What can I do to change this?

[A shy girl Chloë]

Hello,

I am an open-minded Agnostic, and I would like to participate in Bible-related discussions, too. The message I get is that I don't have enough privileges to do so. What can I do to change this? Thanks.

if your signature is true, ('I want to understand the Holy Bible. Please, help me. Thank you very much.")


that is what we all want to do. I don't know that there couldn't be an exception made? What are the options listed besides Agnostic?

Why do you say you're an agnostic? What does it actually mean for you? I don't understand what you mean about 'privileges'. Perhaps you explain. And as an Agnostic why do you want to participate in Bible-related discussions? I just want to understand why you're here.

And as an Agnostic why do you want to participate in Bible-related discussions?

Well, I would like to participate in Bible-related threads, because this would give me an opportunity to ask questions.

Well, the way I understand it is in agreement with a standard definition of this word.

Here's a story that might help your doubt. It's by a man, Roy Shoeman, who was Jewish. He was raised by parents that escaped the Nazi Holocaust in WWII and came to this country. Roy was raised a faithful Jew through high school, went on to M.I.T. where he did well, graduated, and went to Harvard. He did well enough there that they asked him to be a professors at age 29. But, through his college years, he lost his belief in God and, for all intents and purposes, became an atheist. But, he always wondered what the purpose of life is, if there is no God. One day, without warning, the veil between heaven and earth was removed, and he saw both God and heaven. His story is very interesting, in my opinion. Here it is:

I looked it up and this is the definition. "a person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God"

Is that how you see it?.

@Rita - or any admin - Which board would be right for Chloe?

I looked it up and this is the definition.

With all due respect, may I ask you, what is your source? Where exactly did you find this definition?

Is that how you see it?

Well, as I clearly mentioned in my original post, "I am an open-minded Agnostic".

Also, if you have not noticed, my signature is: "I want to understand the Holy Bible. Please, help me. Thank you very much."

Is that different from your definition. That meaning is from the Cambridge dictionary.

Yes I did read that you are 'an open-minded Agnostic' but I still don't know what you mean by it. That's why I looked it up but you don't agree with that definition so tell me how you would describe it.

The bible is quite difficult to understand, specially if you're not a Christian. Once we are Christians the Holy Spirit helps us to understand the bits we need to understand. Don't start at Genesis like a book where you start on the first page, the bible is a library, mad up of many books. The best place to start is with the book of John, or any of the first four books of the New Testament.

I haven't seen your signature, I don't know where or what it is.

I haven't seen your signature, I don't know where or what it is.

My profile's signature, like your profile's signature, is attached at the bottom of every post we make on this forum.

I don't see them, I turned the option off.

 

[A shy girl Chloë]

I don't see them, I turned the option off.

Why, if I may ask?

Pearl, I am a shy girl, and I would like to let you know that, no offence, but I somehow feel intimidated by you.

 

[A shy girl Chloë]

I don't see them, I turned the option off.

Since you turned the option off, then you must have known what signature is, and where it is.

For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word. - Isaiah 66:2

And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. - John 12:32

I personally believe you are here because it is the Lord God himself who is seeking you out. I would encourage you to follow the paths the Lord would lead you... Especially to a church that is active in worship and in the word.

As far as restrictions we have a lot of people who come here for the purpose of trouble making.
