I once had a friend who was like this young man. She was incredibly zealous upon conversion but I also watched her zealousness (without knowlege or experience) hurt several people around her. However you perceived my last post, it certainly was done for his own sake so that he may refrain from judgement over ANY Christian until he's at least gotten married, had some kids, lost some jobs, had some major setbacks, and the like. Until then his opinions, about how us "other" Christians aren't living for God, are worthless!



I have to agree with Picky, he's right.

I have been zealous when I was first born again, and I don't hold to the things that I once considered sacred, I was a religious fool. I condemned everyone who didn't line up, I didn't exhort or encourage, I CONDEMNED. My setbacks and failures has caused me to reconcider my position that I am not some big powerful christian that I once thought I was. I have come to see myself as having some fears, full of failures and unbelief.

Picky400 probably came from a rough part of town, his way of communicating may not be soft and gentle. His expression may look harsh on the surface, but when taken into consideration it can be looked at as a soft rebuke. We may not all say that he is right, but by heeding to his words it may just save some.
