I don't see what you see. Am I going to get blocked again right now because I do not agree with you. Is that called a fight. Is that being rude. I see it as the devil shutting down the Word of God on a Christian site because someone else did not understand it. And if I'm correct. Then Jesus could not speak here.

As of yet I find nothing in your comments that are offensive. I see frustration and a little bit of an unwillingness to the situation, but its all Good.

Your Allusions to Paul and Jesus are interesting, that you think this discussion is on par with that. Also they both willingly went to their death for the church. Are you truly counting the cost?  Can you say what needs to be said without aggression?

There is nothing wrong with posting a scripture if that scripture offends. But opinions, names, or insults or slights that offend are going to get you.

I am not telling you this because I am perfect, I am not. I am in a similar position where I let my emotions get the better of me and reaped the consequences

Matthew 10:16 “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

If you believe someone is out to get you, do not let them

Then Paul could not post here because the whole book of Galatians is telling folks they are walking by their flesh which is why they cannot understand what is spiritual. And this I do only when someone tells me I'm posting BS. Then and only then do I respond with maybe I'm not posting BS. Maybe you just don't understand what I'm saying. Or maybe you don't understand what I'm saying because I speak of the spirit and you keep asking me about my flesh. Then he gets mad and goes crying to the management. So it's okay to trash me but if I defend myself. Then it's me being blocked.

There is a huge difference in scriptural understanding between Jesus, Paul and you.  If your only defense is to belittle someone else, then may I suggest you choose your words and statements with deeper wisdom so not to disrespect someone else.  You can never control how anyone responds to you, but you have full control on how you respond to everyone. 

Colossians 4:6

Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

That one guy keeps telling everyone I will not respond to him because I have no answers. I told him more then once I don't respond to him because I don't want the site shut down. If you see frustration it's only in not being able to challenge folks to dig a little deeper in the Scriptures. If Paul said I have fed you with milk because you can't handle the meat. He would be blocked here. If Jesus said you have ears but can't hear. He would be blocked from here.

Okay lets try this one more time. A guy says to me I am teaching BS. I respond with I disagree with you. I don't think I post BS. Maybe you just don't understand what I'm saying. Now I did what wrong?

You need to stop caring what he says. Pride is what's tripping you up here. You don't have to defend yourself if your words are speaking the truth. Ignore him, he doesn't matter. Say what needs to be said.  Jesus told us we would be hated for His sake

Matthew 5:11 Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. 12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

In a very minimal way you made it personal....which is against the rules.

There's no pride. There were 100 people a day looking at that site. I was responding to protect the Scriptures I was posting. It's not about me. They are not shutting me down. They are shutting down the Bible.

OK--this has runs its course. Complaints were made. As ONelight suggested, what we prefer is to discuss displeasure in private with a Mod or Admin. It is not appropriate to do so in public. There are a bunch of good reasons for this aside from it being the desire of the forum owner.

I'm going to leave this up, but lock it. Some of our members have done a great job in this thread explaining things. Thank you very much.
