God loves it when people who claim His names use His word to serve our fleshly desires...Thanks. We will never agree about this and probably don't agree on much about Christianity either. I don't consider Tim Keller to be Bible believing Christian after his open and affirming stance, and now I will probably get attacked for that so hopefully not because that will be a whole nother wormhole. But I get what you are saying about the fruit of the spirit. I listen to voddie baucham, ken ham, Alistair Begg, John MacArthur, Beckett cook, Milo and others as well as my own seminary education. I'll try to be "nice" (although I don't see that as a Christian value), people in society like it. Back to football. Thanks again and we shall now as elsa says "let it go"
Of course we all know who have studied the word that what bothered Jesus more than anything waa the hypocrisy of the Pharisees. Religious leaders of that time. These were men who people trusted for Godly council. Not quite the same as a 19 year old deciding to go to a different college. Being unkind towards those kids making those decisions is not the same as how Jesus dealt with the Pharisees. Not even close.
But don't take my word for it. Seek Godly council because somewhere along the line you have misunderstood the message of the gospel.
Here is a great sermon series from Tim Keller on the fruit of the Spirit. It really helped shaped my walk and my understanding of the fruit of the Spirit and what Godly kindness looks like.

I am not always where I should be and sometimes react to harshly when I have strong opinions. If I did that towards you with that whole thing. I do apologize.
With that, this is my last response to you about this. I do hope you look back at some of the things you've said and see how damaging it can be for the cause of Christ. Especially for non-believers that may be lurking on this forum.
