While I don't have any personal animosity towards Trump supporters- being called Unloving Illuminati Rothschild Liars who are bound for Hell, doesn't exactly help one cultivate a kindly view of the DT crowd! Not an excuse for incivility and returning tit for tat- but understandably irritating nonetheless!  I think, at the end of the day, most of us here simply wish to do what we feel is best for both our conscience and our country and it is always best to keep this thought in view while disagreeing. After all, there won't be a TC crowd or a DT crowd "In the Sweet, Bye and Bye"! Blessings on your day! |

You're welcome, and thank you for your gracious reply! I understood you were talking long term and the things I mentioned about Lurker happened over the last three months. It may, indeed, be others pushing him. However, the circumstances of some of them make me wonder if it isn't the message more than the messenger. Either way, I personally much prefer it when both sides simply defend their own positions, ask good questions, and answer people civilly. I don't mind if we disagree in the end, I just like to understand what Scripture says, the other side's position, and how they came to those conclusions! Have a Blessed Evening! |

"I've never known Lurker to add anyone to an ignore list, so what does that say about those he has?". About 85%-90% of what BibleSays has posted has been just Scripture and was not mean or snarky in any way. Geff has at times said things in ways I would not- but how many times does he have to apologize and how many times does he have to be accused of adopting totally different styles with totally different IP addresses? JayJay has only posted short statements from time to time, nothing that could be called un-civil. Lurker on the other hand, has called people on here "fanatics", told them to "sing louder" like the Christians who ignored the Holocaust, ignored valid questions about his stances, and has assumed that other people can not reach his level of Scripture comprehension. And while he has apologized for some of that to me, I've yet to see him apologize for the things he has said about others. I'm not saying he's terrible- just that I think there is a double standard here. I honestly think that like most mortals, he is suseptible to pride, and occasionally it shows. I for one, did take the time to just watch these threads for over a year before I posted, and I have tried to be kind and courteous while disagreeing with people. I agree with your last |

"Political activism is a Christian's duty to God?"
Not always, but at times, yes. First, every "duty" a Christian takes up should be done to the Glory of God. (1Cor. 10:31) Second, I believe the blessings and the abilities God gives us carry responsibilities. (Matt. 25:14-30) Of course, not everyone has the same abilities and opportunities, and therefore, everyone's duties are different. If I see a fire starting and I have the ability to put it out- that is my duty. But if a 3 story building is totally engulfed in flames my duty is to call in the people with the ability to put it out- not run around with a garden hose! Right now I have the time, the free phone minutes, and the "gift of gab" to make some calls for Cruz in my area. I do not, however, have the time or resources to run his campaign! If something is within God's definition of rightness, within my abilities, fights evil, and can be accomplished without detriment to my other responsibilities- than I personally tend to view that as a duty FOR MYSELF. Everyone else has to determine their duty for themselves- only they know their circumstances. ... |
