1 | What constitutes 'abuse' on the forum? | Acts 17:11 | gracefull | 94499 | ||
It has come to my attention that threads are restricted when a forum member 'reports abuse'. I would like all forum members to clarify the term abuse. In the thread 93133 several MEMBER CONDUCT rules were violated BEFORE my post. Then after much proding, I posted a portion of an apologetic that offered scriptural interpretation and commentaries from men of different affiliations, for discussion and someone THEN decided to declare 'abuse'.Please remember that disagreement does not constitute divisive... Did my posts constitute abuse? Posting a paper for discussion that is scripturally based though in disagreement with the commonly accepted theology? Isn't this forum a Bible Study forum? This thread was suddenly considered 'abuse' because... 1. You were affraid of the challenge. 2. You feel that if you do not agree you have the right to 'pass judgement'. I wonder what would happen to the forum if everytime someone posted something someone else did not agree with, abuse was reported? The forum would become a 'dead sea' and die. Is that what the rest of the forum members want? I would like very much for other forum members to respond to this post and voice their opinion..should a forum member be allowed to 'report abuse' simply because their beliefs differ or because they do not like the discussion? God bless Ps the thread # was 93133 and my posts were # 94397, 94403, and 94404 for any who may not have been involved in the discussion. If you check out my post and find that it does not have adequate scripture for a forum discussion or is written in a divisive manner, let me know. Remember, disagreement does not constitute divisive. If it did, the forum should shut it's doors now. God bless |

Graceful It is a shame that we "christians," little Christs, don't know who we are in Christ. We are more concerned with some point of doctrine that doesn't concern the majority of those who hear it. You see we can argue what happened during the three days Jesus spent in the earth, setting captives free (my paraphrase), conquering death, smashing the gates of Hades, or we can shout to the heavens that He is risen and has given all of us eternal life and salvation and a job. But noooo we prefer to argue the letter of the word and not walk in and teach the spirit of the word. We spend way too much time telling others that they are wrong. rather than instructing believers in the life of victory. It will be better when we die and go to heaven. What about here? We need to tell each other what the word says about our condition here on this earth now as believers in the Messiah. We should tell the saints of God what He has done so we might be His intruments of righteousness HERE. His light HERE. His salt HERE. We need to spread the good news of the Kingdom of God to those who are still in the kingdom of dakness. Tell all the people that they don't have to be buffeted about like a cork in the ocean by an enemy that has been paralized by our High Priest, by our Brother Jesus the Messiah. We need to equip the saints for the ministry of reconciliation not confrontation. Show the world that the love of God is so great it breaks the yoke of all that binds us. Tell all the world that we are "Free at last, Free at last, Thank God Almighty we are Free at last" Here on this earth by the power and the might of God Almighty through Jesus the Messiah. But no, we of the forum are defenders of the faith not exhorters of the faith. Graceful, I want to tell you that you are the righteousness of God just because you believe. You are God's daughter (I think you are a woman, if I'm wrong I appologuize and tell you are a son of God) and a joint heir with Jesus. You have been indwelt with the Spirit of God Almighty. You have recieved a new nature that has wiped away ALL the old that you were and He has filled you with newness of life which is from and of Him. He has removed your citizenship of this world and transfered you and given you citizenship in the Kingdom of His Son. You have been given a most precious faith so you might partake of God's divine nature by His placing YOU IN CHRIST JESUS. And by Him and through Him and in Him YOU can do ALL things. He has given you the mind of Christ. AND BY ALL HE HAS DONE WE CAN DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL!!!! HALLELUJAH (a jewish word meaning PRAISE THE LORD). Take heart woman of God, leave these childish things to the children and do that which I have called you to do. Your friend in Christ Jeff |
