I checked with Angelina and lforrest and they are not aware whether that still exists. Well it must because when I replied to a very long post it said the words exceeded the 1000 limit or something like that. It popped up and left so fast I couldn't read it all.
How do I know when I exceed the 1000 limit @Heart2Soul?

James 1
13. When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

Johann, I did an online search and there is a tool you can use for character counting

  • Character Count Tools: Online tools like WordCounter.net provide a free character count feature. Simply copy and paste your text into the tool, and it will display the character and word count.

Would that be of any help for you?

It's probably not the only one out there, you might even find another one you might prefer more, I just posted that to show you could look for something similar.

God bless you brother

307 words 1,710 characters

If this forum operates based on a character limit, then I have clearly exceeded it-as evidenced by this brief and condensed post. This limitation prevents me from providing a proper rebuttal to many of the erroneous doctrines shared by some members. However, if the "program" is instead governed by a word count, there may still be hope. So, which is it: a restriction on the number of characters or the number of words?

Which is it @Heart2Soul? The number of words or characters? Not being facetious.

1. The appeal of the Servant is to all men (Jew and Gentile) - even to the ends of the earth, (vs. 1-a; comp. Isa_45:22).
2. From the womb of His mother, Jehovah has called- the Servant by name, (Mat_1:21).
a. Making his mouth like a sharp sword - hidden in the shadow of Jehovah's own hand, (vs. 2a; Isa_11:4; Isa_30:31; Rev_1:16; Rev_2:16; Rev_19:15; comp. Heb_4:12).
b. Making Him as a polished shaft - ready to be drawn from the quiver of Jehovah, (vs. 2b; Hab_3:11).
3. Elsewhere referred to as "David" (Eze_34:23), the Servant (Christ) is here called "Israel"; He always identifies Himself with His chosen people, (Hos_11:1; Mat_2:15; comp. Num_24:8) - with Israel in the Old Testament, and with His church in the New, (Act_8:3; Act_9:1; Act_9:4).
a. He is ever the Head of His covenant-community (in both the Old Testament and New) - they being His body (Eph_1:22-23), bride (Isa_62:5; 2Co_11:2; Eph_5:21-32), house (Heb_3:1-6; Heb_10:21; 1Ti_3:15; 1Pe_2:5), temple (Eph_2:20-22), holy nation (Exo_19:6; Deu_14:21; 1Pe_2:9), and people for God's own possession, (Exo_19:5; Deu_7:6; Deu_14:2; 1Pe_2:9; Eph_1:18).
b. What many fail to see is that the covenant-community in the Old Testament and New are ONE in the special relationship of covenant-fellowship that they sustain to Christ - a relationship that is rooted in divine grace and maintained through the obedience of faith, (Eph_2:11-19).
4. From every observable indicator of Israel's response to Him, our Lord's labor toward her APPEARED to be in vain - His effort wasted, (vs. 4a; Mat_23:37-39; Joh_5:39-40).
5. But, He left the result in the Father's hands -trusting Him for a just recompense of His faithful service, (vs. 4b; 1Pe_2:21-23; Php_2:9-11).

I can't really say because I have no clue. The New owner took over 2 years ago and he may have done away with it. Angelina and lforrest, our administrators aren't sure either. I only mentioned it because I was replying to one of your post and it wouldn't allow me to post it because your post and my reply exceeded the 1000 word count (i think it said word count)....members can reply without using the reply button and it won't bring the other member's post into their reply. However if they want the member to see their reply then they have to tag them to make sure he/she doesn't miss their reply.

Their is a forum rule against excessive posts and the reason is because long posts jams up the transmission between servers, especially when there are thousands of posts being exchanged continually.

Thank you, @Heart2Soul. I suspect the issue may be word count. However, I choose not to engage with facetious members or respond to sarcastic remarks. As a result, my posts are very selective and directed toward only a few individuals here. I'm not saying you are that individual.

God bless.

Johann.

It's fine if it is directed to me. Iron sharpens iron and I would be a fool to be closed-minded to other members wisdom, knowledge and understanding of scripture. So any debate between us is welcome as long as it stays pleasant. It's easier to swallow with a little sugar on top.

I am more than willing to engage in debate, and my comment was not directed at you. However, I am growing weary of certain members resorting to overt and blatant ad hominem attacks in this forum. Additionally, there seems to be a troubling tendency toward redefining core doctrines as they are clearly written in Scripture.

The nature of some questions also appears to lean more toward ekpeirazō (testing with ill intent) rather than dokimazō (testing to prove or refine). I am sure you would agree with me here.



JESUS WAS A MASTER TEACHER
Jesus was a master teacher who asked exceptional questions.

… a question is a powerful thing, a mighty use of words … a simple question can be precisely what’s needed to drive to the heart of the matter; it’s hard to meet a simplistic question with anything but a simplistic answer. It’s hard to transcend a combative question. But it’s hard to resist a generous question. We all have it in us to formulate questions that invite honesty, dignity, and revelation. There is something redemptive and life-giving about asking better questions. (Kara Tippetts)

According to the Bible, Jesus is recorded as not answering the majority of questions asked to him, with most sources stating that he only directly answered around 3 out of the 183 questions posed to him, meaning he did not answer roughly 180 questions.

A rough estimate.


Shalom to you and family.

Johann.

Is there a specific reason all these christian forums get bought and sold like they do?

Like, if I would like to buy it from the current owner what benefit is there for me in buying it and in a few years sell it? What makes it of value for the brief time one owns it only to later sell it? You know?

Only the owner could answer that. I checked their introduction post here. They haven't posted in a long time. And as far as I know they own more than one.

Yeah the older owner owns/or owned christian forums.

I wonder if there is some information online as to what profit there is in buying and selling forums, because the other forum has been sold many times. How would I find out the benefits of this?

You could try PMing this sites owner via their PM link on their post on Introductions board.

One of the Moderators might know his email.

I did a search and found this.
