1 | A distinction without a difference? | 1 Cor 12:10 | John Pilgrim | 115138 | ||
Dear Ed, please don't take my post as "gotcha!". My intention is to take this opportunity try to get you to see how it feels to have beloved doctrines suppressed and your own motives impugned by brothers who hold opposing pre-suppositions. The Pentecostal doctrine of tongues has been discussed very often on the forum. It could easily be said to reflect a pushing of a denominational bias. Don't get me wrong Ed, I respect your right to engage in whatever aspect of Scripture which you believe will glorify God and lead to knowing God as He has revealed Himself to in the Bible. What I want to know is this; Why was my topic on election subject to censure, yet your topic is not subject to the same? ID# 114949 "John The debate you seem bent on perpetuating has been ongoing for 500 years. Minds greater than ours have not been able to reconcile various scriptures on the subject to the satisfaction of both sides. So what is the point? Are we so prideful to think we have the answer? This topic has been discussed and re-discussed on this forum with no results other than anger and hurt feelings. Many a good contributor has left the forum over what has taken place in the name of this debate. In the name of Christian unity I ask you and all involved to refrain from further debate on this subject. EdB Please Ed, tell how the discussion of tongues is within the guidelines, but election is a violation of the same. In hope of a resolution, John |

2 | A distinction without a difference? | 1 Cor 12:10 | kalos | 115167 | ||
Correction. The last paragraph of my previous post should read: 3.2 : 1 3.2 "Calvin" posts by John Reformed to 1 (one) "tongues" post by EdB. |

3 | A distinction without a difference? | 1 Cor 12:10 | John Pilgrim | 115173 | ||
Excuse me Kalos... but your poll seems rather skewed. Should'nt we compare apples with apples :-) tongues as compared with election. "calvin" covers quite a bit of territory...don't you think? I mention election 82 times. Which proves...what? Now we're polling each other for the sake of establishing orthodoxy? How poll-itically correct. The lenghts we will go to...amazin' John |

4 | John Pilgrim: A question of deja vu | 1 Cor 12:10 | Hank | 115184 | ||
John Pilgrim: I need your help. I seem to be having flashbacks. It's them troublesome deja vu's all over again, as Yogi Berra used to say. But you can help me, I'm sure, by answering a simple question. Are you, who is posting now as John Pilgrim, the former John Reformed? --Hank | ||||||
5 | John Pilgrim: A question of deja vu | 1 Cor 12:10 | John Pilgrim | 115190 | ||
Dear Hank, The last thing I want is to stir up controversy over personalities. Suffice it to say that I informed Lockman of who I am before I applied for membership. I used the same email address as well. I'm sure if you contact them they will will answer in a way that is best for the forum as a whole. I have learned much from my first experience as a user. In fact I was certain that I had matured as a result of 1700 and more posts. My fatal flaw was my naievete. You ask me to be frank regarding my past, but in the past my openess was used against me. Anyone who has read John Pilgrim's posts, who knew me before, has no need to ask who I am. It is my hope that an un-biased perusal of my offerings will inform the reader that I am not in the business of shoving my doctrine down anyone's throat. What I am about is defending the faith once delivered to the saints. If that sounds "holier than thou", I aplogize. I don't mean for it to be taken that way. Have you ever been recieved the "left foot of friendship" from brothers whom you love? If not, I pray you never will. I can tell you, it hurt more than I thought it would. Keeping my eye on the prize and forgetting that which lies behind I remain Your Humble Servant and Loving Brother in Christ, John |

6 | John Pilgrim: A question of deja vu | 1 Cor 12:10 | EdB | 115197 | ||
John you have posted 29 times since coming back as Pilgrim John. Your third post just happened to be on election. Then by chance your 8th, 13th, 14th, 16th, and 21st also have been on the same subject. That is 6 out of 29 which isn't that bad but if we remove the 10 posts you made telling us how you have changed the numbers become 9 out of 19 or nearly 50 percent. John it is my belief you used deception to gain entrance once again to this forum. You ask for fellowship? That sounds good but let us look at the facts. You have come back to the forum using deception, instead of accepting blame you place the fault on your naivete. You speak of left foot of fellowship yet you do nothing to make amends with the people you literally drove from the forum not even an apology. Rather than letting Kalos’ research open your eyes to a problem you defend against his research. Also you apparently have disregarded notification that your privileges have been revoked once again. John Lockman has been fair with you. They have warned you I believe twice. They posted a public message that your favorite topic would no longer be tolerated. Then eventually revoked you privileges. You immediately defied them and came on to the forum with an alias. Once again Lockman revoked that sign on. Now 4 months later your back your third post is on election. When the person you posted to said they didn’t want to discuss this you began to bait them. And now once again your userid had been revoked and your violating this by your continued posting. How do you see your actions? Don’t you see a real problem here? Can’t you see your actions violate everything you say you stand for? Had you come back and had not began beating the dead horse named election none of this would have occurred. Had you not tried to bait another user into an election discussion none of this would have occurred. Once you been recognized had you stood up like a man, and said “yes it is me look I’m sorry, I have changed, give me a chance” I think everyone would have been willing to see and none of this would have occurred. However it seems none of that interested you. You wanted to discuss a topic you have been asked more than once not to discuss, you wanted to bait someone that said hey I don't want to discuss this and now you willfully ignore Lockmans cease and desist order. Doesn’t that give the appearance that you making really bad decisions? If the shoe was on the other foot would you want to fellowship with a person that displayed that kind of character? You tell me how is the fourm to look at you in light of your actions? EdB |
