I repeat...The burden of proof is on you. If you want to walk in love, which is the highest calling, you will do everything in your power to not offend others...even those who "get offended over just about everything". I do hope and pray that you chose the way of agape love someday....
I think this is wrong. I think that you have to speak the truth in love. It is on my heart to speak boldly about scripture, and to fear no man. People that get upset have to get upset if that is what it takes for them to hear. If you speak the word to them, they may stomp off mad, but the Word might work wonders in them while they smolder.
Anyway, I think America at least has become a nation of cry babies that search for reasons to be offended. I think this is wrong. And Christians, they should be the hardest to anger people in the World.
Romans, this is just people having fun! Seriously -- having fun! Read the last 2,000+ posts! And even when it was serious at the beginning, we gathered around the OP and loved her and others here.
This is a show of community love.
Bless you!

I think you're misunderstanding the theme of this thread. This is a fun thread.

I think its a good thing to speak your mind, but.. if we want to get heard it will do us well to know our audience...for example..this thread... I'm totally offended that Covaan_Meshuga's PM notifier is BROKEN and I think she should get a new one.
I'm also offended that this thread has been inactive since Popsi missed my not-so-lazy lazy day!

Well, I am offended that you are offended!
And further, I am offended that I am still cooking dinner, and it is past seven.
And I am offended that I have way too much fun on Crosswalk, whether being serious or not.
And I am offended that I need to go check dinner again. I would rather be here, talking about my Yeshua!!!
And i am offended that there are so few posts in the G-d folder -- now, I really am. I want to talk about HIM!
Oh! And I am offended that I have to go to work tomorrow. (Actually, I'm not -- I love my job!)

I'm surprised you don't find it offensive that you are eatting way past 7... don't be slothful which is one of the seven deadly sins.
But now I am being slothful about breakfast (but if noone looks only m'love and I will know)

I choose sobriety in all things of God. I imagine that may offend some of you.

Humor is a gift of God, but a permanently pruned heart is a creation of man with a false sense of piety.

Well, it's better to be offended than to be offensive.......... or is that the other way around?
