In conversation, tone and intention aren't difficult to grasp. In writing, it's very easy to be misunderstood, offensive, threatening, lewd, presumptuous, deceitful, rude, or inappropriate when it isn't one's intention. When it is, the power of words to jump off of a page and affect one's demeanor is again reaffirmed. It's facebook, for example, but the smiling face one sees and the posts one reads can leave one scratching one's head, or phoning a real friend for a second opinion. "What is this supposed to mean?"
A poor choice of words isn't a crime, and although innocent, or with no intention to cause confusion or harm, thoughtlessness before clicking "post" can be problematic. Other times, however, comments are posted specifically and deliberately to give readers the impression that close, personal, longtime relationships exist. That's another good ol' reason for the delete/block feature after the double take, gasp, and "What the...?
Don't abuse the limited access that others grant to you by behaving (posting) badly. Think, then click. "Social media friend" and "true friend" are not the same animal. Boundaries are set for a reason. Most people who use social media have proven they aren't totally unwilling to engage others. Once the olive branch is extended, though, don't snatch it and make shredded salad out of it.

SATAN IS THE GREAT DECEIVER BY STEVE FINNELL
ReplyDeleteTo convince men that for the remissions of sins means because your sins has already been forgiven takes a willing subject and the master of deception.
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins.....(NKJV)
When you take an aspirin for a headache, you do not take an aspirin because your headache has already been eradicated. For means in order to have your headache cured.
When you have surgery for a damaged heart, you do not have surgery because the heart has already been repaired.
When you take pills for high blood pressure, you are not taking pills because your blood pressure has already been corrected.
For the remission of sins means in order to receive forgiveness.
For the remission of sins does mean because your sins have already been forgiven.
It takes a maven of trickery, a master of deception, and a skilled professional to convince people that for forgiveness of sins means because your sins have already been forgiven.
Pride can cloud the understanding and wisdom of men.
Honestly seeking God's truth is the way of salvation through Jesus Christ.
