I prefer "steel sharpening steel" myself, but good answer Suzanne!

*raises hand* I am a grinding stone so that others can sharpen their faith and beliefs. I am helping others to believe the way they are meant to believe and not just say they believe.
Most of the people in here with a few exceptions claim to believe, but when that belief is put to the test, they fold. I am that stone that tests that sword's edge. I put it to the test so they may examine if it is indeed sharp or not. I believe it is quite obvious who here is wielding a dull sword of faith and who isn't.

Proverbs 27:17-By iron,iron itself is sharpened. So one man sharpens the face of another.
This is talking about encouraging one another and incite to fine works.
1Sam. 23:16; Pr. 5:1; Heb. 10:24; Heb 12:12
We all encourage one another.

I agree, if I understand correctly. Religion has become a forum for prideful opinion. It's become such a "who's right" thing.
Faith should not be a contest. Just a belief. The sacred can't always be defined in words.

Sometimes I use that tactic, but not often. I prefer to think of myself as a polishing cloth.

I prefer to define myself as "chunky but funky".
