Something I have noticed at most message boards is the main thing they have in common is strife. That is true in Christian and secular message boards. They are filled with debates that turn ugly and sinful.
I believe we must stand up for truth, but is it Christlike to spend our time fighting with others when they will not listen? That is one of the problems I have found with message boards as a whole. They create anger. That is not a problem here because we walk in unity, but most are set up to supposedly be inclusive, and when you have multitudes in disagreement, how can you avoid fights?
I am thankful for the good people at Narrow Way Forums who take the Bible seriously and can for the most part get along, but when I visit other message boards, I find everyone at each others throats and I get caught up in it as well. Does this bring glory to God? What are the solutions?
And therein lies the problem my friend . The purpose . Their purpose is the problem .
You see just like most churches have went , so too have most christain boards .
Its the purpose , the goal , the agenda that has become the problem .
What is this problem one might ask .........
THEIR MISSSION is no longer to preach Christ, to preach sound biblical doctrine whereby the church could grow .
Its no longer the mission .
Their mission is now , LETS JUST FIND COMMON GROUND . LETS be ALL INCLUSIVE . LETS be ALL welcoming .
Doctrine is overlooked for the sake of unity .
The mission is now no longer about reaching souls for the true kingdom of GOD
but rather reaching souls for unity in the kingdom of this world .
The goal is to attain reconcilation of the church to the world , man to man . The mission of the gosepl now
is no longer the dire need to believe on Christ . Rather its become a mission of finding common ground and of social justice , of doing good works YET OMITTING the DIRE NEED
to BELIEVE on HE who is GOOD .
To many showing the love of GOD has omitted the one true LOVE of GOD .
Because the truth of the gospel and of certain sound doctrine is OFFENSIVE to many .
The goal has become BE YE INCLUSIVE . And any doctrine that divides , causes offence , IS SEEN as OFFENSE unto them now .
Warnings are seen as offensive . To even read parts of the bible that contain certain sins , IS OFFENSIVE .
As they holler more and more GOD is LOVE . And yet have no idea the love they believe in , IS NOT FROM GOD .
FOR the many have forgotten what CHARITY IS . To them charity simply means , BE ACCEPTING , DO some good works , DO NOT JUDGE .
And do not judge has become the mantra of the land . YET if we examine their DO NOT JUDGE . We will find it is NOT COMPATIBLE TO how we are Supposed to JUDGE .
They forget that . DO not judge , in the bible , MEANT not to condemn one . IT NEVER MEANT NOT TO CORRECT AND REBUKE the church . NOT to expose their sins .
But if you examine those who always holller DO NOT JUDGE you will find out the one thing they have in common .
THEY love sin and do not like sin and error to be spoken against . They want comfort and peace IN THEIR SIN and when anyone comes along
and exposes their sin . No matter how grave or how kind one exposes their sin , ITS ALWAYS DO NOT JUDGE and GOD IS LOVE .
Well now is sin love . DOES charity rejoice IN INQUITY , DOES CHARITY accept and embrace SIN . NO IT DONT .
Charity rejioces IN TRUTH ALONE . not in lies , not in false hope , not in things contrary to GOD and His word and words .
See charity does not rejoice IN INQUITY . Everything is being flipped backwards through the guise of a false love and of a false hope
and of a false reconciliation . The DEVIL is very clever indeed . HE knows how to use words like GOD is love , but beware
for the love he giveth WILL NEVER HONOR GOD . THUS it will never lead one TO GOD . Satan and his doctrine and his leaders , his ministirs doctrine
No matter how kind and caring it can sound , WILL NEVER LEAD a soul to GOD . IT leadeth only to more darkness . TO them believing its GOD they serve and love
WHEN IN truth this love has led them to SATAN who always desired to be as GOD .
And it has begotten ill favoured children of the harlot . Now their minds have become so evil affected against GOD .
That when simple doctrine from the bible , from Christ , from the GOD of that bible is brought to them . THEY Rage against it
and yet holler , JUDGE NOT , JUDGE NOT you hater , GOD IS LOVE . SEEMS TO ME like they hate HIS LOVE , hATE GOD , the Biblical GOD
the biblical Christ . THEY hate true doctrine . Its led them into great darkness .
And far away from the truth which could have saved them . FROM THE GOD , FROM HIS CHRIST who could have SAVED THEM .
NOW WHO DO YOU THINK would come within churches and from WITHIN TURN THEM AGAINST BIBLICAL TRUTH . SATAN DID THIS .
