Sky, I've been thinking about your post and the attacks that have been made on our beliefs here in this forum. Apparetly, some people don't understand the meaning of Sanctuary and neither do they understand the meaning of respect for others.

Since Christ's time, He and His followers have been attacked and even more so "as the time draws near." If our witness here, as our faith is expressed in our posts is what draws those attacks, then what IMO would be wise for us believers to do is ask ourselves, "What would Christ do?" How did He respond to those that attacked and questioned Him? He didn't attack back nor did He defend His identity. He simply stated who He was in the flesh and moved on.

IMO, I don't think these people that come here for the sole purpose of ridiculing us, calling us names and to make trouble, deserve a response. They state their position. Ok. So? All we can really do is pray for them and pray for the safety of this forum. These people, if they were truly looking for the Truth, would come here with an open mind and read, maybe ask some questions and either accept or reject.

I strongly suggest that all believers that come to this forum be Immitators of Christ. Let's not allow our baser instincts to take over and in doing so, lower our standards for a higher calling.

"Peace. Be still."
