Fair enough, I agree. (As Proverbs says, Every story sounds true until the other side of the story is told, and the record is set straight ) Christianity is the place for this, because not all of the people here are per-se Christians. Or it could have been confined to Slechta's prayer thread, since Christians are there.
1 Cor 6: 1
When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints?
1Co 6:2
Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases?
1Co 6:3
Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life!
but brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers?
1Co 6:7
To have lawsuits at all with one another is already a defeat for you. Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded?
1Co 6:8
But you yourselves wrong and defraud—even your own brothers!
This should apply to anything that relates to one Christian and another- including this.
We also need to be careful that we are, especially if we are mature believers or in a position of authority, circumspect and above reproach ourselves.
Titus 1:7
For an overseer as God’s steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain,
1:8
but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined.
1::9
He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it.
I would say if you and Andy_Man 45 are at odds, the Christian Libertarian solution would not have been to broadcast this to GA (as he did), but to deal with it in the confines of the Christianity forum, and preferably by PM. I will check out your response, if a Mod has not already deleted the whole thread. (It happens, and sometimes the poster deletes them, as well.)
