I have been reamed by a very respected poster saying that I should stop saying I'm a chritian or i'm not saying christian things...Is Samsung known for this type of behavior... I'd like some feed back from others. If I ever offended any of you, I'm sorry and if I ever acted like I new religion better than anyone (which I don't) please let me know..I see a lot of things written and I get the gist of what they mean.. I'm not dissecting. I f my spouse is disrespectful , don't I have a right to stick-up for my self???...This man says it's not christian... Any adivce???

I was referring to the following post of yours:
"He told me he would repay the loan (lets see) but he has over 200k in machine guns that I'll get half of as well half of his retirement, the house, cars etc. If he doesn't tell the truth..I may not be so nice. Also since he's a Doc..he doesn't want physical custody or 50/50..just joint legal...it's hard for him to be around kids too long...I heard there is some compensation for that...Let him lie. I'll get the other 25k another way...If this is how he want's to play I do have and ACE card...can't reveal it yet."
What's the ACE card? Ruin his career? Something else? What type of blackmail do you have? That goes far beyond standing up for oneself.

This site has no religion affiliated with it. We are all whatever we are. There are all types on here. If someone isn't happy with your postings, don't take it personally. There are a lot of hurting people here, and things might not always be phrased in the best way as to be "politically correct". I would chalk it up to differing opinions and just move on.

No, this isn't a christian site (there are a few christian divorce forums out there, just do a google search).
I do not know what went on, however reading what Samsung quoted I do agree that playing dirty probably isn't the most Godly thing. However it is not my place as a Christian, NOR anyone else's to judge you. You came here for information and that is what we should give you. No one has the right to judge anyone else's behavior. The Lord does not look highly upon those who judge, that is His job. So if a believer is knocking another believer for her behavior then he needs to check himself. Remove the beam from his eye.....etc.
NOW, on another note, you do have a right to stick up for yourself. God wants you to act in a Godly way, so all I can say to you is pray about it, make sure that your actions will always bring glory to God and you'll be ok (AND He will take care of you no matter how nasty the divorce is)

It is true that Christ said, "Judge not lest you be judged." (Matt.7:1) Then there is the story of the woman who was about to be stoned when Christ intervened and said, "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone." (John 8:7)That being said, we are also to judge wisely ( John 7:24) and not think of ourselves too highly. For one believer to privately go to another believer and correct them in all gentleness is biblical (Matt 18: 15-17). God also said, " Do not seek revenge. Vengeance is mine." (Romans 12:19) Lori had kind and proper advice. Seek His will. "Thy will be done, on earth, as it is in Heaven." (Matt 6:10)

i dont find samsungs response to be christian or any other kind of religious response, nor do i find it to be UN christian or Un any kind of religion.
he was simply responding to some statements you made.
as for the Bible verses quoted those are true,
but there are a mess of verse regarding sueing (which is done during a divorce process) and verses regarding divorce (i dont find God is overly pleased with that either).
however verses need to be kept in context.
and some circumstances are beyond our control.
It's all good. like i said it was a response to a post.
not an attack on your christianity, lack there of, or anything else religious.

Actually Taryn, the OP stated Samsung had privately PMed her re: the statements she made publicly. He must have stated that he believed her words sounded un-christian or why would she even mention that? He kept it private until she made it public. Both are entitled to their opinions, as are you and I. No one is forced to listen or believe what another says. It is merely opinion. As to the bible verses. Of course they are correct. And notice my attempt to add balance to the controversy by touching on being judgmental and judging correctly. Samsung behaved in the biblical manner by keeping his orig. post private. The OP made it public. BTW, the verses you mention re: suing and divorce are based in Old Testament Law. Christ said He came to "fulfill the law." While divorce is warned against in the New Testament, Christ did say it was allowed in the case of adultery. No where in the New Testament can I recall verses pertaining to suing someone. Some verses in Proverbs perhaps. Do you know which ones they are? In closing, none of us can claim to know the mind nor the will of God. So, He gave us the Bible. It is for us to read and understand and balance what it says there. We are not to take verses out of context. That is easy to do. We are to look at the overall "picture" of what God expects of us. Basically, WWJD. Did Christ look the other way when He encountered sin? No, He confronted it. Gently and in love. That should be our response, yes?
