The core principle of Christianity is Love. We can see the Love Principle
made clear in First Corinthians chapter 13.

Here are the characteristics of the Principle Of Love as presented in
First Corinthians chapter 13.

{1} Love is patient.
{2} Love is kind.
{3} Love does not envy.
{4} Love does not boast.
{5} Love is not proud.
{6} Love is not rude.
{7} Love is not self-seeking.
{8} Love is not easily angered.
{9} Love keeps no record of wrongs.
{10} Love does not delight in evil.
{11} Love rejoices with the truth.
{12} Love always protects.
{13} Love always trusts.
{14} Love always hopes.
{15} Love always perseveres.
{16} Love never fails.
{17} These three remain: faith, hope, and love.
{18} But the greatest of these is Love.

Threads on the Internet At Large are characterized by those 18
demonstrations of Love, aren't they?

There is not any hateful ugly squabbling, haggling, and bickering that
goes on between Opponents inside Thread World on the Internet
At Large, is there?

Inside Thread World on the Internet At Large there is not a never
ending Cannibalistic Feast of biting and devouring one another going
on, is there? Thread World on the Internet At large is not The Land Of
The Cannibals, is it? Rather Thread World is characterized by love,
kindness, compassion, empathy, sympathy, and a charitable reading
of each other's posts, isn't it?

Inside Thread World on The Internet At Large, there is hardly ever
any harshness, resentment, hateful criticism, denunciation,
accusations, loathing, disgruntlement, snide and snippy one-liner
responses to posts, insults, and generally unpleasant tones and
attitudes towards everybody that disagrees with each other on most
any subject, is there?

My prayer for all Internet posters:

May the Lord bless and keep you.
May the Lord make His face shine upon you
May the Lord be gracious unto you.
May the Lord turn His face toward you
May the Lord always bless you and give you peace
{based on Numbers 6:24-27

God Bless.

Here are some Bible verses that might relate in some way to the Opening Post?

"Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."__Galatians 6:1-2

"Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come
to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them
captive to do his will."__2 Timothy 2:25-26

"My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. ___The Lord Jesus John 15:12-14

"If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other."___Galatians 5:15

"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."___Ephesians 4:32

"Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble."__1 Peter 3:8

"Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification."__Romans 14:19

"If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with
everyone."___Romans 12:18

"Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble."__1 Peter 3:8

"Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels."__2 Timothy 2:23

"Keep reminding God's people of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who
listen."__2 Timothy 2:14

"If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal."__1 Corinthians 13:1

You didn't get any replies.
I wonder why?

Really, I DO believe that we try to be different here.
I think it's working out well,,,but we're all human and humans
are not perfect beings.

I saw a bumper sticker many years ago. It said:
CHRISTIANS ARE NOT PERFECT
ONLY SAVED.

This surely comes from the fact that we have different understandings
of scripture. This surely comes from the fact that there are too many
Christian denominations.

Jesus was very clear about what would save us and He never said He would save us...
He said our BELIEF in Him would save us.

Now....
I'm hoping you know what BELIEVE means in the N.T. because I'm afraid that if
I tell you....it might start a debate.

"You didn't get any replies.

Probably because everybody here agrees with the Opening Post.
CF.Net is different than most forums on the Internet and is a much
more congenial posting site.

By the way, my Opening Post and my follow-up post was not
"addressed to" the good folks here at CF.Net, but rather to
"share with them" some thoughts I had about Forums inside
Thread World On The Internet At large. I think my Opening Post
makes reference to "Thread World On The Internet At Large" 4 times.
So? So my Opening Post describes conditions in Thread World On
The Internet At Large and does not describe conditions here at CF.Net.


"Really, I DO believe that we try to be different here."___Wondering

Agreed.

"I think it's working out well,,,but we're all human and humans
are not perfect beings."___Wondering


Agreed.

"I saw a bumper sticker many years ago. It said:
CHRISTIANS ARE NOT PERFECT ONLY SAVED."___Wondering


Sign me up for that. Amen X's 100

"This surely comes from the fact that we have different
understandings of scripture."___Wondering


Yeah, the Worldwide Web has brought that into the light big time.

"This surely comes from the fact that there are too many
Christian denominations."___Wondering


I read somewhere there were 64 different flavors of Baptist
worldwide --- that was counting the small store-front start-ups.

"it might start a debate"___Wondering

I heard it said that "we don't debate here" at CF.Net :)

Amen. That is what we strive for our community to be, but we can't do it alone. I hope you will assist in making this a reality.
 
There are a few sites where back biting is prevalent but this does not detract from your point which is a good one. But even those sites, it is like the people are gravitating towards being congenial rather than viciousness.

I attribute that to...the Lord is pouring out His Spirit upon all men, and so since God is love, it is contagious. That and the fact that Brothers and Sisters are more knowledgeable now and give better answers to those folks which many of the responses are sort of, unanswerable with viciousness if they don't want to be recognized as a laughingstock.
