Not The Lords Works

You may want to double check that!  

Reba apologized to you.  



All the other little jabs and jibes you've taken at me have probably scarred me for life; but I'll try to get by!  

No little Jabs or Jibes there Sincere Heart...

You would have shown wisdom in just replying the *Fact* that the welcome which I received is not one that is accustomed to Christian Offering...Instead you seem to just abuse the situation by showing your lack of knowledge...

Please continue though, there are a few interested parties here that are as eager as myself to see what might come out of your thoughts next...

The situation as such, should never have happened. Apologizing to me or anyone who might have to feel that the issue is acceptable is not the point here..The point is, I'm very certain Reba will with caution and insight approach the next newcomer be that Aged or Not So Aged Christian..

Do yourself a favor here Sincere, don't type anymore candy coating, you're embarrassing yourself...As for me, it's not that important, once this issue is completed, as I said, I'll be leaving   Pale

You know Pale..... It's a strange thing to walk into someone's home and try to 'get' what's going on. Most will try to welcome you by jumping right in and being playful, the way that had been; as if you're a member of the family. But if you're too quick to jump to conclusions (we don't want to say 'judging', now do we?) then you might just jump to the wrong conclusion.   Personally, I prefer when I'm not treated as a 'guest'....


PS...Quite possibly Reba has learned a lesson from this, for the next New Member that dawns this site...All we can do is hope

Let's hope that YOU have learned something! So as you jump from site to site we can hope that YOU learn to take enough time to get to know posters before YOU jump to a conclusion (i.e. judge). Don't walk into another's home and try to tell them how you should be welcomed!

But then again, that's not what's really bothering you, is it? I'd take a guess that it has to do with the general consensus on something else....

Well your Consensus would be part of your mindset I suggest, whatever that may be

Again I say, being called a Liar or Crazy as a first time welcoming is not acceptable behaviour...I would not advise my Children to do it, nor do I advise others to do it, yet it seems by your non-chalante' attitude towards the matter that you might and do share this type of advice...*Quite Obviously*..

I have learned nothing from this incident that I do not already know....I pray you have learned also, *This Manner Of Speech and Welcome* is not an acceptable comment for any Christian to offer...If you believe it is, as I said before *That Is Your Peorgative*...Not The Lords Works Pale

Very gracious, Reba! I had read the referred to post and I took it to be a joke. Tongue-in-cheek..... Actually, I laughed! So I wouldn't have judged it to be aggressive or unrighteous....

But this is a good point:
I never judge anyone, their own actions judge.
That says a lot  

Well, I don't know you nor do I choose to know you. I've seen enough here that discernment be my guide.

I would expect being called a Liar or Mentally Ill in a secular forum, yet hardly the type of Welcome I would expect from a Christian Forum!

Sincere Heart, you may coat the situation with any manner of *Joke/Fun* that you like, hardly the type of salutation I would want anyone I know to project......But!!...That's you're perogative

Lord Bless Pale

Sorry i offended you Pale. I was totally impressed by our home.  Very neat and clean.

Had you greated me as i did you i would have completey understood.   The pictures are there anyone can see the place is neat as a pin.  Maybe it is a touchy subject for you please dont judge the others here by me  most often i am the odd man out.

I never judge anyone, their own actions judge.

Lord Bless Reba....

Nice meeting all of you folks, I'll be leaving now Pale

I'm going to elaborate on this somewhat, as to the aggression factor..

Reba, this is the very first comment you made to me on this board. I came in here speaking of my Chrisitanity, showed a picture of my Home, explaining that I keep it clean as my wife is working and I am off for a cpl of months. I then went into a bit of my music ministry to illustrate a question that Whitehorse had asked me..Etc Etc!!

Again I say to you..You neither welcomed me, nor did you say anything other than this...

 This  MUST be a lie, or you are a very sick person.... no   ones computer desk is this neat.....

Reba..We will know each other by our spirit,works and the fruit we bear by our Lord...

I believe Wisdom and Knowledge to be the best offence toward any unrighteous situation, not aggression..

Thanks Reba Pale

I'm new here myself Ananda. It's good to see you getting involved.

Lord Bless and Welcome Pale

Well, "good men and good women" can certainly make a difference.

My letter of complaint against this "defining of marriage" in my province is only one letter....little good it may do. But if every christian who is against this sends in one little letter, each one of those grains of discontent can build into a mountain.

If we only had a "mustard seed" of faith, what could we do with that mountain?

Gracey

Well Gracey....We could move that mountain....

You have a pleasant manner about you. I see no animosity in your words....There is a Great difference in righteous justice and contemptuous disarray...

*Quote*...On the front of the shirt, I printed in giant letters HOMOSEXUALITY  IS  A  SIN  Underneath that I put, Choose Life, Repent, Change and God Loves You in various places.
On the back of the shirt I wrote GAY ‘MARRIAGE’ WILL NEVER BE LEGAL IN GOD’S EYES  -  NEVER  EVER        WAKE  UP
I varied the sizes of the lettering for effect and  colored in some of the letters in the colors of the rainbow and drew a couple of those on there as well.

Then I wore my shirt to some busy places. and into busy stores (without a coat over it!) From people’s response so far, I would say it is a success. Jaws drop...EndQuote*

I see nothing good coming from Wearing a T-Shirt exclaiming our beliefs into a crowd of possible volatile people,*One Way Or The Other*..I believe it would cause more grief than good...Like running up and whacking someone with a bible, IMO it would have a similar reprocusion..Have a Good One..!

My prayers are with you Pale

I'll agree with the most of your statement....Pastoral involvement, Christians in public office..Standing up for the righteous conviction.

I don't quite understand the *Teddy Bear*, or behind women..Issue.. ......?? Pale

Terrybear love...
 Teddybear love is always soft cuddly what we would call huggable.  God has told us He is a jealous God He gets angry.  A teddybear god would not have sent the five to sodom. Yet God is love...and always Godly

Males will hid behind women saying things like ' its not my place to  speak out on abortion i am male.    a differerent story...  my wife wont let me....

OK...I understand you're meaning now..

Personally,I offer my wife continuous *Teddy Bear* love..LOL!!

I guess your right,*Some Males* will hide behind all manner of obstruction....Female, Employment, Addictions....Etc,Etc..

Thanks for the clarification Reba Pale

Pale,





stop hiding
    behind 'teddy bear' love
    behind women
   
Some small ideas  Pale  but i believe in being active in the place God has placed us.

I'll agree with the most of your statement....Pastoral involvement, Christians in public office..Standing up for the righteous conviction.

I don't quite understand the *Teddy Bear*, or behind women..Issue.. ......?? Pale

...Oh, PaleRider, I can't Believe You Said That!!??  


What about what like onestarfisher, is talkinhg  about here...??

Then I'll ask again Symphony...What would you suggest *Good Men* do about this situation..?? Pale

I need one cuz so  i wont have to act like a grown-up.

...... Gotcha, Ok. Pale

Agree Gracey,  

Its a sad day when good men do nothing.

What would you suggest *Good Men* do there Reba..??

Pale

Websters Says:

Used to express mild surprise or delight.
[Alteration of God.]

 Pale


Yes, an indirect reference to God.  That's what I kinda thot.

Whitehorse raises a perfect question.  Just EXACTLY what IS a "gosh"?

Everyone certainly seems to have one...    


ANd yes, Reba, that's how I recall it.    

Well....I don't think I'll spend a great deal of time concerning about a *Gosh*...LOL!!

You folks G'Head though. I'll just watch....I'd suggest using *Golly Gee*, but someone might think you're related to Gomer Pyle... Pale

Why would anyone need an ignore button...??

I've never understood the Need for one..?? Pale

In the 1950's  "My Gosh" resulted in soap in the mouth...

LOL!!....Ivory?? Pale
