How much for the popcorn?

I share with my friends

 

[Caitlin.ann]

You might not understand, but I find even your username to be an insult.

I hope that wasn't serious.

Christians do not view sin as sacred, harlotry as holy or blasphemy as blessed.

Christians do not view sin as sacred or blasphemy as blessed.

And the name was thought up years ago for a different forum, and was indeed not intended to make Christians feel persecuted. But if you would be insulted by a simple user name on an internet forum then by all means, who am I to stop you. I'm sorry you both feel persecuted by it, or so it would seem since it has nothing to do with this site other than the name I go under here.

It is an offensive user title and you are on staff here, a Christian site.

What makes you think that a user name is so simple that it can not contain insults?

This site had on many occasions required user name changes as inappropriate.

By the way, I never said I was persecuted by your name. I do consider it an insult to my faith. God views sin as an abomination, why should sin be called sacred?

Sin separates people from God and brings judgment. That is the core issue leading to the cross. Having pagan mods here is one thing, allowing them to use names that flatly contradict biblical core principles is quite another.

I urge you to reconsider the name. Moreover, I encourage you to consider the One who underwent a cruel cross and awful death to pay the price for sinners. He does not call sin sacred.

No, not by any means. How can an atheist that doesn't believe in a diety argue apologetics? Or maybe why would they?

What is apologetics? Defending the faith against its detractors by refuting their arguments.

Without non-Christian arguments, there would be no apologetics.

In a Christian forum, in the Theology section under "Christian Apologetics". Yeah, I still find that funny How can you argue against something you don't believe in? Yes apologetics is the study of the defense of the Christian faith. I've found here...and probably in real life, people's minds are closed and they won't listen to anything that is said to them. They argue for game of it. *shrugs* that's why I only read, I never participate. I'll leave the Theology to the Theologians.

I am for now at least. I can not help what you or others take offense to, but my name is not in the least offensive or even meant to be. Take that for what its worth.

What makes you think that a user name is so simple that it can not contain insults?

My name does not contain insults, you are seeing things that are not there.

This site had on many occasions required user name changes as inappropriate.

And as of yet no member of staff has told me to change my username so no one other than yourself sees it as something worth changing. Why for so many years has no one said anything until now? I would assume thats because its not insulting or offensive.

By the way, I never said I was persecuted by your name. I do consider it an insult to my faith. God views sin as an abomination, why should sin be called sacred?

I'm sorry you do so but I'm not changing my name. I use it on various other forums and have for years. This site is not exempt from that. I can not help what you view as offensive, especially when most every other person I've talked to on here could care less about my name.

Sin separates people from God and brings judgment. That is the core issue leading to the cross. Having pagan mods here is one thing, allowing them to use names that flatly contradict biblical core principles is quite another.

Your belief and you are entitled to it. However, that is not my belief. Ironically enough I came up with the name when I was still a Christian.

I urge you to reconsider the name. Moreover, I encourage you to consider the One who underwent a cruel cross and awful death to pay the price for sinners. He does not call sin sacred.

Not happening and you're not appealing to my emotion. Your beliefs are yours and you have my respect for that, mine are mine and I expect the same. Attitudes however are a different matter...

...wouldn't a more accurate description be "There's no user name so simple that someone wont FIND an insult where none was intended!"?

Sacredsin, yes I was serious. For exactly the reasons Rep Daddy has posted here:

I don't think that would be a more accurate description. It doesn't even make sense.

Well enjoy life being insulted by the most minute things then. I can't imagine living in such a way but thats just me. Point blank, not everyone is out to get you.

 

[Angel4Truth]

Cant see too many believers who would feel safe discussing christian issues and being moderated by someone who reveres sin either.

This is NOT a 'minute' issue to us.

Reveres sin? I'd have to believe in it first. I mod the non-christian area so me not being a Christian is not an issue.

 

[Angel4Truth]

Saying sin is sacred is considered a mock to those of us who feel its the downfall of so many souls.

 

[Caitlin.ann]

Its happened to me more than once lately- and i used to be on staff so i can assure you they can remove posts and not just hide them from veiw. Ive had several posts just disapear - specially ones dealing with controversial issues. Even had an entire thread moved with no mod hat - no notification no anything and no one would tell me what mod did it.

I've not even seen one example of this.

 

[Sojourner1]

It's all in how you look at it. Maybe the name actually means sacreds in instead of sacred sin.

 

[Caitlin.ann]

You can consider a mock if you would like but it is not. So feel as you will, I can not change that.

I do not strive to make everyone nice and happy and I won't change my username to do so.

 

[Angel4Truth]

I've not even seen one example of this.

Whether you change it or not is a non issue to me - knowing that it offends people i would think should be an issue to you especially being a staff member on a christian board - but its the attitude that it doesnt matter what christians here think of you which backs my point that non believers dont belong on staff here.

 

[Caitlin.ann]

It's funny to notice the difference in tone people use to non-Christian mods vs. Christian mods. Like the argument earlier in the thread, you should read that, where people said that Jesus loves ALL people. He does not think that Christians are better than non-Christians, he waits for non-Christians to come back to Him.

Exactly. I've definitely noticed this as well.

Heading out for chores, hopefully the issue with my name will be over when I return since its a non issue anyways.
