Forgive me for lashing out.

I'm a little child in Christ's terms, so my head might get a little hot when I'm doing something for the first time.

Why hasn't truthbringer been banned yet.. he's so rude, and has been spreading lies.

Matthew 18:15 If your brother sins [against you] go and tell him his fault, just between the two of you...

What did he say that could be considered a lie?

Look in the Doctrinal Questions area, and read some of the 'Is God omnipotent and all knowing?' topic. Truthbringer says some pretty ridiculous things in there... even FresnoJoe laughed and had to correct him. He kept saying God doesn't know everything, God isn't all-powerful etc. and there is scripture to prove it. But he never, even through 100 posts, gave scripture. He just kept claiming everyone was wrong.

I say this not in anger, but to give awareness that truthbringer might need some extra guidance and help around here.

Ok, first of all, this is the General Discussion forum.

Second, what he said in this thread is not a lie.

Third, if you have a problem with him, I would suggest you ignore him. If that doesn't work, take your grievances to the Mods.

I'm not taking sides here.

I'm just saying this isn't the place for that discussion.

And now back to our regularly scheduled discussion...

A refresher on our terms of service:

Abuse of other posters is not allowed. This includes, but is not limited to, name calling, insulting, harassing, threatening or in any way invading the privacy of another poster. We also strongly discourage giving out personal information such as email addresses, physical addresses and phone numbers on the public boards. Any information given out in private is at your own discretion and risk. (Eph. 4: 29)

Debate the subject, not the person. It is possible to disagree about a doctrine or subject under discussion without insulting the person with whom you are debating. Also remember that the fact that a person disagrees with you does not mean they are attacking you as a person. Respect each other in the love of God! This is the main reason that threads get stopped, shut down, and even deleted! Users that cannot respect others will be banned. (Lev. 19:18)

Does someone have a link to truthbringers thread about omniscience? I am not sure how to find it and would be interested if it is similar to my view (Open Theism).

I Cor. 13 is the love chapter sandwiched in a context of spiritual gifts. It is often used for weddings, but it is most applicable to the right use of spiritual gifts, including tongues.

I don't have much time to add my further thoughts to this topic...yet, but I hope to do so later. When I have more time. Among other things my computer is about to shut off from lack of power LOL.

But I did want to say one thing...I must commend all you who posted here for not getting into an argument so far. That leads me to believe that there might indeed be hope for fruitful discussion among those who profess to be Christians. To be sure the thread got sidetracked just a tad with something about what someone else said on another thread - I read it too quickly to remember what it was about exactly but overall I am happy to see no arguments developing. And that is wonderful!

I will add more thoughts later once I find a plug to get power from. Although I may decide to take a break from internet anything and just go see a movie for tonight. We'll see .

Thanks for all the thoughts so far!
