Some advice I was once given : "Keep on posting"

That’s a bummer that you received such a comment. It’s a reminder to all of us to choose our words carefully as there are real people with real struggles on the other end.

Don’t forget that Jesus loves you and you are of infinite worth in His eyes! And Jesus’ view of us is much more important than any poster’s view here.
 
I agree with your advice. I used to be one of those ‘joy of debating’ posters, having the last word and thinking the most important thing was being right. Now I’m skeptical whether any good comes out of debating. Most people’s minds are made up.
 
My goal in posting is more with an eye towards understanding rather than changing someone’s mind. I want to understand where they are coming from, and I want them to (hopefully) understand where I am coming from whether or not we agree with each other.

I figure, the Truth has its own power to convert hearts and change minds. Jesus doesn’t need me to do that part.

For me at least, this makes it a lot easier for me to post charitably. I don’t have to win any debates or arguments.
