Disappointed

[GraceSaved]

For the short time I've been on this site, I have been referred to as a "sipping saint," "relativist," "reformed Calvinist," "ecumenical," "liberal," "professing Christian," and told that I was "marked."

 

For what?  Because I have a mind, an opinion and can express myself?  Because I made comments on a few topics in a short time?  By this, people know who I am, where I came from, where I'm going, how I live my life on a daily basis?  What my struggles are, my fears, temptations, victories.

 

This forum isn't life or church or real community.  You can't "know" people here on a personal level.

you forgot I call you a she

 

One of the reasons I ask about your gender is to know you better.

 

Unless you open up we can only know you by your words.

You don't want to know me better.  You wanted to know my gender to point out if I had a right to post some of the topics I posted.

You don't know my fruits.

knowing your gender is very important in knowing you as a person especially because I can't see you to know the difference.  And by that knowledge I could scripturally address your posts according to your gender.  Because I say things to men differently than to women just a s God's word does.

 

for example I can encourage you to study 2Tim2:15 but I would not encourage you to teach Christian men.  the first is commanded of all the second is commanded only to women like yourself.

Okay, that's enough, AV.  This is a woman telling you to stop hassling GS about gender.  Like it or not.  There is nothing Christian, godly, or even manly about it.

This is not church.  You're not my pastor or spouse.  We're all strangers on a forum posting topics.

This is a virtual gathering or assembling place of the body of Christ, believers whether you or anyone else like it, and this truth will stand at the judgement seat of Christ to which you will give account a to how you built on the foundation of Jesus Christ.  the Church your referring to is a building or organization, however the body of Christ is not a building or organization it is a spiritual Body that surpasses walls and time.  So wherever the Body of Christ comes together it is an assembly of believers.  you don't have to agree but it is a truth. Just because they didn't have Internet in Paul's day doesn't mean God didn't speak on the assembly of believers over the Internet.

You have no authority over me.

We're not "together."  Anyone can come here Christian or not.

oh just like a church building where Christians and non Christians can come together.

I never claimed any authority over you.  But you do believe the word of God has authority over you don't you?

[AVBibleBeliever]

I will stop now on this subject.

 

I only teasingly said that I called GS a she because of her disappointed thread.  Which by her replies I know without a shadow of a doubt GraceSaved is a female.

 

be blessed and don't let the sun go down on your anger.

Of course. The mods on this forum have authority, which you seem to be undermining, because you continue to want to point out my gender and stifle my style of posting topics as teaching to Christian men.  Although this is primarily an IFB site, I am not IFB and do not submit to IFB teachings.
