Bible Question: I'm sorry if I offended anyone.. I haven't been on this forum in quite a few months and BradK's response was the first thing on the page as I logged in. I did go back and look at the topic of the talk and watched as it progressed.. This is what spured my question to Brad. Again I would like to know how 7777 response showed denominational bias? yours in Christ chris4him |
Bible Answer: Hi Chris, As one who takes very seriously posting on this Forum, there is a certain amount of responsibilty incumbant upon all users. As a leader, I have far more responsibilities than I do rights. Having been a believer for 19 years and a regular on this Forum, I have a fair ability to discern. (I don't say this arrogantly) Basically, I made a judgement call based on my experience and insight. Additionally, if you examine the 42 posts made by 7777, I believe it's clear that he/she was responding to and pushing a particular bias. They may have been unaware of it, but they did non-the-less. Here's why: Having been around this Forum for 4 years, it is implicit that one read and familiarize themselves with the "Terms of Use" and "About Postings". I did, and most all other long-term users have a well. Posting is a privledge, not a right so, when asked by another member to cease from posting on an emotionally-laden issue such as Acts 2:38 and baptismal regeneration, you should comply. I did ask 7777 at least once to cease. Since you haven't been around for awhile, take note of the vast number of posts and endless debate this topic has generated. Many posters who have been persistent in "pushing" their views on this matter have had their accounts revoked by Lockman. This should tell you something. Essentially, it comes down to "beating the proverbial dead horse". Chris, it goes beyond mere fruitful discussion and enters into the realm of argument, and ultimately denominational bias. This edifies no one. I hope this clarifies where I'm coming from. BradK |
