I know sometimes topics on here can get "heated". Lets try to remember how we should treat each other. It is fine to disagree, but there is a polite way to disagree. No one needs to prove a point by putting others down or verbally attacking others. I just wanted to make this thread as a reminder of how to treat others. It seems at times it is forgotten in the heat of the moment.



God Bless.

we are but i am seeing that when things get heated up the flesh seems to come out to the point were some will not show any respect or dignity its like i am a follower of paul i am a follower of jesus i love paul more i love jesus more


i try my hardest not to let the flesh come out but being human i have to walk away i too like the odd heated debate but i dont like hearing from a brother or sister you are a flake or you dont know what we are discussing


God bless from damo

John 13:35
By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”


Do they all know? Why not? Do we have love for one another? Love doesn't mean we have to agree about everything. Love has everything to do with the way we treat one another, and the way we handle our disagreements, as well as support one another in our times of need.
