Godliness with contentment is great gain.
I don't see much contentment here(on this Board) so does this mean there is no Godliness?

However, I am not content to be quiet about the church in which I was raised continuing to mislead my family, friends, and others! The prophets of old, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, etc. had plenty to say to the house of Israel and the house of Judah about things they were doing that just weren't correct, and trying to get them to change their ways. Would you say they weren't content and Godly? Best regards, Edy

You bring up a great point Edy- our contentment is in Him, and His discontent for liars, oppressors, evil, the enemy, etc., is in us.
As the body of Christ, believers are moved to move against these things. It is not justification for just "any" action, biut it moves us to pray, learn and act as called and enabled by Him.
If you are content while living in the world, then maybe this is your home.

The post that started this thread is, most likely, yet another written by one of the many Truth-System-Apologists who despise this board because it permits the free and open exchange of thoughts and ideas with regard to their system. They hate anything that allows public scrutiny of their system and this board is no exception.
These people believe that Internet websites that discuss the Truth are one of Satan's most powerful tools in deceiving God's own elect. They will do whatever they can, which frankly isn't much, to combat these websites. They act believing that they are defending the Kingdom of God and working against Satan.
I used to be one of these people so I know how they think. I pity them.
