What to talk

[Lookfortruth]

For the most part LDS do not participate in these kinds of boards to preach our doctrines ...but those of us who do participate endeavour mainly to directly answer questions, correct faulty teaching, and clarify what we think on particular issues.

How is answering questions, clarifying what you think and correcting "faulty" teaching any different than preaching your doctrines?

Fact is, this is not a board that allows false things to be taught or preached. Which is what you are endeavoring to do, by your own words. Altho you do not consider them to be false, they are by the statement of faith of this ministry.

And this is why I am very refreshed to have found this board!

The same as DITC and CARM, and all apolgetics. To defend the christian faith.

This is after all a christion message board. I don't think anyone on this board minds if someone wishes to explain their belief as long as they don't try to sabotage our belief in the process. Can your mormon SOF any way line up with ours. Do you get members of Worthy come over and invade your mormon board and try and convert mormons, telling them they are up the wrong tree.

I will talk to mormons on neutral ground, any time, but I certainly wouldn't invade their church or message boards.

Thanks Eric

Do you believe that LDS contributors here have attempted to sabotage your beliefs?

I suppose it depends on what the definition of preaching is. When I listen to Christian radio the pastors are certainly not standing in front of their congregations and answering questions. With respect, I feel that you are playing with the word.

Slight misunderstanding here. The ministry does not encourage falsehood, but especially false doctrine. In your "setting the record straight" you promote a false doctrine in here. Rather than focusing on a false doctrine, we would rather you focus on His truth, which we know you do not have.

Again we are using semantics. Even in the main-line Christian reading of the scripture we are not to willfully engage in false hood. Differing Gospel beliefs aside, there are many falsehood taught on many Christian boards about what LDS believe and teach. In many cases I

When you teach heretical doctrine, it isnt acceptable.

And I cited where your false doctrine can be found. My posts then get ignored by you and others.

Paul,

What we are saying, is, that the mormon understanding and teaching of the Holy Bible is absolutely incompatible with the understanding and the teaching of the management of this message board and therefore is classified as false to the hearts and minds of true christians.

BTW, the SOF, is statement of faith. Read ours and weep.

I think I understand your point of view, are you saying that even to correct something that is wrong is teaching heretical doctrine. Is that correct?

Yes, I noticed yours and others doctrinal points, but as they did not apply to the discussion, I did not respond. In light of your more recent comments it would have appeared to be an unacceptable attempt at teaching false doctrine.

I am willing to discuss any doctrinal point, but not where is not welcome.

Thanks for the def. of SOF

So to clarify this for myself, the members of this board wish to be left alone to discuss issues amongst themselves regardless of the accuracy of the information being discussed. You are right our understandings about dialogue and other things are completely different. However, this is your board and the administrators and moderators are entirely within their rights to rule out this kind of debate if they so choose. So throughout this discussion I guess I have come to an understanding of the expectations a few people. We haven

Since my posts have been ignored, not just here, but on that thread you quoted me from (where another mormon ignored 18 of my posts at least), then it seems that mormonism is being promoted. Your interest has been to educate us, not learn from us (post 12). The one way discussion is preaching a false doctrine, and one that isnt compatible with the SOF. This is a ministry, not just a message board for an open exchange of ideas and everything that anyone believes in is A-ok. The purpose of the ministry is to promote the Lord. Per our SOF, not as your religion sees Him.

I asked earlier for a moderator to post on this thread.
