Hi Tim2,
You astound me.
It was not a comment written for you yet somehow you take umbrage.We have dealt with all sorts of “what if” scenarios here and people do get upset if someone puts them on the spot and demands a response to a theoretical crisis. I am glad that the God Who gives us breath keeps us safe from the evil one and all the mischief he gets up to in the lives of others. I am happy to walk in the footsteps of the shepherd who enables us to be kept safe.
Such, I believe, is what faith is about-the here and now and the situations God allows us to face today and in knowing that He will also provide us with the grace to come through.
So if you choose to delve into the possibilities outside of God's will then you are welcome but they are not real and God allows us enough troubles today without searching for more.
Wow, thanks Nick. That was a thoughtful response. I'd appreciate receiving more responses of that tone from you. I think it would make the board a more welcoming place and be better for everyone.

T8, I was wondering if you could or should make it so that when you click on a thread, it takes you to the last page of that thread instead of the first page. I imagine most on here go to the end and if they missed a page or two trace their steps backwards, not from the start.
Having it take you to the first page automatically would be good for people who are new or who have just found a thread for the first time and want to read the entire thread.
I'm not certain how many of such people exist.
It's a very small thing, but it's a very small thing that most of us do over and over and I think it may save some time. Either way it doesn't matter too much, but if it's something that is easy to change, it may be worth considering.dvaid
Hi david.
I hope all is good.
When navigating to a discussion via the “Forum” > “Topic Title”, you actually are taken to the first post unless you choose to click on a page number.
The only time you are taken to the last post is when you click on the links in the “Last Post Info” column. I usually go there as I would assume most regular members do get the latest.
But I think that new members would tend to navigate to discussions the “Forum” > “Topic Title” way. Can you remember if you did this when you were a new member?
I use to myself.
There's also an “about pharma online” post.

I always go to “new posts” and then I open a post and it sets me on the first page of that post. What I'm asking is, is there a way for it to take me automatically to the last page or if it is worth it for you to make it so that we're taken to the last page automatically instead of the first page.

Hi david.
Yes, it can be changed as you say, easily enough.
Currently though, you can click on the last page number of each discussion when viewing discussions listed in each forum.
Also, on the BBS homepage:
https://heavennet.net/cgi-bin/forum/ikonboard.cgi
you can also click on the last discussion in each forum by clicking the correct link in the “Last Post Info” column.I personally like the way it is currently set where users can navigate to each discussion from the beginning (especially good for new users to that discussion and regular users can click on the last page (which is less obvious) if they want and thereby skip the first page.
Perhaps you could create a poll in the “Feedback” forum. If there is enough interest, I could change it and then get feedback on whether it should be permanent after people have tried out the change for a while.

T8,
I know you are sensitive to anyone putting “pressure” on you, but can you give me an indication of when you intent to respond in the debate? It's been a while….Blessings

Quote Hi Tim2,
Why stop at three gods?In response to my post:
Quote Unisage, Please read the ecumenical creeds: http://www.reformed.org/documents/index.html
It sounds like you're rushing to judgment based on assumptions that I can sympathize with but that need to be reconsidered in light of the Bible's witness. Your assumption is that only the Father is God, probably because John 17:3, 1 Corinthians 8:6, and Ephesians 4:6 state that the Father is the only God. But look at those verses again. They say the Father is the only God. They don't say that only the Father is God. There is a difference between “X is the only Y” and “Only X is Y,” but we it's not usual for us because we think in terms of matter, which does not have the ability to exist in more than one subsistence at one time. But we can't assume that God is subject to the same limitations as matter. It is possible that there is only one God, and that three different persons are this one God. That is what the Trinity is saying. That is what the Bible is saying. And John 15:26 is saying that the Holy Spirit is not the Father. That's explicit. If your assumptions don't allow you to believe John 15:26, then your assumptions need to change.
Tim
Nowhere in my post do I mention three gods. I explicitly affirm that there is only one God. This is the type of misquoting that Nick does all the time but thinks he can get away with because he doesn't use quotation marks. What sort of forum is this where the admin is free to misrepresent people's views however he pleases? What the heck are you trying to accomplish with this site if that's how your admins behave?
Tim
Hi Tim2,
It is nonsense to preach three deities and then deny you are preaching three gods. A deity is a god. You are offering that others apart from Our Father God is our God, though Jesus and the other servants of God are specific in teaching that the Father is their God and our God.Thus if it is reasonable to postulate from outside of scripture that three are our gods then why should anyone stop at three rather than remaining open to new discoveries that there are more?
Your postulations and propositions are contrary to the substance of the Word of God and an attack on the integrity of Scripture and so do not be surprised if you are shown these things in your own interest.
Nick,
I have never preached three deities, nor three gods. I've said from the beginning, I believe in one God. I've always said that I agree with the ecumenical creeds, which explicitly deny that there are three gods.
You yourself said on May 1, “Jn1.1 speaks of two who are God.” By the standards you accuse me, you believe in two gods. But I don't accuse you of that because I know you don't believe that, just like you know I don't believe in 3 gods.
You're an admin, Nick. You have to show some decency and respect to people who visit your forum. Even the people of the world have this much courtesy. Someone who claims to be a Christian should be even more hospitable and not constantly throw taunts at misrepresentations at guests.
Tim
Hi Tim2,
If your own words embarrass you perhaps you should change them and the beliefs behind them.This is ridiculous. Heaven, t8, whoever, you have to do something. Nick says things are my words that aren't my words. He ignores my requests to be polite. Please tell him to be civil so that people can actually discuss ideas on this forum without his attacks.
Hi Tim2,
In the Servant of God thread on 1 May you said this.“I don't know what CultBuster means by “deity,” but using the conventional meaning of the term, god, then I disagree with him. There is only one God, and He is the only Deity. I do, however, believe that Cult Buster says “deity” with the meaning of “person who is God,” in which case I agree with him, for the Scriptures plainly testify that there are three who are God.”
We agree with Scripture that does not need all this variation of belief according to context and says God is one.
This is ridiculous. I said in that post, “There is only one God, and He is the only Deity.” I said I agree with CultBuster to the extent he means there are three persons who are God. You said the same thing in your May 1 post, “There are two who are God.” How would you feel if visited a website and said that, and the Administrator posted, “Nick, why do you say there are two deities?” after your posts that don't even mention that?
I can't believe your response to my requests to be polite Nick. You are being unacceptably rude for an administrator. I want to hear from t8 about this.
Tim
