NeedleinA Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 I'm new to the forum, I'll be the first to point it out. General question to those on the forum: How often do wolves, disguised as "truth seeking" sheep tend to appear here? I've been reading several threads lately where the OP seems more concerned with trying to leave stains and doubt on the forum rather than sincere "truth seeking". It is great to see forum members sniff out the bull in a hurry. Frequent event, every so often? Just curious... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerome1232 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Some are better at it than others. I wouldn't say it happens with great frequency, but now and then. Jane_Doe and NeedleinA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crypto Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 At least once a year or so it seems. NeedleinA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prisonchaplain Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Trust the process. Those who are not interested in dialogue eventually violate TOS, or become frustrated, and disappear.

Generally i prefer to wait till the costume comes off; sometimes honest questions and troll questions are too similar. NeedleinA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Folk Prophet Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Generally I see the wolves in sheep's clothing more as the so-called "faithful" who are murmuring, criticizing, advocating for change, etc. "Progressives" in other words.

Just curious...The concept of wolves is sheep clothing comes from Matthew 7:15 This scripture is part of the sermon on the mount. Jesus uses the symbolism of wolves and as the verses 15-20 clearly indicate who wolves are. Note that in the example of Jesus he is talking about the sheep of his fold - in other words those that follow him or if you will - what is a Christian? Jesus clearly says that real Christians are not to be determined by the doctrine they teach. But rather by their intent in saying anything. Jesus also compares fruit of trees - he says by their fruits you shall know them. The intent of a wolf is the kill or hurt. In other words the intent to criticize and cause the flock to scatter. The result of a Christian is a witness of Christ and the fruit of repentance. To bring together. NeedleinA and Roseslipper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
