Sky's first post was very clear to me. Christians use the Bible and their own Christian experiences to "set straight" other Christians. We have the rules in from of us and if we see a Brother or a Sister going astray, we are told to "set them straight."

Then there's discernment. For me, it's based on my knowledge of what the Bible says and mistakes I've made in the past because I didn't follow the Bible's instructions.

As for "judging" others, by your argumentative posting and beliefs that have shown up all over the board, I know or "judge" you to NOT be a Christian. I would "discern" for myself that if I had a spiritual question I would certainly not be asking you for the answer.

That doesn't mean that I don't find you intelligent in some areas, maybe many. I do. It's the way you phrase your language that puts me off. I "judge" for myself that I wouldn't count you among my close friends.

I hope you don't "judge" this as meaness on my part. I don't mean it that way. It's simply "constructive critizism." When someone gives me some constructive critizism, it always stings, but I take the time to think about it before I REACT. If I find even just a bit of truth in what they say, then I take it to heart and work to smooth out the edges, at least, if not change altogether.

I hope you take this in the spirit in which it was intended.

Sky is also right in her intentions. She posted in order to affirm the faith of those who believe in what the Bible says. It also serves to encourage us in our faith and to become better Christians. Sky wasn't looking for an argument of saying that everybody that reads her posts HAS to agree with her. If you don't agree with her help for Christians, you don't need to argue about it. Just let it be.
