I will use an example.....Are Catholics accepted here as fully orthodox? Are they free to speak doctrine as do other religious groups? My impression so far is, they are not.

Well honestly the Catholic Church has major baggage and quite frankly step outside the understanding of Biblical understandings of Scripture.

1. The inquisition put to death millions of "Bible" believing Christians in the name of Jesus!
2. Due to these actions, many of the actions that targeted Jews in the "name" of Jesus makes it difficult even to this day to reach the Jewish people for the Gospel.
3. The worship of Mary is contrary to the Bible and has instituted idolatry.
4. The worship of "saints" and "praying" to saints is a form of idolatry.
5. Papal "infallibility" is outside the realm of Biblical understanding.

However, there are many issues we can agree on:

1. Definition of marriage.
2. Understanding the definition of life.

So do Catholics have "freedom" to speak their doctrine.  If it's contrary to the Bible -- then of course you're going to find opposition on the forums!

I believe Kwik has a valid point.  There are a lot of people who read and agree to abide by our  Statement of Faith only to post something entirely different.   Putting them as seekers will allow them to ask questions, and hopefully get the truth by believers.  

I would like to see the "Options" button back so if something is so blatenley untruthful it can be hidden until a board moderator and fix it. 

People don't have to "abide" by our Statement of Faith to post on the forums.  They have to abide by our "Terms of Service".

The "hiding" of threads doesn't change minds!  It only hides what needs to be discussed in order to come to the truth.

Can we still not know how it works? Give some individuals a little bit of power and it could be a disaster.

This is why we have the level of accountability across the ministry and why we are transparent.

I like the transparency aspect as it informs the readers what happened;

that the Mods did indeed get involved and are actively protecting the site;

and it lets us know that Admin is serious about the ToS and not showing favoritism.
