Well, even in a thread such as this, of quoting scripture, someone who doesn't follow Scripture has no business - in my judgment- posting in such a thread, unless it is for seeking understanding.

Why even go into a thread and state "I disagree with your post" or such? I thought the understanding was, if the thread was open to other's comments, actually asking for opinions, then the method was to go into the thread and post say, what "I" believe or think, not anything against another post's comments, or beliefs. That type of judgment isn't one that's allowed, I think. I can hold my own judgments, but cannot display them against another. If I can agree with the inquisitor - the originator of the thread- and give support, then I do so. But just because I disagree doesn't give me the right to post that disagreement. Good judgment must prevail.

Anyone who has been here since the forum opened KNOWS that I am a devout Christian, and that my verses and comments here, like this, are for Christians. I don't "care" what others think, this isn't for them, this is to encourage the saints... my fellow believers. In my judgment, no one else can possibly garner the benefit of knowing what the Bible says to the extent another Christian can. They can assist non-believers, surely, but only to the extent the reader allows.

Yes, the use of animals is a judgment call, I agree. We all have our purpose here on earth, all the spirits within the living creatures of creation, imo.

We, as humans, are constantly judging. It is the purpose of this thread to say, yes, judging has God's blessings upon it. How you judge, and what you do with the results is up to you. Yes, Scripture does say that how you judge another, well, that you best be prepared to be judged in the same vein. I challenge that assessment. I need that, to put me or to keep me in the perfect will of God. Where that judgment puts others is none of my concern. TC!
