Hi -
Scriptures are from the King James Holy Bible.
Hi -
There's NOTHING wrong with vigorous disagreements AS LONG AS LOVE IS IN
THE MIX. In the King James Holy Bible, we read some of what Jesus
expressed, such as:
John 8:44 - Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do . . ."
John 8:24 - . . . ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
John 8:55 - Yet ye have not known him: but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: . . .

Jesus is the epitome of love -- yet he uttered those bold truth words
that surely "cut" to the hearts of those who heard him. And let's not
forget that Jesus was crucified for expressing truth.
It
concerns me that some folks come on here who are so EASILY offended by
disagreements -- some vigorous disagreements and some milder in
"discussion." Then some folks comment and say stuff like the love isn't
flowing. I refer back to the words of Jesus shown above. Was the love
flowing from Jesus when he uttered those truths?
Truth isn't always comfortable, but surely necessary. Love has various components . . .
Now, I can understand if baby Christians are easily offended. They're
on milk diets until . . . -- and may or may not move forth to meat
diets. But the other easily offended VETERAN folks are religious . . .
NOT authentically born again?
Truly meat-living, Christ-dwelling Christians aren't thin skinned -- prone to pout modes with whining dispositions.
Yes, we're all flawed and need to correct, and to be corrected. But for
some, it's time to grow up and to put away childish things . . .
Can veteran folks REALLY be steadfastly Christ-dwelling --
AUTHENTICALLY born again -- AND be thin skinned and easily offended --
or are such -- religious -- in the mode of Pharisees?

Matthew 13:21
Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word by and by he is offended.
Matthews 15:12
Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
Matthew 11:6
And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
