Jesus called His disiples,the salt of the earth,what happens when the salt loses it's flavor?Salt in biblical days was considered in many cultures,a valuable asset.Knowledge and wisdom,was considered salt.It speaks to the make up of our being.Mark 9:50]What happens when we as learned christians let loose on each other,debating who is right and who is wrong,in front of the babes in Christ,isn't that a sin when we make the Lords words uninspiring,useless a myth?(scriptual answers) I personally have found myself questioning the relavance of some sites,because the knowledgeable have found themselves debating issues that are important,but are not of any concern to those who are seeking a path to the Lord.In the game of knowledge,which one are we(teacher,mentor,student victim are scoffer) ?Would you agree some leaders& christians are handing over the new in Christ to the world because they want nothing to do with Christ,if this is all we do?If knowledge is the salt,and it's rendered useless,what taste are we leaving in the lost mouth,and should they follow us,if all we do is argue?

THIS IS COMMENDABLE AND ACCURATE INSIGHT. THE "PREACHER EVEN ADDRESSED A SIMILAR ISSUE IN ECCLESIASTES 1:18 " FOR IN MUCH WISDOM IS MUCH GRIEF: AND HE THAT INCREASETH KNOWLEDGE INCREASETH SORROW, (ACCOUNTABILITY). THE SCRIPTURES WARN US THAT THE PEOPLE PERISH FOR A "LACK OF KNOWLEDGE" (IGNORANCE), BUT IT ALSO CLARIFIES THE WHOLE MATTER IN SAYING "THE "LETTER ( INTELLECT, PHILOSOPHY, THE WRONGLY OR UNDIVIDED WORD) KILLETH, BUT THE "SPIRIT' GIVETH LIFE." IT SEEMS AS THOUGH , IT'S NOT EVEN SO MUCH AS WHAT IS SAID, BUT THE MANNER AND SPIRIT IN WHICH IT IS RELATED, AS WELL AS RECEIVED. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT PEOPLE OFTEN ENTER INTO THESE "DEBATES" ON THE DEFENSE, LOOKING TO "SCRAP' WITH SOMEONE OR FLEX THEIR INTELLECTUAL "MUSCLES', IN SUPERIORITY, ARROGANCE, OR SELF-RIGHTOUSNESS, WHEN, IN FACT, EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO THEIR OWN OPINION, AND DESERVE TO HAVE IT RESPECTED, AND PEOPLE EVEN HAVE THE "RIGHT TO BE "WRONG"! RIGHT OR WRONG IS OFTEN OPEN FOR INTERPRETATION AND PERSPECTIVE. I AM CERTAIN THAT THE LORD WE 'FIGHT ABOUT' IS HIGHLY OFFENDED TO FIND HIMSELF, BEING A HOLY GOD, THE PRINCE OF PEACE, WHO ABOUNDS IN GRACE TOWARDS US ALL, AT THE CENTER OF THESE DISPUTES, VERBAL WARS, AND EXCHANGES OF INSULTS. HOW GRIEVED HE MUSTBE, WHEN HE PAID SUCH A DEAR PRICE TO ESTABLISH "PEACE ON EARTH, GOOD WILL TO ALL MEN. WHILE WE ENGAGE ONE ANOTHER IN SPIRITUAL WARFARE AND ASSAULT, SOULS ARE STEADILY SLIPPING INTO HELL, AND THEIR CRIES ARE GOING UHEEDED AND UNHEARD. BECAUSE OF THE VOLUME OF DISPUTING THAT DROWNS OUT THEIR CRIES, AND THE DISTRACTION FROM OUR ULTIMATE PURPOSE, WHICH WILL NEVER BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH OUR PRESENT BEHAVIOUR. " BUT IF YE HAVE BITTER ENVYING AND STRIFE IN YOUR HEARTS, GLORY NOT, AND LIE NOT AGSIANST THE TRUTH. THIS WISDOM DESCENDETH NOT FROM ABOVE, BUT IS EARTHLY, SENSUAL, DEIVLISH. FOR WHERE ENVYING AND STRIFE IS, THERE IS CONFUSION AND EVERY EVIL WORK!" BU THE WISDOM THAT IS FROM ABOVE, IS FIRST PURE, THEN PEACEABLE, GENTLE, AND EASY TO BE INTREATED, FULL OF MERCY AND GOOD FRUITS, WITHOUT PARTIALITY, AND WITHOUT HYPOCRISY. AND THE FRUIT OF RIGHTOUSNESS IS SOWN IN PEACE OF THEM THAT MAKE PEACE." (JAMES 3:14-18) " BUT FOOLISHA AND UNLEARNED QUESTIONS AVOID, KNOWING THAT THEY DO GENDER STRIFE! AND THE SERVANT OF THE LORD MUST NOT STRIVE; BUT BE GENTLE UNTO ALL MEN, APT TO TEACH, PATIENT. IN "MEEKNESS' INSTRUCTING THOSE THAT OPPOSE THEMSELVES; IF GOD, PERADVENTURE WILL GIVE THEM REPENTANCE TO THE ACKNOWLEDGING OF THE TRUTH, AND THAT THEY MAY RECOVER THEMSELVES OUT OF THE SNARE OF THE DEVIL,WHO ARE TAKEN CAPTIVE BY HIM AT WILL." 2TIM. 2:23-26 THESE ARE POWWERFUL SCRIPTURES THAT REVEAL AND MAKE CLEAR, GOD'S STANCE IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES, AND IT IS THESE THINGS THAT WERE WRITTEN FOR OUR LEARNING.THERE HAVE BEEN THOSE WHO WERE SEEKING AND SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS, LOOKING FOR SALVATION AND THE EVIDENCE THAT THIS "SAVED " WORLD WE REPRESNT IS DIFFERENT FROM THE NIGHTMARE THEY'RE TRYING TO ESCAPE, AND THEY HAVE BECOME DISCOURAGED, DISILLUSIONED AND SHOCKED TO VIEW WHAT GOES ON WITHIN THE WALLS OF 'SALVATION, AND SIMPLY TURNED BACK. FOR THIS, WE WILL HAVE TO GIVE AN ACCOUNT, BECAUSE IT IS NO MORE THAN OUR REASONABLE SERVICE TO DEMONSTRATE THE AGAPE' LOVE OF GOD TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER, EXTEND GRACE FOR EVERYONE'S IMPERFECTIONS AND FRAILTIES, AND BE ABOUT THE BUSINESS OF PROSELYTIZING OR MAKING DISCIPLES, THRU THE EVIDENCE OF OUR FAITH AND LIFESTYLE, AND THE SHARING OF THIS GOSPEL TO THOSE WHO HUNGER AND THIRST AFTER RIGHTOUSNESS, AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM, WHO CALLED US ALL OUT OF DARKNESS, INTO THE MARVELOUS LIGHT! THERE'S ONE THOIING THAT IS ABSOLUTELY "UNDEBATABLE', WHICH IS OUR 'COMMON THREAD, " HE DELIVERED US ALL OUT OF A "HORRIBLE PIT, AND ALL OF OUR OWN PERSONAL "RIGHTOUSNESS' IS AS FILTHY RAGS!!"
Thank you Propetess,my only goal is to correct myself,and those who debate without realizing we're being watched by those who are strattling the line.2Tim3:7,says EVER LEARNING,AND NEVER ABLE TO COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH.The truth is HE said go out and spread His gospel,not debate it,He said where we are not received,dust off our feet and continue on.I don't want to see all these wise people here,are any where else,be like Moses,do everything right,but instead of speaking to the rock,we strike it for the demonstration of superiority!
GOD BLESS!!
AMEN!
Amen! I come to learn, to have an insight on others train of thoughts, but being seasoned and convinced in ones beliefs is a must before coming to sites as these. I would never suggest to a babe to visit a gospel forum. One must be rooted in the word and anchored in the Lord.

See none of us have reached perfection, and people can bring out attributes that you thought were covered in the blood, if you aren't cautious. The best way to deal with an ego is to let it go, it will expose itself.
Good day,my point is,the lost in Christ see us who carry bibles,constantly reading,argueing over things that they don;t understand,because they believed God is just suppose to love them,so seeing christians fussing,they ask whats the difference between the world and God.It's a random questionier being posted nation wide by liberty college gathering insight of non-believers to get thier views.Most say they wouldn't follow a christian nowhere,it reminds them of a dictatorship.We are respondsible for the words that bring in,and send people out of the kingdom.Eccl.1:18-FOR IN MUCH WISDOM,IS MUCH GRIEF,AND HE THAT INCREASETH KNOWLEDGE,INCREASETH SORROW.
