Question From Jennie
ertsky:
yes i think the next wolf that comes on the bt board may be in danger of death by lamb attack :)
sorry to joke on such a serious matter, i've been trying to find the balance between defending sound doctrine and being too intense, i have a personal trait of going right over the top on occasions. i'm trusting God to refine that right out of me.
as always the spirit and the body of Christ can help me in seeking to get it right as it were.
but after recent events i can see why so many are being vigilant, i'm sure in time we will all (especially me) find the maturity that God desires to bring us to in Christ.
f
don't get me wrong though i've got my eyes peeled
Kevin:
Well put Bobby. Icame out of a non denominational church myself. Let me add it was very small. Yet they still had the basic same doctrinal teachings of man like every church that I been to. I no longer buy, sell, or trade there.

Sorin:
Well put Bobby indeed. I agree.

You should get banned for that!!
No on on this forum is making a " generalization " of Christendom. show me one devout christian that doesn't believe in "hell " , doesn't believe we have " free -will " or one that believes Scripture, not the doctrine of men.

Seems like you just might have made one. Can you prove that there are none. Do you exclude christians who believe in universal salvation?
As I stated in my post it is my opinion. If stating one's opinion is reason for banning then that is a real shame.

Okay, so you are a universalist, and don't believe in hell, that's fine. do you believe we have free will? and notice I also said, " one that believes Scripture , not doctrine of men".
You shouldn't be banned for stating your opinion, as you say. but what you said about us " being hasty to gerneralize " was a direct attack.
Here are the forum rules, in case you forgot to read them.
This forum is primarily a place for people of a like mind to fellowship and discuss what they learn on bible-truths.com. Others are welcome as long as questions are respectful and carry no agenda. If you seriously disagree with Ray or Mike, please email them directly.
If you come here to teach us, please take your teaching elsewhere.
Please do not make sport of persons who email Ray or Mike. Leave any criticism of the individual to Ray or Mike. But feel free to express your scholarly views about the email, or any subject.
No preaching (including preaching via links). No name-calling.
Thank you for your cooperation.
I don't think saying things like " we on this forum are guilty of hasty generalization " is being RESPECTFUL.
PS. universalists understand that all will eventually be saved, but they don't understand the process.

I edited the sentence to remove the part you deem disrespectful, although I didn't intend such.
As far a being like minded, my reason for being here is basically a search for truth. I have little faith in the doctrine of man and have begun studying scripture to try to find it.
I do not believe in trinity, tithing or everlasting punishment. My views on free will differ somewhat from that espoused on BT and I have been studying that. I understand the concept of God being the cause of everything. My current OPINION based primarily on genesis is that we have choices within limits. God gave us dominion over the earth and that we are free from force to make choices within the constraints of our human form and the earth as our "playground".
I have no intention of teaching as I am here to study and learn. There is too much for me to assimilate.
I have a dry sense of humor and under different circumstances might welcome an attack from "babes in the wood". However, I also find it interesting that you emphasis the term respectful.
I am grateful for Ray and Mike for all they have done to put up the site and provide a strong foundation to challenge existing doctine.
I don't really care what your beliefs are but gave you some of mine to answer your questions.
I don't really have any real issues with anyone or any of the concepts here. If you truly think I am a wolf then you should clearly have me banned.

jennie:
Hey Feat, I am so sorry my questions made people angry with you. That was not my intention at all and I hope you will forgive me for that. Sincerely, Jennie
