Does that mean we all ought to judge Don by the things other people say about him in here?
Is this the way a man of God ought to behave, as has been suggested?
Or is he just trying to get traffic to his site?
BTW, my dog has one of those certificates...yes, folks, my chocolate lab, a big silly dog named Riff is an ordained minister, and can marry and bury you (along with his bones, and a couple of my shoes in the backyard). You can get those things cheap on the internet, and they are actually legal! I got one for Riff just to prove it could be done. (I guess he's the "answer dog" now.)
Comments??

I'm not looking to get buried or married right now, but if I was, I'd look to Riff to do the job. After all, DOG is GOD backwards, so how much closer to God can you get?
On the topic of gossip, no, never believe something just because someone said it. This is called Critical Thinking and we are in dire need of more of this activity in the USA and the world these days.
Peace.

First of all you should not judge people period. I know this sounds preachy, however history proves it's not a good thing.
Let me ask you a question.
Is a person that ran for President and lost seven times a success or a failure?
There is no right or wrong answer to this question; however if I finished the story you can easily see that judging someone too fast can make you look bad.
On his 8th try he became one of the most historical presidents of all time; Abraham Lincoln.
I know this is only a slight point however you have to remember when you are "judging", people could be having a bad or a good day. Or if you are judging somebody because of what somebody else says; you could be way off.
Remember you are only hearing one side of the story.
So with everything I said, you can see now why I say you should never judge somebody.

There is bumpy road, angeltress. They can be overcome :)
The Holy Spirit: Gift Giver
1 Corinthians 12:1-31
Look into any church, and you will find a few apathetic believers. Their faith may be real, but it is inactive. Some of these people have simply decided that they lack the right skills to live daily for Christ. But a believer’s limitations are no excuse for ignoring God’s call to personal ministry—human strength and talent are inadequate for serving the Lord. That is why the Holy Spirit gives each believer a spiritual gift at salvation.
Knowing exactly what a believer’s future holds, the Spirit can bestow on him or her the capacity to carry out God-given work. We can’t choose for ourselves what our gift will be; we are gifted in accordance with the calling placed on our life. The Lord also takes into account our inherent talents and personality so that our effectiveness is maximized.
Some Christians regard certain gifts as proof of genuine faith. For example, a number of churches view speaking in tongues as a prerequisite for serving the Lord. However, according to Scripture, the only “gift” common to all believers is the Holy Spirit Himself. This shows that spiritual gifts are distributed among the body of Christ, with no single manifestation being given to every believer (vv. 29-30).
The Holy Spirit makes certain that we have the right tools to serve according to our calling. It is time to shake off any apathy or expectations of others that keep us glued to the pew. Start looking for a place to serve, whether in your church, community, or at work, and you will soon discover how the Holy Spirit has gifted you.
Have a nice week.

Is this angelperson talking to THOR (God of Thunder) about her chocolate labradore?
THOR SAYS: Of course you should not judge Don for the things other people say about him, that is unwise, and wisdom is a wonderful thing.....you should judge Don purely by his own actions and writings, make you're own mind up

Please do yourself and others a favor, live and let live. While I do not subscribe to Don's theology, I do get a bit tired of him being an object of ridicule.
When I saw your first post I assumed he had angered you and you were letting it be known. I now feel like you are beating a dead horse and it is beginning to stink.
Blessings )O(

We shouldn't, unless of course they list their sources. Come to think of it, we shouldn't trust ANYBODY unless they list their sources.
