re losing your temper is not a christian trait from article apr athos rutgers edu by ruthless panix com ruth ditucci coming from a long line of hot tempered people i know temper when i see it one of the tell tale signs fruits that give non christians away is when their net replies are acrid angry and sarcastic i do hope that you are not suggesting that merely because a person replies in an acrid angry and sarcastic manner that this demonstrates their non christianity the simple fact is that there is not a christian on the face of the planet that i know of that is perfect i have been known at times to have a fit of temper or a sulk but this does not make me any the less a christian one of the points of being a christian as i perceive it is to become more like christ this statement inherently suggests that we are not already like christ jesus never unrighteously lost his temper i do jesus was perfect i m not we in the net village do have a laugh or two when professed born again christians verbally attack people who might otherwise have been won to christianity and had originally joined the discussions because they were spiritually hungry instead of answering questions with sweetness and sincerity these chrisitan net warriors flame the queries you must understand that this is because christians often forget to treat others as our role model christ would this is because we are human and falible i for one do not pretend to be infalible and i hope that my fellow men will bear with me when i make mistakes this surely is not too much to ask when i make every effort to bear with them you don t need any enemies you already do yourselves the greatest harm and don t we know it again i say foolish foolish foolish again i say we are all human to my brethren this ms duticci has a valid point and we as christians ought to heed the warning in her article we oftimes discredit ourselves and our saviour in the way that we treat others strive towards the goal set us by our lord but in the meantime remember there is no condemnation for those who are in christ when you blow it go easy on yourself forgive yourself as your father in heaven forgives you and remember and this is something i firmly beieve and cling to one day we shall see him face to face and in that day we shall finally be perfected i look forward to seeing you there rrrrr oo bbbbb r r oo oo b b r r oo oo b bb robert pomeroy r rr o o b b rrrr o o bbbbb u i teach cs keele ac uk r r o o b b r r oo oo b bb r r oo oo b b r r oo bbbbb ps if you want to draw anything to my attention then please mail me direct because i don t often read the news pps if i have offended anyone with this article i beg your forgiveness in advance
