I have been asking Bill to learn some people skills for quite some time now so that he doesn't insult people, and so he doesn't drive seekers away. He seems to think that he is NOT insulting anyone and that he is bringing people to Christ rather than pushing them away.

I drew an analogy in a different thread, comparing his way of speaking to a person who has body odor. When that smell is with you all the time, you don't notice it. Other people however, do. I told Bill that if others tell you you have body odor, it is a sure bet that you DO, hoping that he'll see that his manner of speaking, while HE doesn't notice it, is very insulting to others, both athiest and Christian alike.

So I would like to get your opinions. Perhaps if enough people vote that he IS insulting, and that he IS driving seekers away, he will finally learn to speak in a more respectful, less accusatory and insulting manner.

And if enough of you say that he is NOT insulting and pushing people away, I will drop my "war" with Bill and be forever silent on the subject.

Thanks.

When Billy post within this thread, it will be with one of his stupid cartoons & a smart remark. He's the right hand man of God, & will do as he pleases. A poll isn't going to change a thing with him. I did find it interesting how the votes have gone & I'm not surprised.

Hi HadEnough,

What are you doing hanging out at the corner of Atheist Alley and Far Left Liberal Lane? Don't you know this is too radical a neighborhood for Conservative Christians?

Some of that Far Left Liberal Socialist dust might get on your clothes.

Nice to see you, regardless of the neighborhood.

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill

Hi HadEnough,

Do you know how we Conservative Christians can tell when we are doing things right? When the atheists and Far Left Liberals begin throwing rocks. The more stones thrown -- the better our Christian message must be; for it is angering the tribes.

When we come to this neighborhood, we should always take extra precaution to make sure we have put on the Full Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-20).

The Stones of Atheism and the Rocks of Liberalism are no match for our Full Armor of God.

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill

Hi Bill, good to see you also. I see all the atheist are here in this dump thread. lol

Hi Had,

Yeah, they love hanging out around Atheist Alley and Far Left Liberal Lane. I guess we can now call them the "Hood."

Had, be careful walking alone in this neighborhood; no telling what might be lurking in the shadows.

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill

Hi VP,

Why are you upset? I did not exclude you -- I said atheist and "liberals." And that would include New Age and Wiccan also, B50.

See, none of the tribes are excluded. I am an equal opportunity Conservative.

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill

After spending several weeks reading the posts in this forum I have reached a few conclusions.
1. This is Bill Gray's forum.
2. Anyone who doesn't see it Bill's way is wrong and deserves to be stoned.
3. {this one was really news to me}..anyone who doesn't believe is part of an organized effort to destroy the world.
4. If I do become a believer, I ain't got to worry about living right cause once I'm in I'm in.
5. The way into the heavenly kingdom is through Bill.

Is this a fair assement?
I think that things are a bit exaggerated in this religion forum.

1. Mr Bill does post a lot, and verbosely also; but he has a right to do so! Same as each of us. First Amendment, anyone? I've had differences in opinion with him in the past, by the way. I'm not a Baptist or Church of Christ cheerleader (their skirts are too long and bras are not optional), but being broad-minded is hard work.

2. The two questions were both flawed. To choose either alternative commits one to more than one would wish.

a. There's not an excessive cordiality in this religion forum, period. Yes, Mr. Bill sometimes goes overboard, but he's not the only one. And I'm not excluding myself, I'm embarassed to say.

b. Mr. Bill doesn't help the cause of religion; but he does not harm it either. I'm sorry, but the devil costume just doesn't fit him. I must admit that he has his good side too; he seems to have developed an entente with a few of us, and I'm willing to be included.

3. Therefore, I see this whole issue as overrated. Please look under your beds for hobgoblins instead!

Bill is overzealous, makes mistakes, takes a hard line, and is stubborn in his beliefs.

But, the devil, he is not.

I am quite stubborn in my beliefs as well, so clashes occur.

Now, any one up for smores? Big Grin


I'd like one, please. Big Grin

TheBill's just gettin' near the end and now he wants to get into heaven. That's why he's so into "once saved-always saved." Heh. Musical chairs-Get saved before the music stops.

Please pass the Purina(tm) Hobgoblin Chow.

As for harming the cause of religion, he's killing it. If he is what religion is, most of us wouldn't want any.

Hi Chick,

According to your previous posts; you were walking away, no, make the running away -- from God long before you and I met on the Forum. So, sorry, I cannot accept the applause for that result.

However, it does strike one as odd that the most outspoken person on HOW to share God's Word on the Forum -- is one who does not recognize God.

Just possibly, the reason I am salt to your wound -- is because your wound is caused by your running away from God. Think about it.

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill

SO DO I! - PRAISE GOD!

Maybe not, but the robes of the Pharisees fit perfectly.

Hi Crusty,

You haven't been around much lately. Have you been out looking for six strong men to carry you into church for the first time?

Y'all come back now, ya heah?

Bill, your senility is showing again. I've been to church before, you know it. Sorry I don't fit your legalese version of a Christian, but that's your problem not mine.

One day, you might find some love in your heart, but I doubt it. You need to read up on the Pharisees, then look in the mirror. You'll then be able to put a face to any mental picture you might drum up from said reading.

Running? That’s funny, but I think not.
You consider me the most outspoken person on HOW to share God's Word on the Forum – as the one that doesn’t recognize God???
Gosh, thank you, Billy!!

I laughed out loud that you consider yourself salt to my wound, even though there isn’t any!! But, hey, if that makes you feel good to think so….have at it!!

It isn’t so much your message, (except your once saved, always saved) that bothers people, it’s all in HOW you deliver that message.

I know unsaved people that show a lot more compassion & love than you do & in someone that considers themselves a Christian, I find that very, very sad.
