I try to tread lightly with the carnal minded, but my Lord never instructed me to tolerate lies. Misunderstanding something isn't sin. Even teaching error, strictly speaking isn't sin. God measures the intent of the heart, something we can't do, but some folks here actually believe that they know your thoughts and beliefs, confusing their evil imagination with reality and judging the saints.If someone truly believes something and they tell it, they are not lying, just misinformed.
Please be careful of word choice, so you don't get into trouble with the moderators.
(I agree with you about the bread being unleavened.)
We can only make judgments about what someone does or says. Why do you think someone would say things which aren't true, after they've been shown their error?
Is that just ignorance?
Jesus ripped into the Pharisees that accused Him of sin.
Should he have been polite?
When Jesus said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan", did that rebuke harm Peter, or did it help Peter submit to God's will?
Most Christians get the idea that God's intention is to make us Christ like, but how do people miss His indignation? How do they miss His zeal and strength in the face of His accusers?
More importantly, how does someone repent of their sin if no one tells them that they're sinning?
There's a huge difference between someone sharing their opinion and asserting that their opinion is truth despite disagreement with scripture. The moderators here know the scriptures pretty well and its a shame that they don't step up regularly to moderate arguments that are headed south, but they don't follow every conversation and the nature of an ecumenical site that recognizes cultists as Christian participants, will always be divisive.
I don't need to be here. Those who want to know what I'm preaching, also know how to find me, but staying in one place makes you easier to find. I don't need to minister here. Wherever I go, I find opportunity for ministry and usually with much less resistance.
If I'm not a blessing here, I would much rather shake the dust from my feet and move on. Some of my brothers in Christ have already done just that, and I wouldn't fault them for it. However, I'm no stranger to back biters, frauds, and pretenders. I've known betrayal by those who have eaten at my table and in even these things, I have fellowship with Christ. And yes, fellowship with Christ is the only reason I would tolerate false accusations, evil innuendo, and subversion of the truth.
