That didn't take long.

Re: War in Gaza
But if you want everyone to know your compassion and concern for the people of Gaza, I think talking about those things in this thread would be a great way to make that obvious to everyone. Clearly, openly demonstrating the way Christians should respond to these kinds of situations, showing the con...

Re: War in Gaza
Of course it assumes something in particular about the people who post. Posts can't pray, people do. To suggest that one can separate the posts from the people who write them seems like an exercise in futility. I'm less willing than you are to judge other people's hearts. But I think it's easy to a...

Re: War in Gaza
I think I explained that: This again seems to be assuming a lot about the things people post. You seem to be suggesting that what people write on MN causes them not to pray like they should, have compassion like they should or help as they should. That seems a lot like judging their inner being or ...

Re: Calling people evil or demonic
This thread was, in fact, motivated by things that you said that seemed out of keeping with my understanding of biblical teaching on Christian speech. I also chose not to mention you or to single you out, and to focus on what Scripture teaches. I also chose to ask it as a question and get various p...

Re: War in Gaza
Then I can't understand why you you wrote those 5 points. I think I explained that: All of this, I think, draws away from any prayer, compassion, or questions of how to help. Posts that do that are quickly drowned out. I don't think every Christian is called to be involved in every tragedy, but on ...

Re: Calling people evil or demonic
I'm doing my best to not make this thread about you. As I said, in my opinion, the timing when the thread was started would suggest otherwise. And my mind will not be changed on that. The thread was started right after I said something about president that seemed to offend some. This thread was, in...

Re: War in Gaza
Not one of those things is a statement about motive. Each is a characterization of the response itself. Do these responses express compassion for victims, or do they turn away from compassion? Whatever the motives, I don't see a lot of posts expressing compassion for people in Gaza. When I post som...
