Greetings Christians

Thank you all for the welcome, I truly pray this will be the start of a long positive relationship, after all, this is not just about having fun on a debating Forum, but it is to establish a relationship for an eternity, right?

You know, I have thought real hard and deep about eternity throughout all them years debating, .. about us Believers, Christians living together in eternity with God, .. always wondering if that was possible with so many different denominations/versions of Christian!? You know, like when we go to funerals, .. everyone seems to be going to heaven, even those who refused to turn to God in their lifetime, .. like my dear atheist friend/co worker who died a few years back. He was from a Catholic background who came to hate any mention of God, or the Bible, and he was truly a good and kind man. His reasoning was justified when he pointed out the difference what Jesus said, and what we Christians did instead.

Anyways, at his funeral his dear Catholic wife still sent him off to Heaven, having the Priest reassure everyone how he is up there with the Lord. But me knowing him (over 30 years) I know that he would have disagreed with everything the Priest said, ..

I have a request from all you Moderators, is it possible to have just me, and you moderators debate a touchy subject, like your "Statement of Faith" (which in MHO should not be a touchy subject)? That's the whole reason I would like to talk with you guys alone, so not to confuse other members on this Forum!

First, could you please explain to me how a Statement of Faith could be a closed case, that's like placing a bushel over our beliefs (This is what I believe, as long as you don't question it!)? Please forgive me, but doesn't that signify a weakness in faith? If our faith is built on the Bible, the Rock of Ages (Word of God) the Sword of the Spirit, .. what questioning, interrogation could shake that? Are we not to be the "light of the world", .. a "City on a hill", .. open to all and every means of interrogation even if it means to the death??

Just asking, since, .. as I mentioned my last Forum started to limit what we Christian Believer could say, and what we no longer could even mention, it related to the LGBT rights that is now protected by law. Calling it Homophobia that was coming from a hateful God, where any retaliation, even Bible quotes resulted in warnings, .. you know what I mean?

You all seem so intelligent, kind, sweet, but from what I read in your Statement of Faith, especially regarding the Deity of Christ resulting in a quick ban, .. well I'm not certain I can function (breath) where I have to be careful about "offending" non-Biblical human-doctrines, you know what I mean?

The JW's believe you have to call out the name Jehovah, or you blaspheme God.
The 7th D.A. say if I don't worship their Sabbath-god, i will go to hell
the Trinitarians say if I question their trinity-gods, I will be banned, .. etc and so on. If you are a Biblically grounded Debating sight, you should show that, I could see right off the bat you guys know your Bible! So what Principalities, or Powers of Darkness could go against Gods Word?

1 Kings 18:21 [Links removed]
If the Lord is God, follow Him, .. if the RCC deified man Jesus to godhood (a deity who resides in the supernatural realm) is God, follow him, as for me and my house, there is only One God, and One Mediator between God and man, our Lord Jesus Christ.

Thanks, and may the Lord bless us all!
