You are now the one making a judgement without knowing the context of the statement. We have a Jim here and we have a Bob here. I was talking to Jim not Bob, not you or TWalker. The implication of two/one is in reference to a troll that has been bothering us for a very long time.

You must admit that when two people with similar viewpoints (supporting the ACLU) arrive here at the exact same time and going to the exact same thread for their very first post is quite suspicious. Especially when we have had a person doing this exact same thing, on the exact same subject, time and time again. This person also used both UK and US info, all of it fictitious.

I stand corrected, and I apologize for my judgment.  I DID indeed think you were talking about my wife and I; I had no idea you'all were dealing with trolls last night.

Sincerely,

Dan Walker

You really shouldn't try to confuse this thread with a Bible study, as there is no comparison.

A fairly close comparison would be the three stooges discussing politics. Add some pie tossing and it would be perfect. After all, isn't that what you came for?

Hmm...

Are you advocating that there are contexts (ie. this message thread) where a Christian does not have to behave like a Christian but can instead resort to behavior which is questionable Christian behavior and, according to this site's own policies, could resort to being banned from this site?

Also, I believe my previous post to this one has clarified my motives for coming here.

Sincerely,

Dan Walker

[Is this the first Christian forum you've tried to do ACLU recruiting on?]

 

Together again - what a mystery.

Wow! - It's beyond comprehension how the folks on a Christian forum might think it was odd and hilarious that three people at once have a one-track mind on the ACLU.

UM?? - Together now twice. Gee, I can't figure this out. Did you really think that you could gang up and maybe sign us all up as card carrying members of the ACLU?    How the 1, 2, or 3 of you might or might not be related is really a moot issue. This is one of the funniest things that's happened here in a long time, so thanks for the laughs.

I do have one question that I would sincerely appreciate an answer for:  Is this the first Christian forum you've tried to do ACLU recruiting on? This would probably make for a great sitcom.

Amazing!  

A.  I, Dan Walker (DWalker), have not stated ANYTHING about the ACLU...  period.  I am not a member of the ACLU.  My only reason for signing up and posting on here to begin with was to clear up my wife's identity.  

B.  How is this a mystery that my wife and I are on at the same time?  Like many folks in regards to TV sets, we have more than one computer in our house that are able to connect to the internet at the same time.  My wife was on her laptop at the breakfast bar; I'm on my PC in my home office.  

C.  I thought by now that, after basically revealing all the information about our online identity, that the "mystery" would've been solved.  

D.  I admit, my motives have changed a bit, as I am now seriously questioning the "Christian maturity" of some of the members on this board, and I DO mean this in the same spirit as the Apostle Paul when he said:

I Corinthians 3:1-3:

   1 And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to infants in Christ.

   2 I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able,

   3 for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like mere men?

E.  As for mysteries, perhaps your efforts would be better suited to focusing on a REAL mystery, a mystery that can have life-changing effects, rather than this psuedo-mystery that you have created in your imagination:

Colossians 1:27:

 27 to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Sincerely,

Dan Walker

My intent was not to "blast" you but to give some friendly advice as to "what not to say". People can have opposing views without belittling others...

Goodnight Jim Bob. Oh thats right thats two separate people on this forum.  

Pastor Roger,

I am a bit surprised that someone in your position would contradict himself so quickly and, worse yet, participate in this kind of ridicule.

I'm sorry, but since the time I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord & Saviour on May 25, 1992, I have rarely seen a Pastor stray into this kind of behavior and, when they did, they were quick to correct it.  

Perhaps you were tempted/lured in by all of the other posts/suspicions, perhaps it's because it was late on a Friday evening, I understand how folks like to "wind down" or "have a little fun" when the week's work is done (M-F cultural thing, not like our work is EVER really DONE).

In any case, do you stand by your first piece of advice given to my wife OR should we instead use your later example (which I think was actually just a continuation of the down-hill slide started by others)?

Sincerely,

Dan Walker

P.S. I:  Hey, I'm actually a very easy person to get along with, and I DO understand how these kinds of things degenerate and build up walls between people.  I hope this gets cleared up so we might have better dialogues/understandings in the future.

P.S. II:  Martin Luther really knew how to party!  I really love his teachings on the Letter to the Galatians!  Yes, he also sometimes fell into doing/saying things that were probably not of the Spirit as well (some from hearsay, some from his own writings).  So, if the credited originator of the Protestant Reformation could fall into walking in the flesh (I'm not saying he did necessarily, only God really knew his heart)...

[*spew*]

They would have to be two separate people because they have the SAME IP.

       

Split personalities?    

Or are they

Maybe it's a new fitness craze.  They were WALKERS, you know!

*spew*

So much for that cup of coffee!

DWalker TWalker Twins separted at birth?

Hmm...  Now I realize that this may totally be a lost cause.  I went to report this post to the Moderator and, behold!, this person IS a Global Moderator!  Great.

Mocking people?  Making fun of people?  Is this Christian behavior?  Is this the fruit of the Spirit?  Is this walking in the Spirit and not in the flesh?  I do not think so.

This concerns me much more than any of these "Entertainment" topics combined, that is, that in "real life", so many Christians fall away from the teachings of Jesus and the Apostles.

Not to stray too far off topic, but I've seen this kind of thing in so many groups and Bible Study sessions where, sometimes after just reading an obvious passage straight out of the NT that relates to an issue at hand, good Christian folks will fall almost immediately back into the ways of the World and say, "Heh heh.  Did you hear about so and so?  Boy, I think they're [insert nasty comment here]!", or "But, so and so really deserves my anger!", or "Didn't you hear what so and so did?  Let me tell you, [insert slander here].", etc., etc.  

Sad, but it happens.  I understand that.  I really do.  But, PLEASE, even when you're on a portion of a site like this that is in "fun", I would ask you to ask yourself one question:  "What Would Jesus Do?"  Then post accordingly.  (WWJD - Awesome practice that, unfortunately for some, has become nothing more than a cool bumper sticker to put on their car/clothing...  nothing more...)  

Sincerely,

Dan Walker
