Personal Note................................................ Hi BradK, Thanks for posting the doctrinal statement of the forum. Always good to have a refresher course now and then. This really is a great forum overall, and I'm glad that we can both participate in it together. Have a great day! |

Personal Note................................................ Hello Hank, I understand that my views on Aniset are of limited value to you considering I have not read all of his posts. However, this discussion that we are having started with this thread in particular, and in this thread, you accused Aniset of making "inroads of cultism", and told him to cease immediately. I don't have to read every post he has written to be able to respond to that accusation. I only need to read the post that you are accusing him about, and I did not see any statements that went against orthodox Christian belief in that particular post. You also said that I had written "sharp criticism" of others on the forum. I'm not sure which statements you are referring to, but I have tried to not be offensive to you or anyone else. Please read my post 117198 again, knowing that my tone of voice is not in the least angry or antagonistic, but simply trying to reason together. As for why we seem to keep butting heads, it appears that there is simply a disconnect between the attitude that I write my posts in and the attitude that comes through to you when you read them. It also seems that you think that I only state opinions and do not back them up with any facts. Do I understand you correctly? You finished by saying that you did not want this to turn into a series of arrows, but wanted to come to understanding and resolution. I couldn't agree with you more on that point. I am very thankful for all the hard work that you put into this forum (and have for years), and regret deeply that you seem to be angry with me at this time. |

My answer............................................................. Hi again Colin, You asked me a specific question, and I'll give you a specific answer. According to the current forum guidelines, it is less permissible to write a post that says "Jesus and Satan were brothers" than it is for a cult member to promote email correspondence. This is simply because there is a rule against making posts denying the deity of Jesus Christ, and there is no rule regarding the encouragement of email correspondence. I agree that the second could be more dangerous, however, it does not break any current forum rules. |

My answer............................................................. Good question Colin, You asked what I believe an "orthodox version" of Christianity was. I would consider that to be any group that believes in the statements contained in the "Apostle's Creed". |

Clarification......................................................... Hi again Hank, You asked, "Would I want Aniset emailing a member of my family to engage in private Bible Study?" The answer is no. I ask, "Does the forum have any rules that prevent that from happenning?" The answer is no. I ask, "Does the forum have any rules that prohibit members from posting that Jesus is not God?" The answer is yes. I ask, "Does it appear that Aniset posted that Jesus is not God, but only a creation of God?" The answer is yes, in post number 117322. You asked, "What should be the consequences (for post 117322)?" My answer is that Aniset should be asked to clarify his post 117322 and explain if he really means that Jesus is not God. If Aniset confirms our suspicions, then he should be banned from the forum for breaking forum rules. |

Personal Note......................................................... Hi Colin, I agree that the forum would benefit by stopping cult members from inviting people to email them for more information. However, that is totally up to Lockman and not us. Also I wonder how they could eliminate this without banning all people from posting their email addresses. Do you have any ideas? |

Personal Note……………………………………………….. Hi Aniset, I am surprised to see you still able to post, for I had heard your privileges were revoked. I would greatly appreciate it if you would clarify a post of yours. It is number 117322 and it states that Jesus was “God’s first creation”. That seems to say that there was a time when Jesus did not exist. Is that really what you believe, or am I misunderstanding you? P.S. Thanks for updating your user profile, as agreed. That will help people to know where you are coming from on certain issues. |

Please type in the number 113147 into the "Quick Search" box at the top right corner of the screen to go to that discussion. |

Personal Note.............................................. Hi Justme, I am glad to get to interact with you again. I apologise for taking so long to respond to your request for my thoughts, but I have been too busy to spend much time here at the forum for a while. As for your concern about my referring people to other posts making the forum less inviting to yourself and others, I had not really thought about that. I am sad that you felt that your ideas were not appreciated and that pushed you away. On the opposite side, I was pushed away for a while because of the repetative nature of the forum. Some discussions just seemed to repeat themselves endlessly. Anyway, my reason for referring people to other posts is simply because it is a forum guideline to do searches before asking questions. I would guess that 80 percent of the questions that people post have already been asked before indicating that this forum guideline is not being followed thoroughly. However, I am also aware that the search engine for this forum leaves a lot to be desired, and someone could try to do a search and simply not come across a thread on their subject. Therefore, I try to assist by pointing them to a thread that I already know from experience relates to their topic. I am truly trying to help them. I do hope that they will share their own thoughts on the subject. I just want them to do so after being informed of what has already been written. I hope that this all makes sense to you and that you can see more clearly where I am comming from. Have a great day and please keep sharing your ideas with us all :) |

133 | Why does God love the world (us)? | Genesis | Sir Pent | 59329 | ||
An opposing view .................................... Dear Cynic, I must respectfully disagree with my esteemed colleague. John Reformed comes from a theological perspective that does not believe in “free will”. Therefore, I respect his answer to your question as consistent within his worldview. I on the other hand agree with the theological perspective that does believe in the “free will” of mankind. (Which of these perspectives is correct has been covered extensively in other threads, so please don’t anyone start it up again here). Therefore, assuming that mankind was created with a “free will”, it would only make sense that God who created them had “free will” as well. In addition it is logical that a God, who is “almighty” or “all powerful” would have the ability to do anything. This would include loving or not loving us. I see this as making it even greater that God does love us. If He had to, then it would not seem as awesome as it does to know that He chooses to love me. And then to think that He knows me completely for all that I am and chooses to love me anyway, that is even better still. |

134 | Why does God love the world (us)? | Genesis | Sir Pent | 59340 | ||
Redirection....................................... Dear Cynic, I eartlier incorrectly replied to John Reformed, instead of to you. Please read my post on this thread titled "An Opposing View". ...................................... To clarify my meaning, when I say "free will", I mean, the freedom to do whatever a person wants to do within the limits of their ability. And in God's case I believe their are no limits to His ability. ...................................... I want to reiterate that whether the Calvinist perspective is right or wrong has been covered in previous threads, and needs not be repeated here. |

135 | Why does God love the world (us)? | Genesis | Sir Pent | 59343 | ||
Personal Note ........................................... Dear John Reformed, Thanks, but the one thing that separates me from that view is that I believe that God chooses to offer salvation to all people, and equally lead them all to obtain it, if only they would accept. |

Welcome to the Forum ............................. Dear Steve, I would like to interupt this discussion to let you know that I am glad that you have recently been sharing your ideas with this forum. I have been reading the posts on this topic, and you have caught a lot of heat so far. I would like to encourage you if I could. Although the majority of active members of this forum disagree with your interpretation of the Genesis creation; they will probably agree with you on most other beliefs that you hold. I mention this because I would hate for you to get the mistaken idea that you would never find common ground here and decide to leave. Dear everybody else involved in this thread, The original question of this thread was whether a person could be a Christian and believe in evolution? I personally believe in a literal interpretation of the Genesis creation. However, I can also see that it is possible for a person to disagree with me and still be a part of the family of God. I think that is really the point Steve is trying to make. In fact, I would point to Steve as being a good example. From the posts that he has made thus far, he appears to be a Christian. He recognizes his own sinfulness and need for God, and he accepts Jesus Christ as his Savior and Lord. At the same time he believes in evolution. Therefore, the answer to the original question is yes. Practically this entire thread since Steve responded has actually been on a related but different question. Can a person deny the literalness of the Genesis creation and yet maintain the literalness of other parts of the Bible (ie. the resurrection)? This is a very good question and should be a seperate thread. I have some ideas on that as well. However, it is not the point of this thread. |

An attempt at moderation.......................... Dear Kalos and Steve, I am saddened at the direction that this thread is going. Number one, it has gotten off the original topic, and I would reccommend continuing this discussion on the thread regarding how Genesis could be figurative while other scripture references (ie. ressurection) are literal. Number two, it is unfortunate that you both seem to be offended by each other, when I think there is only a misunderstanding of each other. Steve is not actually saying that the Bible is true just because he believes it to be. Instead he is just trying to make the point that God, Himself is the center of his belief system. I think that you Kalos would actually agree with him on that point. Do you believe that God is true because a book (the Bible) says so, or do you believe the Bible is true because of the Truth of God? I think that is all Steve is trying to say here. At the same time, Steve, I would encourage you to be patient with Kalos. He (and I for that matter) have a very high view of the authority of scripture itself. During the short time that you've been here, it hasn't been made clear yet what your views on that are, and so Kalos is probably concerned about that. There have been other people who have challenged the truth of the entire Bible, and so many forum members are quick to defend it. |

140 | Earth was without form, and void. | Gen 1:1 | Sir Pent | 19987 | ||
Support, Scripture ............................. Benny Hinn was probably referring to Gen 1:28, which uses the word replenish in the King James Version. I do not personally support his view. I am only giving a scriptural reference for information. It should be noted that it is "fill the earth" in almost all other translations, including NASB, NIV, RSV, NLT, YLT, and even the King James for the 21st Century. |
