No not at all. The issue is it is a personal attack and disrespectful which is against the forum rules.
As was noted the issue is disrespectful comments like this one

You are a Christian and yet you continue to insult and disrespect people who you disagree with when you agreed not to when you join the site. Your word doesn’t mean anything?
This will be the last post on this. I pray you see this time
The subject is the disrespect for others like noted above.
Spiritual truth should never offend. As you are obviously not interested in trying to refute what I wrote that caused offence to you, only criticise me personally, I will explain it to you.
Under the core terms of the NC, applicable law is written in the minds of believers and placed on their hearts by God himself.
‘’I will write my laws in their minds
And place them on their hearts’’
What does it mean in a practical sense to have applicable law written in the minds and placed on the hearts of believers? It means simply in a believers mind they must know how God wants them to live. They must know in their mind what has been placed there. They instinctively know God does not want them to steal, commit adultery, lie, take God’s name in vain etc. And, the law being in their heart means, in their heart(the flesh is another matter) they do not want to do these things. That’s one of the two core components on which the NC stands!
So, it would be an absolute waste of time to tell any believer, they must obey specific laws, such as the TC, for any applicable law is within them, it is in their most inward parts. Just as it would be pointless to tell me I should follow my twelve times tables!
So why do people keep telling others they must obey the TC for example? They are sadly looking to an external law written in ink, they are not relying on the law within. It is no longer an external law written in ink for the believer(2Cor3:3) And according to Paul a person can show the requirements of the law are in their hearts, if they have never known of biblical law!
So now, to address the point that upsets you. An internal law, in a person’s most inward parts, will always convict of transgression/what is entailed in obedience to it, to a far, far greater degree than any law written in ink will. That should be obvious.
Hence, I went to a church once to please a friend. They relentlessly stressed ‘’you must obey the TC.’’ And yet, I was literally shocked and stunned to witness the degree of flagrant breaking of those laws in that church. People were laughing and joking whilst they transgressed them, apparently unaware they were doing so. It is a different world to the Christianity I know. I have never witnessed that before in any other church I have been to.
And so, those who look to an external law written in ink, have only a shallow understanding of what is entailed in obedience to such laws.
As I said to someone else. The problem mainly comes, when people with such a shallow understanding of what is entailed in obeying the TC, tell those who do not have a shallow understanding they must obey the TC to enter heaven. Its good to care about the second greatest commandment, and to vehemently oppose people insisting of others what they do not insist of themselves. Jesus reserved his harshest words for the religious who acted that way.
