TheHobbit13 probably has the most encouragement out of everyone by now. Unless The Schaef has more.

Another Encouragement for you.
ML,

Hey Hobbit,
Can I get 5x TXP packs if I give you a thumbs up bot?
El Amor,
Salsa
-
lol, no.
-
Its a really good deal. If you just let it run for 3 weeks, you'll have over 500 encouragements! Run it on multiple accounts to reduce your time.

hmmm I wonder if I could become an elder with that kinda encouragement.....
-
Tell you what, I'll better the offer.
I'll include 5x accounts, and you'll be able to run the bot on each one to + 1 you. Thats 120 encouragements a day, so in just 1 year you will have obtained 43,800 encouragements (+ what everyone else gives you)

Hey! Was that a wise shot?

It'd only be a wise shot if I took it at someone wise. *rimshot*

Then what is it for?
-
Do we encourage you before you send the packs or after.
-
obviously before.
-
They cross in the mail.
-
I hope you are not seriously expecting to get packs. If so, I have an official Hobbit13 Faithful Servant Promo for you.
-
I'd offer to beat Hobbit up at Regionals for lying, but he is too tough. Rumor has it he is strong enough to open a Priests pack without a scissors.
-
How can you tell who has encouraged you?
-
I hope you are not seriously expecting to get packs. If so, I have an official Hobbit13 Faithful Servant Promo for you.
This offer is legit. You have to clear it with him ahead of time and pm him when you give him encouragement. he is keeping track and has a limited # of packs he will send out.
What possessed him to make this offer I'm not sure?
-

Are you still pissed about that?

Don't joke, that thing could be worth something down the road, considering there is only 3 copies in print. Besides, you know you like it. :-*
-
As of now, you have 100 encouragements. I gave you all 100. SRS. TXP please.
-
Sure, and I will see you at regionals and give you something else you won't be able to forget.
-
Ohh! I want one! How many encouragements does that take?
-
free of charge
-
If its a kiss give it to Ring Wraith instead.
-
Don't joke, that thing could be worth something down the road, considering there is only 3 copies in print. Besides, you know you like it. :-*
FYI to everyone else, the card did indeed have lipstick on it.

I know you don't like me, but you really need to watch your language.

Which was probably Nathan's attempt to give it access to the Female Only Soul.

Could you tickle him instead? Just wait for an opportune moment, like the final round in a close match with time about to expire.

I believe he is referring to the 'p' word in your sentence. It may not be considered 'swearing', but it is a frowned upon word. Not that your a lady, but as my mother would say, it's 'unladylike'.
(So is belching...but I've never claimed to be a lady, just a princess ;) )
~Britta
-
Technically, a Princess would be extremely ladylike.
-
Obviously. Thus the ;) smiley.
~Britta
-
Sooooo, basicly we get a pack for being a dork? We just sit there clicking the button forever!
-

My brain just censors out the smilies. That, and I wanted everyone to think I was smart and knew things.

My mom would have washed my mouth out with soap if I used that word. It's not very nice in general, but to my family it is indeed a swear word.

yes same here if it is worded this way

its no different than the people that say crap on here.
-
And I know for a fact that one of the elders frowns upon the usage of said word.

That's your rule and that's fine but you really shouldn't try to force your rules on other people

Romans chapter 14. Read the whole thing.
-
10You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat. [quote/]
I think you gave me the wrong chapter....
-
No, you didn't read the whole thing. You stopped at what you wanted to hear. Continue on with verses 15-20.
-

While I also am not in favor of the language used, I am having a really hard time following you here, YMT.
Taken in context Romans 14 is talking about causing the brethren to stumble by abusing our Christian freedom. It is not some general call to eliminate all that could possibly be offensive. Are you claiming the use of the word "pissed" is causing your faith to waver?
It is clear from things I have posted previously that I take a rather more expansive view of this passage and what can be considered a cause of stumbling for the brethren. That said, I really do not follow the argument you are advancing here.
-
22 So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God.
I really think you're the one who didn't read the entire chapter...
-

"Taken into context" seems to be where we disagree. Verse 15 specifically talks about hurting fellow Christians, verse 16 about what you do being spoken of as evil, verse 18 about being acceptable to God and approved by men, verse 19 about pursuing peace, and verse 20 about giving offense.
Regarding all his other comments, it appears he has no respect for elders or fellow Christians who have asked him to watch his language. In fact his response by PM was "Nah."
-
Yeah, I'm with YMT here. Sure, the word is acceptable in many circles, but in this circle, an objection has been raised. It seems to me that if JSB was more interested in not being a stumbling block rather than in convincing others of the correctness his viewpoint on this matter, that the post in question would have been edited/removed by now.
I have made a similar post that was called into question by YMT in the past, in reference to a slogan used by Westboro Baptist Church. I simply removed the post. It really isn't that hard to do and is not worth the now wasted page of arguing. In a Christian Forum, we really shouldn't have to have these arguments. People should be willing to lay aside their rights for the betterment of the community (in this case, for increased unity).
-

I do remember that you responded to my PM almost immediately, and I appreciated that trememdously.
Now I get to "encourage" you even though I couldn't before. ;D
-
I agree with YMT, ~Achewon Enleaye~, fyero, and Alex_Olijar. Words like "pissed" and "crap" may not be technically cursing, but they are crude words that some people find offensive. If these people have expressed that they are offended by them, then out of respect for your Christian brothers and sister, you should avoid using them. I would understand if you continued to use them because there truly was no other way to express yourself. However, anyone who can't express their feelings without the use of these crude words is quite simply ignorant of the English language.
I don't think JSB is ignorant, therefore, I would expect that he could find better ways to express himself.

well said. and i find YMT's scripture reference intriguing. We should all be cautious of what we say for we will all be held accountable, would you use words like those before God?
-
Fine we'll take it verse by verse
15 If your brother is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy your brother for whom
Fine I'll give you that, how the word "piss" destroys you I don't know but anyway
16 Do not allow what you consider good to be spoken of as evil.
This verse is completely irrelevant to this debate so we'll ignore it
17For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit,
This verse says that what you do doesn't really matter, the kingdom of God is about peace and joy you're the one who started all this so...
18 because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men.
Same as verse sixteen
Regarding all his other comments, it appears he has no respect for an elder or a fellow Christian who have asked him to watch his language.
I noticed a few errors in your previous post I just wanted to make sure no one got confused on how many people actually care
I responded the way I did because I really don't like it when people don't mind their own business
and since you apparently didn't see it before
10You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat.
22 So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God.
You really should read the entire chapter it's quite interesting
and one last note to YMT and Prof:
Who made you the "Moral guardians" of the boards?
Nobody wants it. Nobody needs it. The bible is very clear on the subject of judging others DON'T.

I find it very difficult to find any "context" at all in which Romans 14 is meant to be taken to mean, "I have the authority to publicly rebuke a brother because how he chose to express himself personally offends me." That interpretation makes mock of the prohibition against "passing judgment on one another" and the command to keep these things "between yourself and God" that bookend the passage in question. Romans 14 is about the responsibilities of Christian liberty and is not meant to serve as a basis for legalism.
Regarding all his other comments, it appears he has no respect for elders or fellow Christians who have asked him to watch his language. In fact his response by PM was "Nah."
If you argue your case with a neighbor, do not betray another man's confidence,
or he who hears it may shame you and you will never lose your bad reputation.

And while I agree with this sentiment, I do need to say that the amount of harm done by JSB's expression strikes me as rather small compared to the possible damage caused by a mature Christian brother misinterpreting Scripture (Romans 14) to bolster his side in a petty squabble.

I agree. I grew up under this kind of legalism and the end result was the it gave me a false view of who God is, influencing me to choose years of rebellion before I saw my deep need for Him (and who He truely is).
All that to say this kind of abuse of scripture to support ones own petty preferences really torks me off. Am I allowed to say that?

Ban.
From now on, we will use a new word to convey a strong sense of annoyance:
Anewbeginning/s/ed/y.
"Your anewbeginningy attitude is really starting to anewbeginning me off."
"Remember how anewbeginninged MJB was when they errata'd his favorite Green card? Twice? I can't even remember what card it was now though."
-
That was quite possibly one of the funniest posts I've read in a long time. It would have been the funniest if you had managed to get the /s/ form in there.

You are right that the Bible is very clear (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%205:12&version=NIV) on the subject of judging others. You are wrong about what it says. The Bible actually says that we are NOT to judge those outside the church (that's God's job), but that we are supposed to judge those inside the church (that's accountability). So either you are a Christian and my challenge to you is entirely appropriate, or you are not a Christian and I owe you an apology for assuming that you were.

Thank you for ignoring the verses I posted

I PM'd my request first, to which he replied how he did. His refusal led to the "public rebuke" that you refer to.

I think that Christians who choose to live without accountability are far more dangerous to the faith than one Christian asking another to watch his language. I find it much more "petty" to refuse to not use a word that fellow Christians have been trained their whole life to view as vulgar.
With that said, the question would be why "mature" Christians would drag a simple request this far? You speak of legalism. I was not questioning JSB's faith or calling him a sinner. I asked him to "watch his language." I do the same thing in public school every single day. Perhaps you are suggesting that I am being a false witness and should be hung, drawn, and quartered? For an adult to ask a young person to watch his language is part of normal society. Now when you bring in a Christian context, language should be even more in check.
If mature Christians are not supposed to guide young Christians in everyday behavior, then we are neglecting our responsibility. I refuse to believe that ignoring inappropriate behavior is God's Plan.

this is completely subjective. if it were 'vulgar', im pretty sure it would be censored on the boards.

hahaha, I just read this entire thread. Prof's post was wyn.
-
Thank you for ignoring the verses I posted
I assumed that you posted those verses to YMT considering that I haven't referred to that passage at all during this thread. As for my thoughts on them, I agree that we shouldn't look down on you (vs 10), but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't encourage you to do the right thing. You already agreed that when you distress your brother because of your unnecessary actions that you aren't acting in love (vs. 15). You said that "what you do doesn't really matter" which is a preposterous way to interpret verse 17 taken in context of the entire Bible. And finally you said that YMT should keep his opinion between himself and God (vs 22), which is also clearly not meant to be universally applied considering all the places in the Bible that it talks about correcting our Christian brothers and sisters.
Now how about if you actually take seriously the verse that I posted. What do you think about it? And could you please tell me if you're a Christian or not so I can know whether to apologize to you or not?
-
but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't encourage you to do the right thing.
this thread is about encouraging for packs, not the right thing. ;)
-
there is a point where encouragement becomes harassment. a person needs only be told once to be less ignorant. if they still refuse and they are not breaking a law or forum rule, best they be left to their own devices.
-
JSB, if nothing else, you are being completely disrespectful to your elders.
Besides, just because we are Christians doesn't mean we get to do whatever we want to. The bible says not to let filthy language come out of your mouth. What you said might not be considered filthy to you, but we are not to cause our brethren to stumble. I am certain YMT did not stumble because of this, but please keep in mind there are impressionable minds on here.
And FTR, "p" is a worse word than "crap".
-
just by your last sentence alone reinforces the subjectivity of this entire thread.
-
I think we should drop this now before we break the dam.
-

I agree with this. I responded to JSB's last post because I didn't know until then that he wanted me to reply to the verses he listed. However, if he continues for too long in his refusal to listen to anyone else on this subject, then it will be time for me to simply leave him to his ignorance.
-
...subjectivity .....
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
I think we should drop this now before we break the dam.
If keeping the dam is helping build more Uruk Hai, then I say break it!
-
Thank you for ignoring the verses I posted
It seems par for the course, since you did something you feel is correct but he feels is wrong, yet you feel the verse "do not let what you consider good to be spoken of as evil" is not relevant to the discussion. Strange, since that is the entirety of the discussion.
Telling someone to mind their own business is a rather sketchy prospect on a public message board where the entire point is that the entire populace can see what you write and respond to it. People only know what you tell them, and if it's posted openly there is no expectation that an issue is "personal" or "private".
Deference to brethren is not legalism. It is an acknowledgment that not everyone shares in the same struggles or indulges in the same liberties. Life abundant is tempered in setting a good example for others to follow. To say "I don't care if you don't like what I do, just shut up and deal with it" does not strike me as the correct attitude in response.
An example: the encouragement system is not perfect but it's the best thing we have immediately available with the current version of this software. Some like it, some do not. Some have seen fit to argue about it, others to try and game it for purposes not entirely clear to me, and still others prefer simply to sabotage it. The purpose of this system was never to cause contention among members of the board, yet it seems to be an unavoidable consequence. Therefore I am shutting it down immediately. Any issues not related to the now-defunct encouragement system I advise you to take to PMs.
