Okay , I understand. That is a good rule. So which part of my post that you just deleted in message number 1 violated the rules? Was it the part where I mention the two sets of rules in the left hand margin? Or was it the part where I say that all the rules may as well be together since all the Group Rules apply to all the Discussion Rules...
Or is it the part where I quote the Bible?
Perhaps it was the parallel I drew about bi-nitarianism and double-mindedness. (I thought it was a very good post... Forthright, direct, leaning neither to the left, nor to the right... could it be that my reference to ONLY ONE got a little too close to home with respect to other doctrines allowing for spiritual diplopia? Is it because I do not believe that the Bride (the Church) is the Husbandman (Jesus) ?
(I am trying to be very general here, I mean... if I don't know what I did to deserve having my posts deleted I'm liable to do it again.)
One God, One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism, One Person, One Truth, One Husbandman...
So what is wrong with suggesting ONE set of rules?
You still have not stated where I have broken any rules but many of my posts have been deleted and the content of those posts certainly leaves the reader without any clue about what I actually stated in those posts, or even whether indeed any rules were violated at all. Sir, I perceive that you would deliberately put me in a bad light to discredit me. First you state that this "Discussion Board" you established is "For Jacobs_Trouble" and then you state that it is not really ONLY FOR ME. You also state Bro_Bryans disclaimer as though it gave you justification to spit upon the heads of those who love the Lord. This is not operating in the Holy Spirit by any means, sir. The fruit smells a little funny... perhaps it is fermenting.
" If you are offended easily, or are thin skinned, then you don't wanna post here. We are endeavoring to give more leeway on this board. That means topics can get heated real quick. I don't want folks leaving the group, because their feelings are hurt. Consider this your warning!!! We got the message loud and clear, that folks wanted us to be more liberal on this board, well now you got it. I don't want nothing here, carried over to the General Board. That board is designed for those who would like to post without fear of contention. Thank you in advance for your cooperation." Bro Bryan
I would like one of those boards.... a board where I could post without fear of contention. I thought the debate board that the generous management of the Strait and Narrow Way had provided for me was such a board. I do not fear a debate. I welcome a good, godly and respectful debate. I believe such a thing is possible... without name calling, without base words, using the scripture to support the ideas and concepts put forth. "Iron sharpeneth iron...
You would imply that I have resorted to such words as "multiple", or "multiply" in my posts here, in The Strait and Narrow Way, in conjunction with the words "wives", or "wife" to promote worldly ideas. I have done nothing of the sort. I have not used any of those terms that way, nor have I satisfied any of the other implications that you have laid upon me except in reference by me in posts when I quote the use of such base and vulgar terminology used of others, and not myself. If you must censor, censor the people using such terminology and please refrain from using it yourself, if you would set an example. These are not words that I have used to put forth my own communication. They are your words, sir...
Where do you find me using words like "polygamy", or "multiple wives", to go so far as to promote such things, here, in the Strait and Narrow Way? or... resort to any other such worldly vocabulary and loose-minded drivel and double-talk here, except when I quote you, or someone else in this group? Where do you see my using words like "multiply" or any of those other things that you say, of my own accord or for my own purpose? Is it because I preach so strongly against fornication and adultery that you delete my posts?
But obviously nobody can know the difference because you have deleted the posts. Is this not a false witness? Do you sleep well at night? Of course, I realize that you could continue to imply that I stated such things because you have now deleted my posts to give the reader the benefit of the doubt and I suspect that many will think the worst. It is evident that treachery dons many faces and guizes. Does your conscience bother you at all? Is it also against your rules to quote the scripture as it is presented in the Authorized King James Bible? Am I breaking the rules again, because I have typed this?
I'll be praying for you. Peace be to you and your house. I am sending this to Bro Bryan.
From: JT, I can only think you are speaking of the post I put up in dicussions called 'If you knew how much pain your tounge caused you would nail it to the cross'
Is this the one you were speaking of? It was not intended at you. All you guys in there 'look and speak' in the same manner and I could not really tell one from another by your posts. In fact, I have never even read any of you posts that I can recall...nor anyone elses that comes to mind at this time.
I just put that post up as it saddened me one day when I went in there and saw the manner in which most in there speak to one another. Also, the management of SNW were not as concerned of the content and 'heat' of the messages, but at the personal attacks. So I went to check it out for myself, and it really hurt ...the total disrespect most had for the others well being.
I have been told recently on the main board that sometimes men just 'have it out' like this. Well, its fine with me[sort of]...as it is not on the main board where a newcomer might see the division. I understand the passion of 'having it out' and 'feeling understood and validated'.
JT, I have no desire to flex my muscles, and I have no idea what has been deleted or what has not...or who is even at fault for that matter.....I just cant follow it all, nor do I understand any of it.
I hope I caused you no upset, as I am not really familiar with the issues. Teri.[Oneness]
