As posted before, we've spent the winter deciding where we are to serve. We did not choose the local Naz church, but did stay in the Wesleyan connection and found a good sized "Naz like" church with classes for all.

During that time I began researching a topic of Bible study.

Different denom's forum had the topic.

Ok, since when do Christians use terms like idiot, jerk, etc for those that disagree with them?

Blech!!

Thanks for a good one!

Linda,

I used to post on BeliefNet, and there was little Christian about it. They used to call you names, then after the moderators clamped down, they'd use little tricks like calling people or their opinions bigoted and the like. They'd add that little syllable so it was descriptive, and not calling you something direct. There's also the terms like 'fundagelical' and baptiscostal' which were not supposed to be used but was thrown around as a slur. I don't always agree with everyone here, but it is pretty civil.
