Well this is not right if "Hank" is "the Lockman Foundation". What association does Hank have with the Lockman Foundation - do you know? This would be a serious conflict of interest and would be most unethical. | ||||||

Abuse to Report Lockman Foundation Abuse Report Abusing Username: Hank In a nutshell, Hank chimes in on each and every note he disagrees with - the result is strife and undue conflict. I’m sure if his fingers could type fast enough, he would respond to every post, whether he agrees or not. His excessive use of sarcasm is demeaning and only incites posters to stoop to his provoking attitude – although I refuse to. Many don’t find Hank’s words to be seasoned with salt (although he does try, I will admit). Hank is very aggressive in attacking anyone who doesn’t embrace his believes systems – although he hides these behind the Lockman Foundation rules, as a pretense. His actions, esp. his conspiring ways with other members (i.e. srbaegon and others, I’m sure), are meant to lure people into conducting themselves in a manner that would get them in trouble with the rules. It’s unethical, immoral and unchristian. In my example, one of his partners (i.e. srbaegon) called a post of mine “illogical and cogent” – it was totally uncalled for and totally unprovoked – check it out. When I made the observation about srbaegon’s dishonest posts on an additional personal attack from srbaegon (and for which Steve (aka srbaegon) admits he was intentionally being dishonest about his posts), Hank conveniently ignores srbaegon’s personal attack on me and his dishonest methods and said “I” - the offended” - was the culprit. Can you believe that? That’s a sure sign of a conspiracy and hypocrisy of the highest nature. Please look into this… thank you very much Lockman Foundation and thanks for providing this forum – I trust honest and upright members won’t be discouraged by those who would bully their believes on others and even use conspiracy as a tool. Terms of Use (Updated November 2, 2004) FORUMS - MEMBER CONDUCT (Excerpt) * Limit content that contains known denominational biases that produce potential strife and undue conflict. *You agree to interact with each other in a Christian spirit, with respect and grace. * Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person.

Hank has violated these and other member conduct rules, here’s some quoted excerpts from various posts of his (btw: I’m sure he’s going to change his tune on his newest posts because he knows I’m reporting him.): “Go back and brush up on what the Bible says God did in the six days of creation and what He did on the seventh day. - Hank” “Hello, tduplechain - How crass of anyone to hurt your feelings by disagreeing with your conclusions!” “junemeskle - … Thanks a lot for correcting my unlettered and obviously errant "Protest-ant" thinking! And, of course, I know better than to attempt to refute or rebuke you or the infallible Catholic Church, because, as you say, neither I nor my other misguided Protestant brothers can ever dream of being successful at doing that. Everyone with a brain knows that the Catholic Church has exclusive rights to Christianity. ..... We're so fortunate to have you, O gifted herald, on the Forum as our premier expositor of truth, without which we would languish away forever in our dank pit of darkness and despair. –Hank” “CiY127 - … How did you come into possession of this rare gem of theological brilliance? - Hank” “Seems to me like a Bible trancelated by folks that speak American is kinda nice. Besides, I think we got jest as good Bible scollars as England does. Well, thanks a heap for listening to me and be sure to come to see us when you can. The turnip greens sure is good this time of a year. –Hank” “Why settle for the musty old Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek manuscripts when you can have the real thing, the authorized, inspired KJV! Makes perfect sense to me. – Hank” … and there’s plenty of others. Let me close with a comment from Hank himself: “You yourself as a user have the authority to report abuse on any user at any time if you believe that the user has crossed the line and violated the established guides for Forum use. –Hank” Well, I believe Hank has crossed that line and needs to be reprimanded. He (and Steve) certainly owe me an apology. - pcdarcan |

ATTN: Lockman Foundation Hi, could you please look into this... There is an inner circle of posters that is disrupting the Christian spirit of this forum. I have found Hank and Srbaegon to be two in particular. Hank is particularly aggressive and rude towards many posters - even going into tirades (its awful and awfully hypocritical of a professed Christian). They dive into posts that they don't agree with and set into motion a process whereby they lure people into getting either kicked off or having very informative threads set to restricted because they don't want people to see their conspiring methods. Hank and Srbaegon are out of control with self-imposed power - they are "forum bullies". Have you seen his sarcastic and belittling comments about the Catholic church? Or, his insulting comments about people's lack of knowledge of the Bible? Someone from the Lockman Foundation has to do something about this as I have seen so many of their posts that break the Lockman Foundation rules, it is undermining the integrity and intent of this forum's rules and reflects poorly on the foundation. I see that others have experienced the same attacks by these wolves in sheep's covering. Thank you for your time and help in addressing this. pcdarcan |

Hi Steve, Could you please elaborate on what you mean? Clarke's commentary was long and I had many elements to address, so don't blame me if the response was lenghty, I warned the readers of this. I knew the answer was simple, but some posters really weren't convinced that "the god of this world" is Satan and so Clarke's commentary which was used to support that Almighty God is "the god of this world" had to be addressed. But, I don't see where I refrained from answering any of your questions in this thread. Could you point it out to me? |

ATTN: Lockman Foundation Recently, I caught both Hank and Steve (Usernames: Hank and SRBAEGON) conspiring on your forum to cover their breaking of the Lockman rules, but they would have you believe it is I who did this. Also, Hank and Steve have been abusing posters, esp. Hank who often breaks out into tirades! You need to investigate their posts and not take their word without investigating the matter. I have many fine posts in this forum and on this thread, but both Hank and Steve try to "incite" posters to respond to "their dishonest lures". This quote if from a post from Steve below: "The reason I kept leading you on was because you were stuck on how great your exegesis and reasoning was." That's a breaking of the Lockman rules and totally uncalled for. I'm not sure what lead to this, but I didn't go running to report them, even though this was wrong. Since Hank was successful in getting this post temporarily restricted, I believe it should be re-opened and simply strike the specific posts that are out of line with the Lockman Foundation ground-rules. Sounds like a reasonable request and solution. Please let me know. I know you will decide in fairness, esp. after you read the specific posts below: Please take note of their most recent posts and mine in ID # 137058. Subject: 2 corn. 4:4 the god of this world hath b Note: Hello pcdarcan, Hank is correct about a little inductive reasoning. The best explanation for "the god of this world" to be Satan is the paragraph itself. The comparison of light (God; Jesus Christ) to the blinding causes me to say it is Satan. The reason I kept leading you on was because you were stuck on how great your exegesis and reasoning was. Steve Subject: 2 corn. 4:4 the god of this world hath b Note: So, you weren't being entirely "honest" then Steve, were you? Not to mention being "judgemental" of my sincere replies that took some time to research and publish. Seems like "repentance" for your dishonesty and judging of another is in order to qualify for "salvation"; thankfully, there's still time 2 Pet 3:9 ;) Subject: 2 corn. 4:4 the god of this world hath b Note: pcdarcan - Lay off Steve! Ad hominem attacks are not permitted. Look at your post to Steve. Who's being judgmental and who is setting the terms for his "qualifying" for salvation? Retract your post or I will report you for abuse of this Forum's guidelines! We don't play these kinds of games. --Hank Subject: 2 corn. 4:4 the god of this world hath b Note: Hank, why are you supporting what Steve did? He was dishonest and you know it! That is in direct violation of the Lockman Foundation. And, did you not read what he said about my post? Was that not judgemental? - Ad hominem attacks are not permitted. If you report me, I'll report Steve and you for supporting him. Remember, its all documented in these posts what "he" and now, "you" said. |

Hi Hank, Respectfully, where did I say "create"? Your previous post quoted me as saying: "God Almighty is everyone's Creator". I can qualify that by saying, whether they believe in creation or not. If someone were to say, "God is my Creator", I wouldn't have any problem with that statement, nor does the Bible: "Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker." Psalm 95:6 (NIV) I don't know of anyone who would castigate David for calling the Lord our "Maker", even though David wasn't directly created by God. I think we are saying the same thing Hank but maybe its a misunderstanding of what I actually said in the post? |

I do believe that you are going to any extent to not except the fact that Satan is "the god of this world". You already acknowledged in your other post dealing with the rebuttal to Clarke's commentary, that Clarke was wrong on some of his conclusions - that's what you posted. Clarke doesn't sound like a go-to guy for an understanding of 2 Cor 4:4. I'll let the other readers decide from the many posts whether the Bible supports Satan as being "the god of this world", because I know I'm not going to convince you. |

Hank, since you chimed in under this thread of 2 Cor 4:4, who is "the god of this world" that the Apostle Paul speaks about "blinding the minds of the unbelievers"? |

15 | 2 corn. 4:4 the god of this world hath b | 2 Cor 4:1 | pcdarcan | 137048 | ||
These scriptures don't support the notion that 2 Cor 4:4 pertains to God Almighty. The scriptural evidence that I have supplied in these posts is overwhelmingly in support of Satan being "the god of this world". Not sure why anyone would try to ignore this fact, Paul certainly didn't. On your comment about 2 Pet 3:9, aren't believers already saved? I don't agree with your accessment about the context of 2 Pet 3:9 - its just another example of pieces of the puzzle that just don't fit. |

True... that is a more precise statement. And, while its true, descendants of Adam and Eve are products of procreation, we are all here because of God's creation of mankind. All of us are here because God created man and woman, our first parents. Interestingly, the Bible doesn't find it necessary to split hairs about calling God the creator of all things: "You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being." Rev 4:11 (NIV) |

What I'm saying is that God is not their "god", Creator yes, but certainly not their personal God in the way he is a believer's personal God. They have chosen not to worship God - thus, God is not Satan's god, nor the demon's god and certainly not their Savoir. So, even though they don't worship God, they will be held accountable to Him. (James 2:19, Rev. 20:2,3 and 10) So, although God Almigthy is everone's Creator, he isn't everyone's personal God and Savoir. Does this answer your question? If not, perhaps the other posts in this thread under 2 Cor 4:4 may help? Thanks Colin. |

God doesn't arbitrarily harden anyone's heart; I believe you are taking this application directed to the unbelieving Jewish leaders and literally applying this. A person hardens their own heart toward God (like the unreceptive Jews) and the result is the same. Due to God's requirements and their lack of recongition of his Son and even their outward expressions of enmity with God results in a hardened heart. God isn't going to change their heart condition miraculously - he allows it to be hardened, if that is their choice. However, anyone can turn around and get their sins blotted out. "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord" - Acts 3:19 (NIV). [Question from poster] You said: "God is looking for opportunities to open every person's eyes" Chapter and verse please. Answer: Acts 10:34 and 2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." God's desire is simple: for "everyone to come to repentance". |

Good idea... this will help others to follow the logic of the threads leading out of the Clarke rebuttal post, thus making it easier to look up the scriptural references... thank you Steve. | ||||||

And me too! By golly, going around attributing God Almighty to being "the god of this world" who "blinds the minds of the unbelievers" needs to be addressed and you are correct in doing so! - I have appreciated your scriptural support and stance on this. It's not a trivial matter, for it wouldn't have been included in the Bible. And, the Apostle Paul didn't trivilize or play down this fact either, as we recognize when we read the complete letter of 2 Cor. Only seven paragraphs before warning about "the god of this world" who "blinds the minds of unbelievers" Paul warns: "in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes." (2 Cor 2:11) Its crystal clear that Paul (amongst other things) certainly had the crafty Satan on his mind when writing this letter and all that have read my post about the internal evidences in 2 Cor. pointing to Satan, as "the god of this world" have additional proofs to consider. There is certainly far more scriptural evidence proving Satan to be "the god of this world" as opposed to God Almighty and apparently most Bible translators recognize this fact, for as you have stated, "the god of this world" is by and large tranlated small "g", but later in the same verse, as capital "G" for God Almighty. |
