After reading posts promoting the Qur'an or Koran, I am more convinced that this category of forums should be for believers only. As the topics here are for those who believe that Jesus is the messiah and son of the living God. That he died and rose again and that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.This area is not the…[Read more]

After reading this, I am more convinced that this forum should be for believers only. As the topics here are for those who believe that Jesus is the messiah and son of the living God.This area is not the place for other religions or followers of other men to tout their message. There are other places outside this area for that.I am open to setting…[Read more]

Quote (terraricca @ Nov. 13 2009,13:40)hi to alli think you should first consider wath s the purpose of the forums,is it bible discution or anything wath comes to mind,if you want to create a forum to open to other religions why you dont just call it that,like 'Bible teachings versus the coran .or the bible and catholicisme,or the bible versus…[Read more]

Quote (georg @ Nov. 13 2009,17:39)t8 I agree with that. I also was wondering since kejonn was banned from posting in the Believers section because He did not think Jesus was the Messiah. But our Muslim here does, is there a reason why?Peace and Love IreneHi Irene.Thanks for your post.Are you saying that BD believes that Jesus is the…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Nov. 13 2009,17:55)You misunderstand me.  I was stating that I assume you indicated in the forum head what this site considers to be a believer as people will go by their chosen definition otherwise.If you can show me in scripture that a believer/disciple/saint/church member doesn't necessarily believe that Jesus is the Christ and…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Nov. 13 2009,17:49)"For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures":Yes, if we do not believe this gospel then do we not reject that gospel? Surely a…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Nov. 13 2009,17:36)I assume you defined what "Believer" is.A believer is defined not by me but in scripture. The word is sometimes translated as saint and disciple.You can read in scripture what they believed and they all believed that Jesus was the son of God and the Christ. Take the Pharisees for example. They believed in the…[Read more]

What is a believer?Sure many believe in God or a god.But a believer in the New Testament is a learner, pupil, disciple of Christ. Jesus also built his Church on the truth of who he is.Matthew 16:16-1816 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ,the Son of the living God." 17 Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not…[Read more]

I should point out that no one is censored from posting in this board. From the beginning, this board has had the following rule:"No pushing doctrines that are not related to the topic. (Pushing them in an appropriate topic is OK.)"As an extension of this "Believers Place" was set up to allow topics of a scriptural and biblical nature to thrive…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Nov. 13 2009,10:17)I believe you have already designed your forums toward that end.  I do not even know if you have a place to discuss the existence of God though perhaps your forum on traditions would be the place.   I noticed you switched appropriately the thread that question whether Jesus was conceived of a virgin to that f…[Read more]

Not at all.This category is for Believers only. Before this, many members ended up debating the existence of God with non-believers and it slowed down discussion on doctrines and scriptural stuff quite a bit. It was decided that having an area for believers only, was to progress discussion on topics that believers believe in. It worked.Now to be…[Read more]

Well put 942767.

A better question might be "how many would object to a muslim debating and teaching about scripture/the bible".For everything else in life, it doesn't matter who. We are in the world, but not of it.Kind of like saying, should a boy be allowed to join the Girl Guides or a Christian teaching as an authority on the koran.

Nice one WJ. I concur.

Quote (kerwin @ Nov. 12 2009,21:58)I am not fond of segregation.  It has its uses if a certain group needs protection but it can also lead to the us vs. them mentality.   I think it wise if we avoid such and instead try to encourage a student of the Messiah outlook with each of us perhaps at different steps on the trail but seeking to come to t…[Read more]

Correct. seekingtruth just quoted scripture. So any problem with that is not with seekingtruth, but with scripture.

Or would it be better to have another category for other faiths including the Muslim faith?This category is called Believers Place and is for believers, i.e., those who believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God and the messiah.I agree that a muslim can raise good and challenging questions and the behaviour of the member has been good in the…[Read more]

Actually the title might be misleading.The politics is not general politics, but politics pertaining to the way the Believers Area should run.Politics as in a process by which groups of people make decisions. So the Believers Group making decisions based on the Believers Category. Not right wing, left wing, etc.

Quote (Cindy @ Aug. 08 2009,09:25)Even though in the O.T. times all did tithe.  Now God wants us to give according to our needs.  If our Children go hungry because we want to tithe, that is so wrong. God wants a cheerful giver, not a forced.  And how can we be cheerful if our Children go hungry?  We have an obligation to our Children.  Some will…[Read more]

Well Stu, to say that there wasn't an Exodus means that you are biased plain and simple because you have no proof. Same goes for a lot of other things you say.
