Tall73,

I hate to tell you but that thread is becoming a Adventist eye gouging, hair grabbing, unchristian free for all fight, and everybody can see it. It is not a debate or discussion and does little to glorify Gods truth..

 

[tall73]

So...you mean it looks about the same as what was happening in the Adventist section?

Everybody can see here as well.

Lol Tall.

At least it feels slightly better to have your beliefs attacked outside of your own "home" as it were (even though it is still going on here).

Here in our forum at least there is a moderator or two at all times, and everyone is more guarded and christian like in their words and post, but to unleash a completely unregulated cuttroat enviroment fosters anger, revenge and hatred......I know, I came from political forums with even more emotions and even they had more decorum..

This is worse and accomplishes nothing as they will come back seething with hate, I am speaking with the voice of 'political' experience...........

There are moderators in the Theology forums, too, and if people are breaking the rules, you can report them. Just be aware that everything that Adventists may feel offended by is not necessarily a rule violation.

Adventist can rip off a ear like Peter with words that only other Adventist can understand........you know that is true. The moderators will be hard pressed to see what is a slice of ear verses a glancing blow.......

I could tear the heart out of political opponents twenty ways from sunday before they even realized it and leave them gasping in the gutter of opinion, but I have left that behind and put away the weapons of hate and anger, but now it looks like it has reappeared and the danger is not sensed.........

Shiites and Sunnis understand the power of the 'religious blood feud' and the devastion as there will be no quarter given and no one left 'unharmed'.....

To debate and discuss your beliefs is one thing but this is a fratricide 'bloodletting' with no winners, warning has been given and I will back away and not hold anyones coat in this blood brother on brother stoning........

Those are REALLY strong words and accusations. I haven't seen what you're talking about (although I'm sure you're including me in the mix). Would you mind PMing me a couple of examples where there is 'fraticide bloodletting'? I'd like to know exactly what you see that fits your description, and I would rather us be able to dialogue/discuss/debate without accusing us of a 'slaughter'.

Disagreeing with you is not attacking you. Plus the mods have said it's the proper place to be able to engage in discussion over the theology of the SDA church.

I will look for your PM so I know what you're referring to.

Keep looking, as you know where to find me, as I am busy as I have to be about Gods work...

Sometimes threads are not pretty. I admit that. However, you will find there are far more theology team mods than there are mods in the Adventist section. They have a team work on each report, and most of them are well versed in theology. I am also on the theology team so if they have questions about Adventists I can answer them.

But I think there is a bigger issue here. There was fighting and gouging going on before. But it was in the wrong place and one side was hamstrung. Now what we are seeing is both sides able to present their case.

What 'God's work' are you doing that's so important you don't have the time or ability to be precise in answering questions about the accusations you've made?

I've read ALL the posts. You've made the accusations. What EXACTLY are you referring to as 'fraticide bloodletting' from those posts?
