Bible Note: 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. |
