Really quick one, so not too hard on me please! ;DWe meet each day at this board Each logging in of our own accord To discuss the Christ and Holy Father But the very topic seems too much bother
For all we do here is bicker and fight Somehow I don't think this can be right... I wound you,so you wound me back Why not,instead, cut one another some slack?
Would God, looking down, from up above See anything here that's of His love? We He approve of our catty replies Or the many vicious, hurtful lies?
My stubborn pride and I seem to be H@llbent in the vicious circle of attack,go back, repent... God doesn't love you any less than me What will it take until we all can see...
That even the furthest of us apart Can agree that most important is each heart With God's grace it turns from sin and shame To edify our souls and uplift His name...
Worship as you wish, and I'll do the same Let's just concentrate on glorifying his name I'll be right with God in my own way And we'll all live to *discuss another day.

Obviously somebody doesn't see the point in promoting Christ and sees it as just a bunch of arguing. Brad

A couple things...
"Would God, looking down, from up above See anything here that's of His love?"
Yes, He would...those Christian posters teaching other non-Christians what the love of God really is, to inform those who have the wrong view of God; the wrong perspective (my word of the day) on things, more-so from a 'cultish', self-righteousness point of view instead of a God-centered point of view.
"in the vicious cicle [circle] of attack,go back, repent..."
Go back to what?, the 2x2 way?, the way that thinks its the only way, forgetting to include Christ as the risen Lord and Savior (Romans 10:9 ...confess that Jesus is LORD (GOD)). Although you have something right...REPENT. Salvation only come from repentance and faith, saved by grace thru faith alone!
"Worship as you wish, and I'll do the same, Let's just concentrate on glorifying his name"
NO...we must worship God in Spirit and in Truth, worship Jesus as He is worshiped (commandment #1, God is the only one we should worship - Jesus is who we worship).
"I'll be right with God in my own way, And we'll all live to *discuss another day."
NO...read the book of Judges...the people evil continually, did what was right in their own eyes - it is a danger to 'be right with God in your own way' - that's saying that every path leads to God, every 'form' of worship is 'right', every religion will eventually get to God. WRONG!! This is relativism = where everything is relative to each persons idea to what is right = what's true for you is true for you, and what's true for me is true for me, just agree to disagree, and be on your way. WRONG!!! This is the anti-Christ talking, not a true believer of the Word and Truth of God, who is JESUS.
Serving a different jesus, an un-Biblical Jesus, is not worshiping the Jesus who is mentioned in the Bible.
"Examine yourselves, to see if you are in the Truth (Faith)." Read the Bible as it is written, without your own pre-conditioning, and "what the workers want you to know about the Bible".

Well, glad you read the poem, but I have to acknowledge a couple of things you wrote. The attack, go back, repent, was NOT in reference go going back to the 2x2 way, which I assume is possibly what set you off. What I meant (and obviously didn't make clear enough, was MY spirit on this board. I attack people for what they say, I then go back (or take it back I should say, and repent from the attack...I usually apologize...that is, if I'm sorry and I was out of line). I hope that clears that part up. As for the rest...I stand with what I wrote. I will worship how I like. I possibly didn't make that clear enough either. I meant, you can worship at home, in a church, in MEETINGS. It doesn't matter to me, but let's just get along on this board. I did not mean, as I do not BELIEVE this, that anyone should just do as they wish. Not at all. I'll be right with God in my own way also does not refer to things we should/should not do but rather the way we worship, similar to what I just described. If I want to go to meetings (and I don't currently) then I will, and if you want to go to a Baptist church, or whatever other type, then go. We will have to disagree that all must be brought away from the cult, as I don't believe the 2x2 way is a cult, and nothing you will say is going to change my mind on that. This was just supposed to be an uplifting poem about us all coming together, not something to scrutinize overmuch. I wrote it in about 10 minutes, after all. A FEEL GOOD poem was the point. Mich. PS..and ty, Wings. That was very sweet....I don't even remotely think I'm some great poetess...it's just been a good way for me to vent my feelings over the years. M.

M. i understood you 100% wannabee..... i guess some people are just different.... i'm glad you mess up, and get mad at people wannabee...i don't mean it like that, but that i'm glad i'm not the only one.... its too late for me on this board.... and i am tired of trying... when i was trying my best, nobody even noticed..... i'm done trying.... let them all hate me..... rumpy pumpy it...

alright, ya, we all have different reasons for posting here, many backgrounds and experiences of us who have left, have beefs about the way it is still going on, where people seem oblivious to the truth of God, and don't really care to know more about Jesus.
words that some people post have many different meanings, depending on who reads it, based on the experiences we have each gone thru.
I will try to decipher the content of future posts with more clarity.

wanttobewithgod,
I enjoyed your poem and understood your point. And every now and then, we need the peacemakers to remind us of the bigger picture than the current discussion (or mood) that we might be in.
Good post M.
