Bible Note: Hi, Aixen7z4! " "Note to viewers:" I have wondered myself... some of the arguments that are closed are not openly hostile or sectarian--I guess that the moderators have had previous encounters with the material being present... "This thread has been temporarily restricted from appearing on the homepage…". " Point of view... it is such a simplistic phrase with sooooo much weight! I have been in forums where "Christians" spout racist ideologies guised in religious or patriotic fervor... I have been censured while speaking against boasting about arms... I have been gang-bashed for presenting a Biblical text... I have been interrogated about my personal religious beliefs... I have been ignored when asked to maintain a direct email connection ("to further our Bible Study")... I have been called ignorant because I believe that Christ is God! The underlining issue has always been "point of view!" I cannot make a statement on why this particular thread has been restricted--it would be nice to have a personal note sent by the operative explaining his/her action and why it had to be addressed in such format... that is another world, utopia I think they call it! "I am bothered by the way the simple, the uneducated, and the non-Christian are treated here" I share your sentiments... I have seen it here and in other forums... but I am not a monitor/moderator so I cannot impose rule upon those who I feel are being curt, condescending, and impatient. I can only strive to present a different perspective for the person posting their concerns. I must confess that when I read posts that openly contest Christ's Divinity my patience runs thin--I may respond in a confrontational manner but I use the Bible, not my personal religious beliefs, to counter the statements. We have to be cognizant of Jesus' Word: "Father I do not ask you to remove them from the world; I ask that you keep them save from the world." (Paraphrased) Though we will not find Heaven on earth, Jesus call is to obey Him and serve Him: "If your righteousness is not greater than the Masters of the Law, Sadducees, Pharisees, you cannot be my disciples." (again, paraphrased) "a sermonette" What I mean is that I do not attempt to sway the reader to join my denomination. I present the Gosple as clear and as candid as I can without introducing sectarianism bias. I pray to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, that His Word may be let known to the world, and that instruments such as you, myself, other members of this forum, and Biblical forums as this one, may be perfected through the Grace and Power of the Holy Spirit. God Bless! Angel |
