You know what's not cool? Saying that another member on MN doesn't have "credible faith".

no, it's not cool. many think it but never directly say it, don't they, Josh?
how cool is that?

i appreciate boot began this thread, which is bearing good fruit. (not bitter fruit.)

You pretty much lobbed that at Bootstrap in the other thread.

Sometimes I think we need to give you your own forum - Temporal1Discuss.

Is this a public discussion forum or not?

If not, I'll hold my fire and just not respond to things. But I think it's unhelpful to any kind of productive discussion for one voice to dominate with me then accused of speaking out of turn or speaking on something I shouldn't whenever I try to respond to anything.

I'd be glad to work this out with either PMs or moderators - but my message box sits empty. I pretty much feel like t1 will rejoice on the day I no longer reply here for whatever reason.

if you wish to start a thread on the issue, you may do so. but don't go ruining a good thread with the two of you arguing.

i was hoping that people would be mature enough to not need this thread.
but i guess not.

Are the fruits of one's life consistent with the Truth taught by Christ? It can't be just any truth or any fruit. It has to be fruit that reflects Biblical teaching.

Does one spend all day on forums talking about Faith or does one go out to people in real time and try to bring that Faith into a living reality?

Getting off the forums and limiting time online is a beginning. Using the time gained to put the Bible into practice is a fruit.

You're in the top 5 posters, so this input is a bit rich coming from you.

Bootstrap       195
MaxPC           161

And I don't like the overall passive-aggressive tone of this, implying that some of us don't have fruits consistent with Truth taught by Christ and that we should get off forums and limit time online. Perhaps a better approach would be to start your own thread and explain what you do to limit time spent online.

Why?

Why not?

Not an answer; what is your reason for the photos?

Any type of photos of any of the activities you've talked about here would be welcome. If you like, crop out pictures of people and other easily identifiable things first.

Some of what you say seems a bit fanciful, like saying you hunt for wild turkeys each Thanksgiving. But instead of doubting you, I'd like to give you a chance to share more details and some pictures.
