Thanks, I appreciate that.
I’ll always try to be.
Colossians4:6….”Let your words always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should answer each person.”
Of course, no one can perfectly apply this. But we can try. That’s what Jehovah appreciates: our efforts.

Okay.
Thanks.
Not sure how to find it. But I can search it out..
And get ‘around tuit’ in the near future.

“Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.”
Colossians 4:6 KJV
Since i am not a Christian i will answer from my own understanding of what you call hellfire :)
In my understanding Hell is not a permanent place doomed humans will stay for ever, but it is very difficult to get out if one first fall that far. Does a form of hellfire exist? For those who fear...
Let me ask you this, @Amanaki : Take the doctrine of Hellfire. Is it ‘truth’? Then God is scary....people wouldn’t be / aren’t drawn to a God that does / allows that.
But what if it’s wrong? Then it certainly dishonors God. Should people be told, and shown how wrong it is, and where to find...
Colossians4:6
Ephesians 4:31-32
Colossians 3:12-14
Not very many apply it in this world...especially now when the Bible is scoffed at!
But when viewing it in context, it’s wisdom is priceless, IMO!
(Reading these Scriptures in the supplied KJV....my goodness! It’s awful! Please, staff, add...
Thanks for the kind words! We are trained @ our meetings to be tactful while discussing others’ beliefs, but it’s difficult to do so without appearing to attack the person. Keeping in mind Colossians4:6 and Proverbs 15:1 helps me.
Again, thank you.
I am happy to see you happy
I hope the whole world is happy
God's mercy covers all creatures
thank you brother
Muslims believe in the incapacity of Jesus to divinity or that he is God, and that GOSPEL has misled the facts
This is very painful when I find my brothers on the way far from the...
"genetically modified scriptures "
That's a good one.
I have no quarrel with anything you said here.
There are corrupt men with dishonest intent, and some have made efforts to corrupt the ancient scriptures. That's why students of the Bible are careful to detect spurious insertions, like the...
You are welcome. And I appreciate the same treatment. (Really, doesn't everybody?) Actually, one of our meetings is designed to teach us how to interact with others. We try to apply the counsel, but at times we fail. Colossians4:6, Philippians 2:2-4 and Galatians 5:22-23 are three passages we...
I'm sorry you've had some bad experiences with my brothers and sisters on here! We try to apply Scriptures like Colossians4:6 and similar ones in speaking with others.
I've always enjoyed conversing with you, Katzpur.
Wish you the best, my cousin!
I like to put things in my own words. If we trust our own words, unless we lie on purpose, we'd be expressing the truth as regardless the instrument of choice.
Colossians4:6
Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.

The 1st thing that is of concern to me is if your beliefs come from scripture or what is your view on the bible?
1. plain and simple they are asleep dead, and we don't know for sure how god has judged them, but many would assume to Gehenna which is the second death (meaning a permanent sleep)
2...
I could say the same of Communism: that stalin perverted the true humane meaning of the works of marx and engels.
Even if that were true, the words of christ/marx still became the political weapon of the catholic church/stalin, etc. If Christianity is the true religion, why was it perverted in...
I cannot speak for the Quran, only for the Bible.
G. K. Chesterton wrote: "Christianity hasn't been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried."
And Mahatma Gandhi, opening the Bible to Matthew chapter 5, told Lord Irwin, "When your country and mine shall get together...
Thanks for honest post, Carlita.
One thing I'd like to point out is this....
You really can't blame the Bible for what the church (people) did, and still do!
That's like a person purchasing do-it-yourself furniture but instead of following the instructions, he decides to put it together...
God's Law condemned most of these things; what was allowed, was only for the Israelites, in protecting them and helping them to survive as a nation living among morally deficient people. But those times have passed.
Now, there is no specific nation (Acts of the Apostles 10:35), and God tells...
Apology accepted. I try to do the same and likewise apologise if I have also failed.
However I'm not sure you speak for Deeje after her recent posts.
I suppose the difficulty arises when we sincerely believe the other is in grave error.
Compassion for the other should compel us to try and...
