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 |

question #1 you said i don't like to be labeled I admit that that was the wrong choice of words, what I didn't like was being called a campbellite I do not follow campbell I follow Jesus. #2 I did mis-spell a word but you knew what i was talking about. Theopedia is openly bias! Their would be not a problem with definitions of words if the person writting would use words that are easy to understand. when you use uncommon words you have to look them up to try to get the meaning of what was being said, you get multible diffinations so you never know for sure what that person means. so no communications takes place. I would like to correct you on your last point, You quoted that I said I truly believe and determined that I was the only Christian on the forum, You miss quoted and mis-understood what is said. I said as far as I can determine. I have only been on this forum a short time, and interacted with only a couple people enough to know they do not fit the mold for a christian as stated in the scriptures. And I hope you will forgive me for mispelling any other words you might find. And Yes I am frustrated but not because people do not meet my mind or belief, simply because I see so many people that are lawless and speak many great thing about the lord but do not obey his words. See Matthew 7:21,23. Oh by the way your post was great, totally understandable. In Christ Fmp (Fred) |
