My Public Apology To All Members And Staff Members On Here

[rockytopva]

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. - Galatians 5

Variance - éris, er'-is; of uncertain affinity; a quarrel, i.e. (by implication) wrangling:—contention, debate, strife, variance.- G2054 - eris - Strong's Greek Lexicon (kjv)

The spirit of variance is to argue and fight. I had a Pentecostal Holiness brother who liked this kind of stuff and when he would pause i would reply, "Spirit of variance! Spirit of variance!" He hated me for saying that and would reply real whiney like... "Spirit of variance! Spirit of variance!"

I can't help it. Spiritual variance is not a good example before others.

Your right. :)
I guess the reason I come here is because I like to talk about the bible. So to me it is a Bible Forum.
But like you say it is for Christian Fellowship.
And what would Christianity be like without Jesus in the center?
:)
Hugs

Sometimes our emotions get the better of us and we need to LEARN how to control our variancing for sure.
Some have a harder time with this than others.
My grandson who is autistic has a real hard time LEARNING not to get overly angry.
He is 19 and when he was little and he didn't get his way, he would bang his head on the kitchen floor.
He has LEARNED over the years how to count to 10 and take deep breaths when he gets angry.
Now he just stomps off flailing his arms in the air shouting out curses from the rooftop.

Patience... and Understanding.

It wouldn't be Christianity at all. But yes there are others here like @Grailhunter, @Devin Wintch, and @Apollard (Sp?) that love Jesus and share most if not of all my same interests as well.

 

[April_Rose]

For some reason I can't tag the last one.

 

[April_Rose]

Oh yeah and I think @Eternally Grateful might as well. :) And @Wrangler.

And while we are in Galatians....

Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. - Galatians 6:1-2

As a moderator I could have good time making it hard on others... But in doing so I find no profit.

To be perfectly honest with you,.. I don't think any member of the staff is like that. At least on this forum. Now on CF.com,.. that's a whole different story. @Michael1985 was the only good one. Unless you moderated there I can't remember,.. but I remember you from there and that wasn't a very pretty or happy or fun place to be I'm afraid.

I get banned there all the time and am on my second warning. I hope they realize that their actions can be hurtful. Not much in the way of mercy and compassion!

Agreed.

I am permanently banned there because to put it simply,.. they hate the truth.

Hey,.. anybody here like country music and want to come to country night?

 

[April_Rose]

Country Night!! :D

 

[Wrangler]

avatar changes are just for the week.

You are avatar fluid.

 

[Raccoon1010]

Well I apologies too if my pet falcon attacked you (see avatar), he's only supposed to attack my n-m-e's, still training him and he gets a little carried away sometimes, so I apologies. Sorry, really sorry.

 

[April_Rose]

You are avatar fluid.

So??

 

[April_Rose]

Oh yeah and @JohnDB likes Harry Potter, Halloween, and magic tricks too. Although, I think he told me that he prefers Easter over Halloween. :)
