@missmuffet There is indeed a balance always to be struck between patience with people who are unfamiliar with the Scriptures and making it known that utter antagonism and blasphemy are not acceptable.

I agree.

People who are Catholic hold that their church is the THE church among many other things. This commonly causes conflict with just about every other Christian group out  there. 

I've encountered Catholics that believe that the only path to salvation is by being a Catholic.  I've heard others say that the RCC does NOT teach that doctrine.  

From my own personal experience, my impression of most Catholics is that their parents were Catholic and so they are Catholic, some go to Mass and some don't, and they know very little about the Bible.  

The hardcore Catholics are, in my view, cult-like with their devotion to the RCC.

I seen it as disingenuous to call it a Christian forum when it seems to be predominantly a Catholic forum.

Maybe he's trying to attract Christians in order to convert them???

Does he ban people who argue against the validity of the RCC?  If he does then he's definitely a dishonest actor.

"What do you call a church that BANS people who ask difficult questions?"

Responding to the title and not all that followed, I wouldn't call it anything.

For it would not become my issue to contend with, unless it is the local body of Christ Jesus that the Holy Spirit has specifically led me to attend, participate in and serve my Lord ;  but if it was, then I would simply try to learn the  policies there, find the need my Lord may want to use me to serve in, and pray praises to  my Lord for giving me yet another place to serve until He has me moved along to perhaps another place  or station to serve as a soldier in the army of Jesus.

But I think people can go too far on a Christian message board. 

I guess it depends on the purpose of the particular Christian message board.  Learning involves asking questions and sometimes those questions can be difficult to answer.  Sometimes even legitimate questions and opinions can unintentionally offend another.  

I know of Christians that advocate that abortion is not immoral.  Should they be permitted to share that opinon and their reasoning behind it on a Christian message board?  I personally find the idea of Christians support aborting as ABSURD, but I would NEVER want them to be banned for saying so.  I welcome it as an opportunity to learn their argument in order to compare it to the word of God and then respond.  It wouldn't be possible to influence positive change if we ban everybody that expresses unpopular views.

I'll tell you what I call them, scared and lacking in faith.

That's true.  There's a difference between acting tough questions and trying to antagonize people and it's rightful to ban people who persist in wanting to cause trouble.  

Titus 3:10, NIV: Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them.

The RCC is a cult. 

I think it is.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
