The main tenet of Christian doctrine?

OOps i'm a new girl on the block and i've typed it in twice . sorry -told you we all make mistakes (smile)

Jesus was the way to God the father. He is the way the truth and the life. Christianity is about love but we are not all perfect. the christian message is that we make mistakes and are not perfect.That is the basics of christianity.

Jesus is the way to God the father He is the way the truth and the life. Christian teaching is about love but we are only human and everyone makes mistakes. Its impossible to be perfect. The christian message is that we are not perfect .

Oh - and I forgot to say - Welcome back!

Agapanthus - I remember your occasional posts from way back - because of your name. Beautiful flowers - and I discovered this year there's a white variety!

Welcome Agapanthus , enjoy your time here .

Thanks for your welcome soop!

Goodness!cliques online.I am learning!

agapanthus Sometimes it seems we are damned if we do and damned if we don't. If several people object simultaneously to a post, the poster thinks it is a clique ganging up on them. If no-one objects immediately, then the person spoken roughly to thinks it is a clique who don't care what is said about anyone else .......

I think some of us are reluctant to appear to be stepping in, or complaining, on behalf of someone else these days. It's a tricky one.

Welcome agapanthus

I haven't made more than a couple of posts on Gransnet,but have recently started to look at the forums. When I read the very unkind and unnecessary post to which you refer,I was puzzled that no one had responded to it. I am glad that others have shown support now ,as as a newcomer I did not feel I should be the first to comment.

I simply see this as a forum, and I don't think that saying someone's comments are incredibly stupid is a wise remark to make. If you disagree with what someone says, then set out your reasons and explain why. A blanket statement like that will achieve nothing more than to antagonise those who read it.

dorset Is "little clique" meant as a jibe...poke in the eye...sarcastic aside? Friendships, have been formed as a result of members sharing and supporting each other through many experiences. Sometimes, within the friendship, there is friction and we certainly do not always agree with each other. However, I thought that your comment to jingl was extremely rude.

dorset I was shocked when I read your remark and I am certainly not part of any clique on here. What's more, I don't think anyone can accuse jingl of all people of being part of any clique. I just felt your remark was uncalled for and also out of character from what I have seen of your other posts, hence my face.

I can't say I've noticed any cliques on GN, dorset.

Lots of friendships and support though, which I and others value.

soop are you kidding me - out of order and unkind - have not seen any of the remarks that JO5 has said on this thread and other threads ? She has made some very unpleasant remarks - I've had three PM's about just this. Or are you all part of that little clique that is so prevalent on Gransnett

Jingle When I read Dorset's comment, I felt that it was totally out of order, unnecessary and VERY unkind. ...for you.

Unparliamentary language UK as per wikipeadia

United Kingdom In House of Commons of the United Kingdom,
the following words have been deemed unparliamentary over time: blackguard, coward, git, guttersnipe, hooligan, hypocrite, idiot, ignoramus, liar, pipsqueak,[12] rat, swine, stoolpigeon, tart and traitor.[13]

Furthermore, 'sod', 'slimy', 'wart', accusations of 'crooked deals' or insinuation of the use of banned substances by a member are also considered unparliamentary language (all attributable to Dennis Skinner).[14]

other countires have some evenmore provocative remarks,

How to waste time on t'internet!

JO5 that remark was right out of order! Un-parliamentary language or what ever. I have no problem with healthy disagreement but using an outright insulting remark is not right.

Jingle, we have got to stop meeting like this - people will talk!

I have been visiting my sister in Manchester, jingle, and took her up to her son's house in Coatbridge for Christmas. I am back in Switzerland on Sunday, and France on Monday, then I am off to NZ on 11th February. It was nice for my sister to see her grandchildren open their presents.

Oh no, you're not (seen other thread)

Thank you Greatnan and Anno.

You back safe and sound from your holiday trip Greatnan?

Do any of you feel you have done something so bad that somebody had to die horribly to expiate it? I don't think I have.
Jingle - I am with you on this. Not necessary and not kind.

If God's will is so clear, why does his Church on earth not know what he feels about homosexuality?
