All right, being a 14-year-old Christian automatically makes me a young Christian.
I opened up an Oswald Chambers book to where my mom had been reading this morning, and it told me to take a look at Matthew 7. It says, "(1)Do not judge, or you too will be judged. (2)For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged... (3) Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?"
Says Chambers, "The Holy Spirit is the only one in the proper position to criticize, and He alone is able to show what is wrong without hurting and wounding. It is impossible to enter fellowship with God when you are in a critical mood."
So there you have it. You may not have heard of me, because I still haven't found a good avatar, but those of you who do know that I am among the most critical people on here. But on top of that, I've called myself a Christian. That is wrong for me to do because I have not done a very good job representing other Christians, failing in the simplest and most basic of our principles.
I don't criticize people off the internet much. Coming on here gives me the opportunity to write, and when I write to others, I seem to cause a lot of damage. That’s why this is my last post here, at least until I can make God proud on the forums. I'm going to remove the plank from my eye, and enter the fellowship I'm longing for.
I can only beg forgiveness from God and everyone I've criticized here because it wasn't my place at all to be doing that.
Goodbye everyone. Peace be with you all.
