Where is the rule against discussion of the Trinity. I can't find it.

[Rita]

Thank you @GodsGrace

Strangely, scripture study cannot happen when certain scriptures are not included. The first mark of a bad doctrine is that a bad doctrine is not permitted to be discussed.

"Bible believing Christians" should certainly know that God gives truth - not message board posts. The messages are intended to cause us to search the scriptures for ourselves and ask God for confirmation of the truth.

I gave you a like on paragraph 2.
On paragraph 1, I'd have much to say,,,,
but will refrain.

Or you could read my post just above this....(To Johann).

Johnann,,,
The job of a moderator is not to SIFT THE TRUTH.

Their job is really just to keep the peace and allow for good conversation.

Now, every forum has its own way of moderating...and I won't get into that...
however, if we don't LIKE how a forum is moderated, it's our prerogative to leave that forum.

OR

We get adjusted to it and post as the rules require.

There's a reason why the Trinity should not and, in this case, cannot be discussed.
It's a debate that should not even exist between "Christians"
and
It creates a lot of disorder and requires too much moderating time.

And, remember...
The bible is supposed to tell us the truth...
NOT
The moderators of a forum.

Get you reading specks on-or perhaps you have a problem with reading comprehension.

Get it?

No, God is supposed to give us truth. A forum is a place where we discover issues that require out attention and study.

Isn't that what I said??
God gives us the truth.
A forum is for DISCUSSION...
IF
you read something that interests you,,,you can then go ahead and study it.

You're a very insulting person Johann.
You're nice one day,
Angry one day,
Snarky one day,,,

then you speak of balance of this forum.

Funny stuff goes on with human-kind.

But, let me say this.
I have no problem with reading comprehension...

There is a great deal that could be said about paragraph 1, but we have only to look around at all the different denominations to realize that we separate from each other in our doctrines for a reason. Doctrines are not permitted to be studied if there is an issue with them.

OK
But, let's put it this way:
Are there some beliefs that cause one to be able to be defined as Christian?
I think there are....

It's one thing to discuss a doctrine....
It's another thing to discuss and deny what allows one to be defined as Christian.

Well, respectfully, I must mention that you said the bible gives us truth. There is a major difference between a bible giving us truth and God giving it.

@Rita no favorites-and @GodsGrace need a pair of specks. That or poor reading comprehension.

1Jn 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
1Jn 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
1Jn 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
1Jn 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
1Jn 4:5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
1Jn 4:6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

Gal 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
Gal 1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

So you're one of those lucky Christians that speaks directly to God?

I don't mean to be disrespectful...
I just never understood this.

God has give to ME personal knowledge that applies ONLY to me....
This is because I feel that God has spoken to ME about some issue and, by heeding HIS words TO ME,
I've been able to overcome something or other and/or to understand something better.

What has God told, without the bible, to ANYONE that could be disseminated among ALL Christians??

IOW, What do YOU know that I cannot know?

The above has nothing to do with the discussion about forums OR what the job of a moderator is
OR, for that matter,,,,nothing at all in this thread.

We ALL believe that Jesus Christ came in the flesh.
AND
I happen to be a traditional Christian and believe ALL of the creeds.

And it's good that you put me on ignore...it's really difficult to post to you.

PS
Let me also say that @Rita did NOT give me a like because I'm favoured....
but because I took away the responsibility YOU placed on her:
The responsibility of sifting God's word as a moderator...
No moderator has this responsibility....
The responsibility lies with God and/or His word.

Sigh. And this is why we were told growing up not to discuss religion and politics in polite company.

 

[St. SteVen]

The first mark of a bad doctrine is that a bad doctrine is not permitted to be discussed.

I would say that is a poor measure for whether a doctrine is "bad".

I agree.
Jonhnannan seeks to bring censorship of free speech to the forum.

This is a discussion board. If we all believed the same thing, what would we have to discuss?
