Sandy,
I too worry about what the effect CARM has on non-believers. I have seen reports of non-believers very hurt by their treatment on CARM’s discussion boards. May this never be! Unbelievers need to see that the church deals with those who are divisive. My blog is a testimony to the fact that we have called Diane and Matt to repent and to be restored. I also want this blog to be a testimony to the fact that we welcome with open arms Christian brothers and sisters who call themselves complementarians. This is a place where we can passionately debate in a respectful manner but in the end we are to love one another as Christ love us. This is not a suggestion from Jesus but his command and all true Christians will have this love for one another because Jesus dwells within us.

This loving attitude is not displayed at CARM. I will not recommend Christians or non-Christians to go on CARM’s discussion boards. I am certain there must be other good boards out there who treat people with respect. We are not to support divisive people but warn them that the Good Shepherd will bring them to account.

Thanks for posting your comments, Sandy. I know Diane at least will be reading your words from this blog and I hope that your words will have an effect on her.
