The OP expressed a wonderful sentiment that June believes is heartfelt and genuine, which would seem to be in the best interests of this forum.
This thread was originally SIX pages, and 51 posts in length.
June deleted over four-fifths of the posts.
To those whose posts she had to eliminate: My heartfelt apologies, as some of them were quite touching.
To those who feel that this thread was editted or moderated with any denominational bias in mind, it was NOT. It was moderated in order to keep it ON TOPIC, in accordance to the OP and the Terms of Service.
Lastly, this thread was the second saddest experience June has ever had in moderating...
Please, read the OP. Post on topic.
The OP is about showing love and respect on this forum. The Christianity subforum.
Brothers and sisters:
Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God,
with which you were sealed for the day of redemption.
All bitterness, fury, anger, shouting, and reviling
must be removed from you, along with all malice.
And be kind to one another, compassionate,
forgiving one another as God has forgiven you in Christ.
So be imitators of God, as beloved children, and live in love,
as Christ loved us and handed himself over for us
as a sacrificial offering to God for a fragrant aroma
