My responces are in brackets:
"Are you the coordinator here too? Or is this Kathy's job? Because I want to know if you agree to Alan's dogmatic put downs. If you do, I'm outta here."
[Non_Christian, my message to Eva was not a "dogmatic putdown." I even began by applauding her for her efforts to expose TF. I then expressed the hope that we could agree to disagree. The only thing I criticized was the theology she espoused.]
"I understand that this board was for discussing biblical issues “including comparing genuine Christianity to heresies and spiritual abuse” as the guidelines and rules say."
[Yes, and that is precisely what I was attempting to do. Your interpretation of the rules allows for no such discussion.]
"As far as I could see there was no “respect for those of different beliefs” and there certainly was “preaching” and “instructing” and very little sharing of a “personal journey...“
[That's a very subjective viewpoint. If we use your criteria or interpretation of this board's guidelines, no discussion of biblical issues (including comparing genuine Christianity to heresies) would be allowed.
I've read all your posts to this board, and I don't see evidence of "respect for those of different beliefs" (especially if those beliefs are Christian) In fact, most of your posts have been quite belligerent in tone. All a poster need do to trigger an angry message from you is to quote a Bible verse or two, and you are calling them "arrogant," "dogmatic," and "Bible-bashers."
My posts, on the other hand, have often contained sharing of my personal journey, and I have endeavored to offer encouragement and advice to fellow board members.
If you are so intolerant of Christianity, if you can't stand seeing a Bible verse that supports the Christian doctrine that Jesus Christ is the only path to salvation, then why do you visit the Journeys board?]
