Dear Fmp, Thank you for your response. After reading some of your posts, they puzzled me a lot and I would hope you may clarify my below questions. I also hope that you may retrieve the relevant post in order to avoid any possible misunderstanding:- 1/ From your post 235909, it appears that you don't like to be labelled. However, I would like to ask would you be offended if I call you a Christian? "Christians" was a label given to the disciples in the 1st century (Acts 11:26). On the other hand, why do you then label other forum members as non-christian with the statement "as far as i can determine I am the only Christian on this Forum". (Though you did not specifically said so, but the statement does bear such implication) Do you think you are not acting according to your own belief? I don't think labelling is a problem as long as it rightly describe and define the subject. I am a woman. You are free to label me "woman" for it is a correct label. You may also label me "Chinese woman" for I truly am a Chinese. However, if we meet face to face and I did not make myself clear and you label me "Japanese woman" it only reveals that you don't know me, but I don't feel offended for your ignorance for I understand that Chinese and Japanese have a lot of similarity in the appearance. Therefore, I would politely correct your wrong perception on me. But I certainly will not complain that you are labelling me! 2/ In your post 235909 you said: "I used wikipedia for the difinition of theology simply because it is non-basis unlike the web site you quote..." I think you mean "non-bias" instead of non-basis. Let me remind you,when something is "non-bias" does not necessarily mean it is correct. By the way, if you go to the home page of wikipedia, it says that ANYONE CAN EDIT the "encyclopedia", in that case, how can one be sure if the information is correct or non-bias? The unknown editor holds no liability to it. If anything I said proves to be my misunderstanding, I sincerely hope that you may correct me. Lastly, if you truly believe and determine that you are the only Christian on the Forum, you may feel awfully frustrated for no one meets your mind nor in accord with your belief, i.e. no fellowship will be expected here. In that case, what is your purpose of posting here? Shalom Azure |

Azure Oh come on! You are correct in what you are saying about Wikipedia but be mindful most answers that are incorrect are challenged immediately and corrected. Also it would be my guess most definitions are mere lifts from a dictionary or something similar. Also if a response in Wikipedia is biased it is usually challenged and corrected. I’m not here to defend Wikipedia and since Fmp6954 didn’t give the Wikipedia definition other that saying theology is written by man I don’t see the point in beating the horse to death. I still fail to see what FMP6954 said that was so offensive. He quoted a man Richard Hooker who defined "theology" in English as "the science of things divine It is a scientific study by Men not inspired by God, theology is what humans say about the Bible so no more credibility then a commentary .” Fmp6954 opinion was then related to the philosophy of the Abecedarians which distain all human knowledge. He didn’t distain any thing he simply said theology like a commentary is man’s interpretation/opinion. It was added this would be contrary to Campbellites which I take to imply that FMP6954 was a Campbellite or why else would it have been mentioned? Next you come along and ask him is he is a Christian. I don’t believe many of us would have reacted differently. Fmp6954 has been associated with Abecedarians then labeled as being a Campbellite and now he is asked if he is a Christian. Stop think for a minute do you think that might be a tad inflammatory? Azure how would you react if I asked, “are you a Christian”. Not in a curiosity type environment but one better equated to an accusatory environment? |
