Any attacks on any other member concerning their stand on debatable non-essential doctrine or for ANY reason, is not tolerated on this board. If you disagree with something that is posted you can feel free to bring up the reasons that you do so however please do so with kindness and respect toward that member. And respect means: No belittling, no calling the person a promoter of heresy, and no questioning their discerning abilities. Any violations of this rule will result in an initial warning, followed by another if done again than a suspension or banning from the forum if disregarded a third time. Thank you, and I hope these steps will never have to be taken.


1 Corinthians 13

Love

1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,* but have not love, I gain nothing.

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self‑seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12 Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Surely we can all agree that these are good standards for a Christian message board to have.
