Moving on...

... as if the last few days didn't exist.

I did what I felt was necessary to deal with the problems I created. Now I'm backing away from the situation. :-)

Praise the Lord!

I don't think it's coincidental that the day after I made a decision to leave OnlineBaptist, I found a forum site that is WAY more edifying and encouraging to me! :-)

It's located at AV1611.com. There is a lot more Bible discussion and less emotional drama (probably because I haven't seen any women on there yet). Very good site!

All of the food was delicious!

Leaving OB alone for a while

Just so you know, I'm going to not post on OB this week. I just feel like being there is a temptation for carnal discussions, and I'd rather focus on more important things (housework, Bible study, etc.), especially since I have some major decisions to make this week and I'd rather not let OB be a distraction.

Sincerely,

Recipe for a massive explosion

Ingredients:

• 1 Civil opening post containing potentially explosive information
• 2-3 emotionally-charged board members (include at least one moderator)
  
• 2 members who disagree with the majority of the board on this issue

Directions:

1. Wait for a peaceful lag on the board. (A time when no one is debating everything, and the whole place is just calm and undisturbed.)
2. Drop opening post into the Biblical Issues forum (the most heated forum on the board).
3. Heat to boiling.
4. Turn heat down. Simmer, stirring occasionally.

(This is totally meant to be a joke, so please don't be offended by anything in this post. I just felt like making a little humor out of the situation. :-P )

Hatred.

Today, I feel the need to blog about something that's really bothering me right now. It's the hatred that some Christians have toward another brother in Christ. 

I just got back from reading a thread on a forum (many of you know which one I'm talking about, so I won't mention names). The opening post was valid for discussion, and states the information without getting too personally involved. Sure, the poster was biased, but who isn't? I do not fault him for that. I was perfectly find with reading that post. That isn't the problem I wanted to discuss.

As I read further along the thread, some people posted some things that weren't just biased, they were completely hateful. It makes me sick to see anyone say anything so vicious. I just can't handle it. I have the sudden urge to read my Bible and clear this filth out of my head. This is worse than when I saw the comments vile atheists were making on a site where they mock Christians. This is Christians hating a fellow brother in Christ (though they want to believe he's unsaved; therefore, they want him to go to Hell... isn't that sick?). 

Please, anyone who reads this blog, please post something positive and encouraging today. I need to see some Christians say something positive, for a change. I'm sick and tired of hate-filled Christians. :(

Sincerely,

Test post for signature thingy
