Stop!

[Professor Brown]

To whomever is running this abominable site:

Stop.

Several of my students told me about this terribly un-Christian "Christian" site. Frankly, I thought they were probably overreacting. As an academic, I realize there has to be room for many strands of Christian thought, Biblical as well as critical.

But having spent a few hours reading your discussions, this site is a horror. There's no true Christian love here. You use the Word of God like a brick to smack each other around with. You're "loving" the Bible literally to death.

Stop. Take Easter weekend off. Think about what made you turn to Christ in the first place. Wasn't it love rather than hate? Is this site really an outgrowth of that love?

As a Christian, a woman of the 21st century, and a professor, I couldn't let this go by without comment. This site is spiritually dead. With Christ, we are all promised new life. Roll away the boulder, Landover.

You are asking Jesus to close down his Favorite Forum?

Are you insane?

Re: Stop!

I'll bet you dollars to donuts that she's a feminazi "professor" of feminaziism at some liebral college somewhere.

1 Timothy 2:11-15
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing.

Re: Stop!

You are asking Jesus to close down his Favorite Forum?

And which of you is under the delusion of being Jesus Christ?

If you mean that this forum, more than any others, is rooted in Christian teaching, I have to respectfully disagree. That may be your intention, and it can be your future, but it is not the present reality.

Re: Stop!

Pastor Ezekiel, the term is "women's studies," though that is not my field. And 1 Timothy reflects a temporary prohibition on women preaching made necessary by a slide of the local church towards gnosticism. It's quite clear in the originial language. Turning it into a permanent and global proposition is absurd.

Anyway, isn't it the case that you shall know me by my fruits? Isn't what matters whether I can help you find your way back to Christ?

No pumpkin, nobody is. That would be blasphemy. I was just stating that we are God's Favorite Forum. That's not the same now is it? Baby Jesus isn't technically our webmaster - don't be silly -, but everything that goes on here, every bit of information, is ultimately managed by Him.
This forum OOZES True Christianity.

If you mean that this forum, more than any others, is rooted in Christian teaching, I have to respectfully disagree. That may be your intention, and it can be your future, but it is not the present reality.

I'm not sure what you are saying there, but I wonder if you have your husband's permission to post on here?

[Professor Brown]

Re: Stop!

Do you have your wife's permission?

[Pastor Ezekiel]

Re: Stop!

Do you have your wife's permission?

And exactly where in the Holy Bible does it even imply that a husband would need his wife's permission to do anything?

You really are a man-hating feminazi, aren't you.

Re: Stop!

My wife died a few months ago. Are you happy now?

Even if she would still be alive today, I wouldn't need HER permission. She would need mine.

Re: Stop!

Dear friend:

Don't tell; show. Feel free to show us, chapter and verse, just where we have erred in our reading of Scripture.

[Professor Brown]

Re: Stop!

I'm sorry for your loss. Of course that doesn't make me happy. And I will pray for you. But I wonder if it wouldn't be a fitting tribute to your wife's memory for you to rethink the way in which you treat women. Wouldn't she have wanted you to listen, be respectful, and engage in prayerful dialogue with women?

Dear Friend,

Pastor Ezekiel, the term is "women's studies," though that is not my field.

So you're an amatuer donut-bumper?

They said no.

Re: Stop!

Pastor Isaac Peters, no thanks. I have read enough here to know you know your Bible. You quote snips and bits and then pretend you don't understand the tenor of the whole work. The Bible describes a process by which individual human beings, and all human beings, can be saved by the grace of God. On every page is writ the word Love. You know that I'm right, and if you're honest about it, you know your approach here is wrong.

Dear Friends,

Are we allowing Chinese posters? I know we'd gotten rid of the Niponese, mostly.
