Just so that the record is clear (since we don’t delete posts) – if anyone is reading this at a future date, please go to this thread for the full resolution.

My apologies again,

Chris

Ingrid,
My wife used to suffer from fibromyalgia, and I know from her experience that it can be horrible. I hate to see anyone suffer from it.

I say “used to” because” 7 years ago or so, God healed her from it. It was really amazing because it was almost an instananeous difference. I just wanted to encourage you, because I believe God is still in the healing business. I’ll pray for you.

I would like to say, having been called a liar, that my first knowledge of Chris’s apology was this morning at 10 AM when I got to my desk. I suffer from fibromyalgia which causes sleep disturbances and exhaustion/muscle pain which is disabling. I responded as quickly as I knew there was a post and could not do better as I do not live online and have a family as well. As for me being referred to as a liar, I have never knowingly said anything on Slice that wasn’t true and doing so would go against everything I believe. I have made retractions whenver I have learned of error on my part. Because my take on something is different than someone else’s does not make me a liar.

Phil, Morgan Spurlock is on line 2, and he’s got a beef with you.

Joe M.,
I was going to say the same thing.

It’s like ordering food at Taco Bell while saying it’s a horrible place to eat and people probably shouldn’t eat there.

Calvin, if this isn’t the place to have discussion what are you hoping to accomplish by coming here?

Calvin,

Would it be better to let CRN and Slice run rampant on the internet with no accountability, possibly destroying the faith, mercy, and love of those believers who stumble across them?

Or would it be better to minister where needed, the internet namely, to do even just a little bit of damage control. To me, that would be worth it. To me, Jesus is needed right here and right now just as much as anywhere else.

I think we too often say “get out there and do something!”, but the internet, in moderation, is a valuable tool to reach people and correct error, namely those who SEEMINGLY throw all other Christians under the bus over ‘mint, cumin, and dill’.

Grace,

Joe

Whether or not the verse for the site is accurately depicted in the context of this site or not, the heart of my point was to show that the internet is no place to discuss/debate/argue over theological/church doctrinal issues. Your focusing on my comment on the verse clearly shows this. If we would have been talking to one another you would have picked up on my dislike of internet debate, seeing as it goes nowhere (or possibly minute changes). Furthermore the close mindedness of this site, and others like it, draws me to conclude that my pleas for simple peace between online “Christian” forums is useless. If you’d like to talk with me more, join gmail and we can email or use the chat system to further discuss, but my impatience and dislike of forums has reached its end and I won’t be on this site anymore (though I’m not promising..).
