And once again you judge us with your scale of unjust wieghts of prejudice, and bitterness.
Why you feel that injustice is being done is because another person who was in error and even admitting it has been removed from posting. a strand of three cords is not easily broken. and when the cords of false hood and error are strong it is hard to break its influence. so teh cord has been severed again. But you are still allowed to post you will not be encouraged by Brandon or anyone else to be strong in error only strong in truth.
May I give you some advice. if you are here on this forum to learn then do so.
stop feeling everybody is attacking you and others, or not acting out of love. Proverbs 17:20 He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: . . . take time to meditate on this verse carefully. you never seem to find good in some of our attempts to help you and others better understand the Bible you claim to believe in.
God bless you with a pure heart and His will.

I've moved on Chette, this isn't about me. I am not here to speak on my behalf, but on behalf of gophgetter who I'm concerned about. I don't think the way he was treated was good for him, and more importantly I think it has established a spirit here where if anyone doesn't agree with someone, all they have to do is throw around the word heretic enough times and uses verses like Romans 16:17 to get someone banned from the forums. There are those on these forums who attacked him quite violently (they know who they are...) and these folks above all concern me. These folks are sowing seeds of animosity which I'd rather not see bear fruit on these forums. Ultimately I believe things could have been handled differently. Perhaps I'm wrong, and I haven't been privy to private discussions etc, but with what I have to go on, I feel is enough to indicate that there was a chance to help the fellow see the error in his thinking. Am I wrong? Was there no hope in helping gophgetter?
