Subject: What constitutes 'abuse' on the forum? |
Bible Note: Hi Darcy, I must admit I have no inclination to finish reading your post beyond your statement... "You claim that you were being stalked. Odviously you did not read mine. Ed was 'stalking'. "All any of us were doing was going against the hell doctrine that WOF leaders use." Then where was the Biblical discussion to the apologetic I posted? As I asked Ed, if your heart is to reach these poor misled souls and you can't even respond in a Christian manner to the teaching how can you help them? Your expectations that anyone is going to listen to ridicule and opinions such as the one you stated here, which totally ignores what Psalm 22 actually says by the way, and claims that their beliefs are simply unorthodox. WOF people are extremely scripture bound and your opinions and brash comments will not phase them. To them you are simply a Pharasee protecting your doctrines. Maybe you are convinced your posts disproved something scripturally, but to a WOF believer you have shot out a few scriptures then resorted to personal attacks to make your case. Apparently proving how much you hate WOF teaching is more important to you (You as in several of you) than actually having a Christian Bible study with the presence of patience and mutual respect as human beings and as children of God. The apologetic I posted may not have convinced anyone, but your responses sure did not convince anyone otherwise. Your responses were, in essence...I don't believe that, I believe this and your belief is heresy..maybe you could be convinced by that argument but WOF believers will not be. I perceive that there is a lot of fear on this forum against the teachings. Otherwise you folks would not have so much trouble discussing them.. By the way, I noticed the same response to anyone whose beliefs do not conform. I suggest you guys will get a lot more out of the forum if you actually get involved in the studies without all the opinions and animosity. Even if you are right you will find your faith in your beliefs strengthened by the challenge. I will not be posting to the forum for awhile. I may still read to observe if anyone here actually LEARNED anything about how a Bible study should actually be conducted. Or if you will harden your hearts and not hear... God bless |
