Anonymous Comments??

Now really... can anyone tell me the point of posting an anonymous comment??

1) If you are attempting to be hurtful then do not be a coward and simply sign you name
2) If you are attempting to be helpful then take some pride and simply sign your name

Is this something that Jesus would do? I know that this is such a cliche statement, but really, think about it. If someone post anonmyously, it gives them the freedom to say whatever it is they want to say but with no accountablility.

Ephesians 4: 25Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another. 26 Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27and give no opportunity to the devil. 28Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need. 29Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. 30And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

The Bible calls us to have accountability with on another, as brothers and sisters in Christ. To build one another up and speak the truth in LOVE. Love, love, LoVe, lOVE, lOvE. And it all goes back to what our mothers should have modeled to us time and time again... "If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all."

I know I left a few anonymous comments when I first started on blogspot and couldn't figure out how to leave a comment!

I'm glad you have a post up now though so I can leave a commment I've been wanting to leave: "I LOVE that wedding pic of you two! It's so sweet!"
