I like the fellowship. I like helping others. I am currious about many things and so seek the truth of them. I like debating. Pehaps a little of everything you said plus some applies to me.
You can learn the truth as one man sharpens another as one piece of iron sharpens another. I believe that is a proverb but my memory is far from the best.
Kerwin, Iron sharpens Iron
I was only here to help.
Then I got mixed in with the debates etc. Hmmmm
Its good to hear you enjoy all of that.
Im here for people I know, debating and 'searching for truth' isnt really my thing.
Iv done that, which is how I arrived to what I believe..which is the same as what this site is about, the only difference in me and the rest here is I cant defend what I believe here as well as them, but i have no need to change anything I believe. Not that I can see anyway ? I was OK with what I believed.Quote (kerwin @ Nov. 19 2010,15:44) Shimmer, I like the fellowship. I like helping others.

Hi Kerwin,Prob.27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
Eccl.10:10: If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must
he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.Your brother in
Christ, Jesus!

kerwinyour theory is only true if both have steel swords
but if one as a wooden one this will not work

If one is wood, then it is called "whittling", no?
And we keep whittling away at false doctrines, don't we Pierre? 
peace and love,

Mikethis is a new word to me,whittling.
but yes ,it seems people like to run before they can walk,
they like to know all about the scriptures but not willingly to read the scriptures so to know what s in it ,
and even then they still argue
Christ love

Haven't read all the posts but it seems ridiculous that there is need for this. Nobody on this earth has full complete knowledge of God or the inner workings of Heaven. If we tear people down for not sharing our personal opinion, whose team are we playing for? We believers are to be one as Messiah and the Father are one- so who's plan are we advancing when we act destructive toward each other? Hmm… if we were standing in front of Messiah how would we account for this behavior. "Well, I had lots of knowledge and people needed to be told what I thought about every issue and they needed to know that they were wrong!" Let's not focus on being "right", rather being "right with Him." The only thing that counts is faith working through love

shaniayou could be right ,but you have to understand the discussions that are going on for a year,and so some times it is good to push,
Paul did this as well we do not do those things out of mischief,but it is to kind of shake the dirt off.
truth can be presented in various ways.Pierre
Shimmer,
Always look to God to reveal the truth to you as sometimes when you think you are standing firm in the truth you are being deceived. Look to God's nature top confirm what you believe but do not be deceived by Satan's scheemes pretending to be God's nature such as false compassion and a desire for peace at all costs. These are a test for many. Other tests also exist.
This is why I believe debate can be an aid even when we think we are standing firm. Debate also tests our character as well as possibly revealing blind spots in what we believe.
There are items that we debate here that seem to have no bearing on the issue of salvation and about which it does not really care what we believe as long as we do not sin in why we believe what we do.
all
well it seems that i have bad habit of defensing some of the members on the site and for this i publicly apologies,and this is not admissible and will try to curb that behavior.
so i am very sorry for the pain i have caused ,so please forgive me in a Christian way of love.
Pierre

Amen to that Shania, I agree.And "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
If people dont go to a church, though they are believers, they do need to talk.
Jesus said "where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them."
However this type of gathering should be to build each other up.
Hurting another believer though is not good. We will have to answer for that." Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he was thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck."
And BTW as I said in some other threads, if I dont reply to any replies here, dont worry its just my computer wont be here for a while. So dont think im snobbing anyone ok.
Quote (mikeboll64 @ Aug. 05 2010,13:28) Hi All, It seems to me and some others that certain behaviors on HN have been tolerated for too long. Some of the things we say to, and about each other are anything but Christian; and some people even downright lie about another. I, for one would like to see this behavior curbed.
I think we sometimes forget that we have non-members reading our posts – some of them maybe on the verge of giving their lives over to God and His Christ. Let's not scare them off with our poor behavior and mean spirited posts.
I'm not talking about the occasional "you're an idiot" stuff……although that is definitely not Christian behavior either. I'm talking about the posts that actually border on hate. I'm talking about people claiming something about another member that isn't even close to being true. This includes twisting someone's words.
This is what I propose: If you have had someone post something hateful or untrue about you or your beliefs, bring it up here in this thread. Paste what was said about you and by whom. That person can either:
1. Defend themselves by explaining and showing proof that what they posted was not a lie or a twisting of your words.
2. Appeal their case to the moderators that the "hateful" thing they said should not be considered "crossing the line" due to the circumstances involved. (A moderator will then decide if a warning block is required or not.)
3. Publicly apologize for the offense directly to you on this thread to avoid a warning block.
4. Ignore your post and automatically receive a warning block from a moderator.
Together, we can make HeavenNet a place where Christians act and post with love and respect for each other, despite the occasional good natured ribbing or sarcasm.
peace and love,
mike
Greetings Mik….. Is that a glass house that you live in…I would think that throwing stones at others would not be prudent….We are all created equally and fall short of the glory,the toleration of any form of demeaning behavior is not becoming, and that includes lofty,condesending responses to fellow members of a
the forum… whose purpose is to enlighten and share… not rebuke…so in the final analysis I would have agree there is no need for such behavior….Here is somthing to contmplate and build your temple on:
"We were created in the image of God, but do we create God in our image? Through an attempt to define your God, you box God in, and by doing so, you box yourself in. The image you have created and thereby are created by, is that of limitation. If the Source of something is perfect, would not the creation of that Source also be? Let go of the misconception that you are less than you are, don't go through life, but LIVE life." God bless all, TK

Greetings right back at you Theo,I have answered you accusation of "lofty", "condescending" and "authoritarian" in the "Bodies" thread. I have been awaiting your response.
