Yes Amanda, I think people are still growing spiritually in that area and are learning to try not to be so hard or blasting in their responses so as not to offend.
it takes time to grow and some of us came to the Lord late in life and carry garbage and baggage that we have to learn to let go. |

You've probably noted that the verses you quoted are given to us. That should be out heart attitude, our treatment of those elders. This is how we are told to treat fellow brothers and sisters - Php 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Yet, we are told here to highly esteem those which labour among us, admonish us and are over us I Thess 5:12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; 13 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves. Yet, Bro. George brings out more applicable verses: But notice here who this is written to: Quote:
These verses are a warning to not puff YOURSELF up. Not to think to highly of YOURSELF. Not negating the verses to those us as to who we are to esteem. It is written how we are to think of men...Those that "rule" well and labour among us we are to highly esteem. And as Christians we are all (even the leadership) to esteem another better than ourselves. Now lest I alert the forum police I had better not post anymore today |

I was tempted to remove this entire thread, but I think the topical content is quite important, so I've gone through and removed the tiresome, bitter, personal, baiting, bickering posts (and a few that were just in response to those, since they were also out of place).
If anyone want to continue posting on the topic of this thread, please feel free to do so. |
