Only heretics need to concern themselves!Look like it needs to be reported to a moderator in a forum but I’m not sure what the point of this topic is.
Only heretics need to concern themselves!
Sorry... it was posted from the viewpoint of my often misguided sense of humor.What does that mean? That only heretics needs to question the purpose of this topic?
Then you must wait for @kcnalp to explain. The initial post was his.Okay so I wasn’t questioning “what a heresy is” but more of a point of this topic.
If we discuss the screenshot in the OP then we first need to ask “are we being heavy-handed with reporting?”
Then we also need to discuss who are we going to report things to - like you asked. I assume forum moderators.
Then we also need to discuss “what is a heresy”.
So I don’t know what the point is basically.
I don't think any of us completely understands the Lord, so to some degree, I guess we are all heretics.

I was simply pointing out what that site considered serious issues that need to be reported. Like "Deity" of Jesus. This forum is flooded with those who deny that Jesus is God. They are considered to be heretics in that forum, but not here. It doesn't even seem to be a serious issue here.
Does anyone know if there is a statement of Faith on ChristianityBoard. I couldn't find it.
Some people think Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus is God in flesh, but I don't consider people to be heretics if they believe Jesus is the Son of God. Indeed, the first sentence in the book of Mark says, "The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God."View attachment 16708

I would tend to agree.I don't think any of us completely understands the Lord, so to some degree, I guess we are all heretics.
I have noticed in some debate areas people denying Jesus is God. I usually just ignore it, I'll keep an eye out for it. I've noticed a couple problem members lately and wonder about their faith and why they give everyone grief. But I don't really like the debate areas either, and yet I learn from it and have grown in my understanding.
Jesus comes out and says that he is God in the bible. He also says that he was given power to resurrect himself. The bible points out that heavenly Father resurrected him. So the point is that heavenly Father resurrected Jesus but Jesus performed the resurrection of himself. By definition I would think anyone that was given power to resurrect themselves from death is a god. So saying Jesus is not God is a heretic answer. Not believing the bible.Some people think Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus is God in flesh, but I don't consider people to be heretics if they believe Jesus is the Son of God. Indeed, the first sentence in the book of Mark says, "The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God."
