Some People?

[DaveW]

Why is it that some people always read the worst from any post someone puts up?

Even if it is not there?

Maybe he's a the glass is half empty kind of guy?

[OLD fashioned preacher]

Dear Optimist and Pessimist:

 

While the two of you argued over whether the glass was half full or half empty ------- I drank the water.

 

Sincerely Yours,

 

Realist.

[John81]

I have some in my family which look for any occasion to find fault, argue, take things the wrong way and turn it into combat.

 

In my situation I pray the Lord will soften their hearts because they are hardened to the Truth. They don't want to hear about "religion" because of all the Christians they know who are hypocrites, act just like the lost, put on airs for Sunday but play the wicked fool the other six days, and that sort of thing.

 

Sad to say, some of them have also been misled as to how one gets to heaven so they have a false sense of security they will go there. Others don't believe in God, heaven and hell; while some have very distorted views of all these.

 

Sadly, the one thing they are so very good at is looking for occasion to argue and then arguing over everything as if it's of utmost importance.

How did you hijack or kidnap my entire family, John?!

We must be related John!  I have those exact same folks in my family too!

Being prone to contentiousness is a prerequisite to being Baptist.

Being prone to contentiousness is a prerequisite to being Baptist.

That's a commonly held belief among some, including some Baptists!

[Miss Daisy]

ok, we have enough on here slamming Baptists, we don't need the Baptists doing it too!

How many Baptist's does it take to change a light bulb?  6!  One to do the job and 5 to form the committee to decide who is going to make the fried chicken and potato salad for the event.

[GraceSaved]

You guys slam each other.  No one else needs to.

In my local church one would change the light bulb and the other five would make fried chicken, collard greens, macaroni and cheese, corn bread and apple pie.  And the guy who changed the bulb would pour the sweet tea!

One - the preacher. ...

That is after he has changed the washer on the tap, oiled the hinges, and mowed the lawn.
