A man cannot condemn anyone to hell.
It's above his power. That's God's job.
Exactly yet they still did it; they took it upon themselves to do God's job. However, their condemnation has no weight!

Hmmm. I don't know that that's so. But if you can show me somewhere in a Calvinist's writings where he's saying that another person has lost his salvation or chance at salvation because of disagreeing with Calvin's interpretation of scripture, I'll be convinced.
Or one can just visit this board which discusses the thological doctrine of SalvationI am NOT looking to convince you or anyone. You have the right to have an opinion.
If you need convincing, then do your own research.
Like tennis, it can take yrs to learn, just to keep score.I went to CARM to check it out: slow navigation, heavy handed moderation.
I can't understand CaliJo wantin' to go there from here.
That weight, in the end, is all that matters.Exactly yet they still did it; they took it upon themselves to do God's job. However, their condemnation has no weight!

You can easily check how many posts I've had in the past year....
And compare that to before then.....
And some here know that before, I posted about theological disputes. Check my posts in the past year (what few there are) and what the topic is.
I post - OCCASIONALLY - at 4-5 forums, maybe more. But I'm PRIMARILY at CARM (for the past year) with probably 95%+ of my posts there.
I hope that helps.

I lasted about 2 days with Carm before they booted me.
I started talking about Pesach, Shavuot, Sukkot, and got booted fast.
I see pretty much the same thing happening here. Just slightly different and different faces. I'm here because I like the format much better.I stopped posting on CARM over a year ago... but as I recall they would never allow you to do there what your doing on CF. Any criticisms of Matt or Diane S would be removed quickly.
I don't understand why your complaining bc your here posting??? Sorry just don't understand, but I haven't been around here long. I do appreciate the heads up as to what goes on... what I hate about American churches is the politics and it appears the forums have the same mindset. I had expected Christian ethics to run CARM. I was wrong. Diane S lies and then accuses you of lying... she is at the least unkind and intolerant of anyone who disagrees with her pet views. Again, if your wrong about something, she calls you a liar, then removes your post and leaves hers...??? just creepy to see Christians publicly acting that way especially when so many unbelievers frequent those boards.
God bless, andrea

The admins and advisors here have often commanded silence and forbidden complaints, too. Same/same. Higher ups here have also ENTIRELY ignored the rules and the protocal. And then demanded all to keep it a secret. Happens. I know.
I agree. I've been posting (WAY TOO MUCH) at discussion forums since 2000. Dozens of them. The people are often great, and usually I get alone well with the mods. But the owners, admins, etc..... POLITICS can get... incredible and very, very sad. Often they are nice people, friends even, but there seems to be something about seeing self with power - unmitigated power - even if it is a volunteer spot at a pretty insignificant website. Happens in some churches, too. Generally GOOD people, but.... I haven't encountered that at CARM at all, but it wouldn't surprise me. I've encountered it here - over and over.
God bless you, Andrea.

Thanks, I will look him up .
I have two notices by mods here one for 'copyright infringement' which I wasn't aware of and something else when someone complained but the mods were nice here.
If your an egalitarian, Diane S will stalk you and just take cheap shots I'm telling you it was such an eye opener for me to see people who claim to be in a ministry mislead, call names, suspend .
I'm charismatic Diane S thinks gold dust etc is demonic but she told me she was charismatic. Which I thought odd considering her venomous attitude toward anything experiential. But it turns out she's not Charismatic she just decided to tell me that she was . like all Christians are Charismatic. I just don't understand the point . it was really very disheartening especially since I found some wonderful people with tremendous testimonies. People who were imprisoned for their faith . other that had angels camp around them while a tribe tried to kill them. This person was actually more like J.MacArthurian theology (IMO) but he claimed he saw the angels and the people trying to kill them were stopped . his name is Tallen he wasn't too bad but he is a WoF hater. I don't see the point in hating anyone. Not atheists, or those in error or those I just disagree with. When it gets to that point, its time to check yourself not others.
CARM was so toxic and so hateful at times. You would share your heart with someone and they'd attack like dogs after red meat .
The worst was the anti-catholics, they'd let anyone condemn them to hell and back and not moderate anything . then they'd suspend the people who defended themselves for little slights. Usually it was Diane S doing it she is Slicks mad dog mod . Slick himself was usually very level headed about his disagreements just that if you don't agree with them your damned to hell in a heartbeat .
God bless, there's some wonderful people there .
So it's much like GT? lolI agree. It was terrificaly boring looking & difficult to navigate.
All that trouble to join a mosh pit? No thanks.
