Bible Note: Dear Psalm 25, Welcome to the Forum. I might suspect that some time becoming accustomed to the Forum and the regular posters might be in order before accusing some of "attacking" and using grandmotherly terms such as "shame on them" when your referring to adult bothers and sisters. In any case, you didn't seem to think that necessary. Perhaps a strait-forward education is in order here brother/sister. I'll keep it short: The majority of the regular poster here take the Terms of Use and the "About the Forum" guidelines seriously. When a poster comes along that does not take them seriously we usually approach it largely based on how the "offending" post(s) are presented. Sometimes it's simply a matter of redirecting a poster to the Terms of Use in order to remind him/her of the agreement he/she made when signing up. In some cases, this fails and a poster will continue to violate those terms (say, continuing to attempt to start a debate on a divisive issue- a clear violation) in spite of being encouraged not to. The debate (and it can certainly be called that) surrounding election and free will is long-standing. I can assure you that nothing you have posted so far and nothing you might post will add significantly to that. Furthermore, the debate has a history on this very Forum and can be studied by using the "Search" function. A good rule of thumb in an social situation is to watch and listen (in this case read) at least long enough to understand what is going on before drawing a conclusion and making a judgment about the situation. Hope this is helpful in getting you adjusted. God bless, Jeff |
