Jesse, Miles, Jeff, Micah....the qualifications to post in this doctrine section were supposed to be "in house" - while I certainly don't mind SERIOUS questions from unbelievers here, there seems to be a trend beginning here as well, in that they are disrupting discussions with improper jokes and profanity. Is there a way to prevent this?
I love the world view debating thread, and it worked for a while, like a week or so. But they can't seem to understand that this board is not just for them, believers on here whould like to have discussions as well WITHOUT being interrupted and ridiculed by those with differing beliefs. Valentine and MOrluna have both violated the qualifications to post in this section, and just wondering if that would be allowed to continue. I enjoy this section most of all, and would hate to "lose it" to a few who want to contaminate every single area of this board spouting their venom.
thanks....if anyone else agrees, or disagreed (OTHER THAN UNBELIEVERS) please let me know how others are feeling about this....

Alright, I'm sorry I dirtied up your precious "Members Only" sub forum.
I'll go away now. The "alcohol" and "abortion" threads enticed me in. I really have no interest in your other threads here, so I'll leave you to them. Delete my posts here if you like, whatever.

If you want to discuss abortion, start a thread in the World View and I will go at it with you But things get off track in this section and becomes identical to the world view thread. I have much to learn and really want to learn from my brothers and sisters in the Lord in a setting that isn't bombarded with outside questions or issues that get things off tangent. I am glad you understand. I'll be waiting for the abortion thread..I have much to say on that subject

Ditto-ing Morluna. And nice to see that our opinions as "UNBELIEVERS" do not have merit--and by the way, I dispute your use of the term as I believe in many things, just not your narrow-minded worldview.
I post when there is ignorance, in hopes of correcting that ignorance. Honestly, the attitude expressed here is really one of fear, as evidenced by your apocalyptic diction. ("Contaminate"? I wasn't aware that I had a contagious disease.) And as Morluna pointed out, most of the discussions here are of absolutely no interest to me. Enjoy discussing how much you agree with one another. The "goat" needs to go back to her appreciation of mathematics final project now. Mmmm homeomorphism.

You;re correct on one thing, Valentine... your use of the word "opinions"....
That's all you have.
You have no solid facts alinged WITH truth.
The god of this world (satan) has blinded you.
Opinions...
Sad.

Good quote about Truth:
"Science offers big answers to small questions, religion offers small answers to big questions."
Both are sources of Truth

Thanks though.

I certainly don't mind SERIOUS questions from unbelievers here. I would just like to say that whenever an "unbeliever" asks a question, serious or otherwise, they never get a response. All most "believers" do is say the "unbelievers" are wrong and tell them to repent.

i like how christians' opinions are truths, and everyone else's opinions are still opinions. This is due to the views we have are based on the Word of God, which is the only truth there is in this world and are not our own, generally speaking that is.

So wait... let's tally this up. We've been classified as a good number of animals at this point:
1) Heathen swine (my personal favorite) 2) Goats (aww... I like baby goats) 3) and now... flies!
Can we be serpents too? Personally I LOVE snakes. I want a pet one... they're soooo cute. I'll name him Lucifer. xDDD

I personally use the term believers and unbelievers because unfortunately, the word Christian doesn't mean what it used to mean. Today it means I believe in God. Not that you follow or obey him, or surrender your will to him. Just believe in Him - and James tells us even the demons believe, but they will still be in hell.
There are literally millions of unbelievers in church as well guys. They are unblievers because they have no fruit, or evidence, or a saving faith. It is about avoiding hypocrisy. I tell a person in church who knows the Bible and goes each week they are going to hell if they don't repent too. So, it isn't just you guys.
Goats and sheep are Biblical terms Jesus Himself used. I think if He used them, I can as well. And Jesus DID call unbelievers snakes Morluna, kinda funny you mentioned that. Brood of vipers actually. "Gentle Jesus Meek and Mild" was pretty ticked off at hypocrisy too in His day and made it known! I just love that about Him!
