THAT'S IT I'VE DONE HAD IT AND I'M GONNA SPEAK MY MIND!!... THAT'S IT.... I'VE HAD IT WITH ALL THESE SELF-RIGHTEOUS POMPAS INDIVIDUALS WHO THINK THAT JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE THEY CAN SPEAK TO FOLKS ANY WAY THEY WANT AND THEN WANT TO HIDE BEHIND SCRIPTURE TO VALIDATE THEIR ARROGANCE!!!!.... You show me just one place in Scripture where Jesus "showed out" his knowledge of the Father to ANYONE not including the pharese or saudese..... ANYWHERE...... He never did!!... Did he walk into town swinging at the tax collectors or did he belittle the Samaritan woman at the well!!!!... Or the harlot in the street!!!....NO!!.... GET OFF YOUR SANCTIMONIOUS PEDALSTALS AND REALIZE THE PEOPLE YOU ARE TALKING TOO!!!..... Daggummit I ain't lost my temper like this in a while!!!!!
Keep your cool Tex, I'll send you over some of our cold and wet weather, that will help

. I don't know what posts etc you are refering to and its seems the person wasnt that young after all, however, that doesn't excuse how all of us behave at times. There is nothing wrong with good strong debate - unfortunatly typed wods can come across wrong and as someone else mentioned, add in different cultures and its a real mixed pot of trying to understand what someone actually means or is saying. We should all take note, take stock, sit back and think more before responding (note to self).
As I've said before, most of the worst debates tend to be on secondary and tertiary issues that are made as if they are primary.
Anyhow, getting back to your post. We should remember to take note of someones age (if we know it). Personally, I think if the girl was 15 then I don't think this or any online forum is a safe place to get spiritual advice..we should be pointing them back to their parents, youth leader,Pastor, aunt, uncle someone who they know and knows' them who is a Christian. There is also the youth forum they can go to. Thats just my opininon, someone of that age needs real spiritual care and not from armchair theologians

. So Tex has brought up a couple of critical points - check someones age before you start helping/debating. Check our behaviour (that doesnt mean we can't have robust debate). I do also believe that some times a sharp rebuke is required!
