Or speaking out of turn & lashing out at others.. Is that me being judgemental? I don't think it is but I'm not quite sure exactly where you draw the line. Some people who label themselves Christain!! - are just so rude! Is the fact that I am acknowledging that "bad" on my part? And this question was actually inspired by someone on here who was going out of their way to be really rude to me personally. So it got me thinking... I can forgive him don't get me wrong, because I realize he is simply ignorant & very bitter-

    Personally, I don't take kindly to bring corrected by my peers, they are my peers after all. Now if you're my grandma, mom, or dad, go ahead fuss away!!! If someone on EP is being belligerent towards you block 'em, delete 'em, ignore 'em! That's the glory of online community! (just my opinion of course)

    Actually, the Bible is quiet against rude and arrogant behavior. Throughout its pages, there are many references to rude, belligerent, and awful people. However, even Jesus was rude and belligerent at times. He however would do this lovingly, chasing the money changers out of the temple and chastising people for their dysfunction. He gave he Pharisees tons of grief. He did this because what they did was wrong. It's OK to point out someone's fault. It's OK to hold them accountable. The Bible actually says that if you see your brother sin, and you do nothing, and he gets hurt, the blood is on your head, but if you point it out to your brother, and he doesn't turn from his sin, then you're basically off the hook.

    Oh sweet. Thank you. I've read that too, but I needed the reminder I guess.. So correct one another as lovingly as possible. Don't just turn a blind eye. Does that mean my question on weather Joel Olsteen wasn't totally out of line either? Because he seems to confuse a lot of people and I don't think it's right. If I wasn't Christian, and saw a lot of people who claim to be Christain acting the way they do I would be a little scared off from the religion too.

    Christianity is incredibly complex. There are rules for different and you have to figure out the right one for the situation. Sometimes it's best to overlook a sin, sometimes it's best to point it out.

    Ok here goes, sometimes you are very rude to people on here, andi don't know where your rudeness & anger comes from if you are a Christian. I think you should be more careful with your words because words can be very powerful. If you want other people to be interested in being Christian and not turned off you need to be a excellent example and try & be more like Jesus. I pray you will get better. And I know I'm not perfect myself...

    Because of your heartfelt answer, I will tell you this, I think there is value in sarcasm when people behave below their potential. I believe in everyone's potential for doing good and helping their fellows in a positive way, If they choose to be dull, self-interested and callously foolish with their potential, my harmless barbs may serve to wake them up a bit.

    Pointing out a ****'s behavior does not make one a **** as much as the dicks would like to claim otherwise.
