There is an underlying issue here that people are not seeing; and which I do not want to go into detail about...but it has to do with an offence that has been directed towards me and it has affected me deeply; and has also affected my behaviour on...

Welll let's just keep saying things that hurt each others feelings then...it is obviously not a sin!

By the time you get to Jr. High School you start to overcome all of the old elementary school bullies...no wonder you don't like the Jr. High School atmosphere. Things are at a more mature level than what you're used to.

But I am going to try to drop it. 1Co 6:1, Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? 1Co 6:2, Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest...

Didn't see that before... Because I responded to you as you initially treated me, now suddenly I am in the wrong...and yet this should say something about your initial treatment of me.

Then it is indeed slander.

The specific scripture concerns speaking evil of your brother...and I believe that it applies to what has been happening to me at the hands of this Calvinist gang.

Let me just give you a big hug...because I feel the love coming from you. Would you like me to sell you some girl scout cookies? I have been completely truthful; but because what I say is in disagreement with your pet doctrines, you have done nothing but attack me left and right. And then you...

I received Christ when I was faced with a decision. I couldn't sit on the fence any longer, as I was being tempted to sell my soul to the devil. I said very simply in that instance, "God, I don't know if You're real; but I'm going to start reading Your word and doing what it says; and I know...

There is a need...for there is sin in your camp.

There is basically an OLD covenant and a NEW covenant. Hebrews 8:8-10 describes the NEW Covenant that applies not only to Jews but to Gentiles. Gentiles under the New Covenant bear the fruit of the Spirit and therefore the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in them. Galatians 5:22-23...

There is one God, the eternal Spirit, who came to dwell in flesh. Not a copy of Him; and not 1/3 of Him.

The very thing that I do... However, you would disagree for that my rightly dividing the word leads me to a different conclusion than what you believe in, as a Calvinist. I would suggest merely that you continue to study the word apart from the teachings of Calvin and/or those who subscribe to...

I believe in Total Depravity myself...so you are preaching to the choir...I don't even need to read your statements on the issue. I was not referring in what I was saying to your doctrine; but to how that doctrine translates into the way you live, behave, and speak. Acting like elementary...

It is only the Christian thing to do.

I am obviously outnumbered here; which does not mean that those who are against me are right. The way to life is narrow and few there be that find it. @Preacher4Truth, I suppose that you think that this: is a pearl that I ought to treasure. Well, I apply it to you in your last statement...

Actions speak louder than words. You have no remorse because of your belief about Total Depravity.
