I have no problem with those who post a contrary viewpoint. I find it a challenge when Bible believing Christians disagree with me, & I examine the Scriptures & links to test their validity. They give us an opportunity to think through our position against contrary reasoning. Some of us only know the arguments in favour of our own position.

I get the impression that Bobby & myself are treated as trouble makers, but surely we are all capable of defending our faith without taking offence, or of ignoring a post. Some posters show a level of ignorance, & it is appropriate to teach such in humility. If they take offence, they have a problem.

I think you will find Bobby & I post our own reasoning, rather than links to others, though occasional links are necessary to avoid excessively long posts.

I would not want to continue in a forum where only frivolous postings are appreciated, & serious postings result in hostility rather than reasoned discussion.

Cov, I cannot disagree with anything you have written above. At the risk of embarrassing you I will confess that after reading as a guest for a while I joined KTF because of several posts you had made.

Oh excellent, you haven't gone and, by the look of it, neither has jtheb. I hope Elaine doesn't go either.

No I am not going, only withdrawing from that thread.

We are all on different levels of understanding,
different backgrounds/eperiences/baggage.
Don't be afraid to talk.

The Lord deals with us,He moulds and shapes us,not men.

Some have health problems,some have other problems,all of us have good/bad days. Icon_th_6

I too was confused by that Crystal, but then confusion is becoming a permanent state now-a-days for me.... Icon_wink

Good,
not good that you are in a permanent state of confusion but that it wasn't just me. I know I get the wrong end of the stick sometimes so I thought maybe it was only me.

Thanks for that Cov I had not understood what you meant but now I understand.
I am glad that you realise that there is a place for you here, fellowship is so important. I know that prayer is but when you are out of fellowship prayer life seems to go.
Just so you know you are appreciated here Icon_hugginsmileys_753
