That would be a sad thing to allow to enter into the Church. Political agendas do not beling in the Church.
I do however find thatthe Word of God tells us more often to be loving and kind, to others. I do know there is a place where the Word says to be done with someone and not dangle our pearl before the swine. That was however the exception and not the rule.
Matthew 22:36-40
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law.
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And second is like unto it, thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Again, I do realize there is a place we are to no longer entertain the foolish of heart and the ones who are not adhereing to the wooing of the Lord. I realize ther eis a place to let go of a reprobates hand and no longer try to guide them. It changes not my love and desire to see them changed.
So many of the arguements on these threads have been to win a battle. What good doe sit do to win a battle and lose the soul? I am init for the soul not the battle. If through a battle a portion of scriputre can be absorbed, planted, watered and prepared untoi harvest I wil lcontinue until the Lord through the Holy Ghost tells me not to.
If we would all adhere to the discerning of the Holy Ghost in us there would not be any ugly, threatening, taunting less than loving posts on here. There may even be progress made.
God Bless
