Foru.ms - a new beginning and a fresh start (3)

I would like to see a defenition about blasphemy. What is blasphemy for one about Christ it is not for another. Maybe individual forums can define it for themselves... since they are based on different theology and faith expressions.

Philothei

This one we must be careful. I have been warned time and time again expressing my lack of belief as being blasphemy in the debate forum.

May times when making a point I must support why I don't have this belief. To be warned because of this is leaves me at a disadvantage when expressing why what I believe is true.

Ya forgot the last part of that saying

(and They all stink )

I find this extremely amusing; all this fussing and nonsense because of some changes to a INTERNET forum.
The name forum changed, GET OVER IT. Maybe Erwin will have it changed back or whatnot.
The forum is more open to nonbelievers and those pesky "Christians", GET OVER IT.
'Oh Boo Hoo, I iz leaving the site fer EVER cuz dat Erwin person lied and made changes without my consent and itz turnin' into one of dem secular forumz with those evil nonbelievers plaguin' our boards wit der evilness.' <-That is utterly pathetic. If you can't properly defend your Faith against criticism then that shows your weakness and maybe you should reevaluate your belief system.

But anyways...


Thank you Christians for giving me a laugh this afternoon.

Welcome another sock!

It's so sad to see someone say something like this. The only one you are hurting is yourself. Don't close your heart because you feel the need to be cynical. Jesus Christ can do wonderous things in your heart. It saddens me that you have decided to post this. If you feel we can not properly defend ourselves, then friend, you haven't read the whole thread. We are doing just fine. Thank you. I will pray for you.

Welcome another sock!

Excuse me? I'm not too familiar with all the internet slang out there. Mind explaining what a 'sock' is? For some reason I sense it was used in a negative connotation.

 

[No Swansong]

I agree. But the non-Christians are not the only ones guilty of it.

I have been called evil,

We are all Evil

mislead,

Imagine that, a Christian thinking a non-Christian is mislead. The fact is if you aren't a Christian you are mislead.

lost,

Without faith in Christ you are lost

the problem,

Not sure what the situation was but there are some issues in which non-Believers are the problem

incapable of understanding,

Most Christians would agree that without the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit you are incapable of understanding

etc...

I disagree with all of these labels, and I see these labels as a method of dehumanizing.

I can't speak for others but when I use these terms it is not in an attempt to dehumanize anyone.

I don't believe I am that abrasive, yet I still get my fair share. It is not to tough to see why some might lash out every once in a while.

The point is however that this was supposed to be a Christian Forum. A non-believer should expect to be told they are lost, that we are all evil, that you are without understanding if you are without Christ etc. Once this is not permitted it ceases to be a message board where the Gospel can be preached.

I think you're losing the wishful thinking! He may not change the name back, but take a look at the top of the screen! He hasn't (contrary to some beliefs) lost his Christian beliefs.

You may laugh at this, but the joy of the Lord is MY strength!

It's not a negative term it simply means that someone who usually uses a particular handle creates another handle to hide their identity for some reason.

Not worth getting upset over. It only means he made an assumption about you having another account under another name and hiding yourself with this one. Just one persons opinion. Those statements are meant as more of a joke than anything else. Welcome aboard by the way !

I apologize if I find this all to be laughable; it's the net. Words on a screen, I don't really see any reason to make such a huge fuss over it. And notice the operative word "IF" in my previous post.

Thank you for your pray, dear person.

Please respect the other members here.

A sock is someone who creates another account to flame other members in order to not effect the reputation of the "real" account.

The tone in your first post even had me believing this was the case.

If not, then I welcome you.
And please respect others as you wish to be respected.

You are welcome. Some have been here a long time and formed friendships . It is difficult for someone new to know that . You will understand in time. If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask. God Bless...

I take it to mean here that you are referring to what "we" think of Erwin's changing, a bit of sarcasm here, right?


'Oh Boo Hoo, I iz leaving the site fer EVER cuz dat Erwin person lied and made changes without my consent and itz turnin' into one of dem secular forumz with those evil nonbelievers plaguin' our boards wit der evilness.'

Again, you are meaning the people on this board upset over Erwin's name change. Right?

<-That is utterly pathetic. If you can't properly defend your Faith against criticism then that shows your weakness and maybe you should reevaluate your belief system.

I think what you say here is implying you are not a Christian, therefore resulting in the response you received from your statement.


But anyways...

If you've already clarified it, great..

Hey invisible trousers !!! Great name ! I just laughed so hard I lost my pants ! LOL

(I hope this good mood continues . )

We are all Evil

Then I believe I have that same right being the mirror of perception can easily change, I believe I am able to support why I believe this too.

The point is calling someone it rather then using it as a conclusion to your reasons.

example
If you use the bible to support these claims then be prepared to be called out to support your bible.
