Perfect. I appreciate you doing this. The last place anyone needs confusion is a place where we go to get God's support from fellow believers. And if there is confusion of any kind, that is not support. That is something the world offers and gives in abundance.

Well said. I agree to totally. We all should be united in Jesus and gospel preaching and not talk about differences but what is our foundation -salvation in Jesus. That's the most important.

I agree also.

Good question, heavykevy!
I tried clicking on the "Report it" links in blue type underneath the questions and next to the answers, and an alert was sent to me, but there were no details as to why. Consequently, I think that the best thing to do is contact me directly by sending an e-mail to lindaodonnell@inbox.com. And please be sure to tell me what question and answer you're referring to and what the problem is.

Wow, and who makes this decision, the majority? (I am assuming that this is pointed at me for I am the only one who writes things which are against the common belief, and I have been blocked) I guess I might as well leave now, for most of my post do not muster up with the majority. Father has told me to stay away from this board for awhile and now I see why.
Scripture also says test all things, or prove all things (1 Thessalonians 5:21). it also tells us that the Noble ones are those who RECEIVE the word with all readiness of mind, and THEN search out the scriptures to see if what is being said is true (Acts 17:11).
For example, What makes the rapture correct and the resurrection wrong? (Yes, there is a difference between the rapture THEORY and the scripture riddled resurrection plan of God) The rapture is a theory never directly proven by scripture. It is alluded to yes, I agree, but proven, NO. It is all about the interpretation that one has for the scriptures.
What you are doing here is preventing the spirit of God from teaching you anything. You are in effect closing your ears and mind to a possible truth that the spirit of God might wish to teach. For example, what if the rapture THEORY was wrong? Would you ever learn of it’s errors? Not if you don’t search out all the possibilities, to be a Berean.
I am not talking about just me, for others might want to say something but become fearful because of the possibility of being banded from this board. Hitler quenched free speak, Stalin quenched free speak, what are you guys doing?
Doesn’t 1 Thessalonians say “QUENCH NOT THE SPIRIT?” What makes anyones interpretation better than anyone else? What makes the majority correct and the lone voice incorrect? Was Martin Luther’s lone voice incorrect when he stepped away from the Catholic church as an individual? How many people at the time judged him as a heretic because of what he said and wrote about of his knowledge?
I thought the whole purpose of this board was to listen to what others have discovered in order to have more intel to make a decision and do research on the word of God. I cannot be part of any group that will willingly block or quench the spirit from speaking out.
To assume that what one believes is the truth and nothing but the truth shows arrogance. The main reason that we have so many different denominations is because of the vastness of interpretations in the world. What makes the Baptist better than the Evangelical, or the Catholic better than the Mormon, or the JW’s better than the Seventh Day Adventist? NOTHING, for their belief system is based entirely upon the way they interpret the scriptures.
I do not say any of this in hatred of anyone on this board, I say it out of sadness for those on this board who are in search of. I did enjoy my time here and wish everyone the best, but I cannot be part of a group that has decided to silence someone of their opinion because they think it goes against scripture and against God.
If anyone has questions, or if you change your mind on the freedom of this board, you may email me at martenas@aol.com. I bless all of you in your endeavors to gain the truth of the word.
Many Blessings,
martenas

Martenas,
If you were blocked, it is because your belief does not correspond with God's Word. Well, it does, but it perverts His Word, to mean what you want it to mean. You are believing a deceiving spirit, and you will not allow your pride to be set aside to let the Holy Spirit tell you that what you have been led to believe is a lie. This comment here is proof of just that.
If your god was my God, you would not have even commented, but out of pride, you felt you needed to "get the last word in". Maybe that is what I am doing here, in which case, may God forgive me, for it is not my intention of having pride, but to let you know that if you were indeed blocked as you say, it is because your beliefs are contradictory to God's Word.
This site was set up to go strictly on His Word, and His Word alone. Sure, there will be different interpretations of certain verses as the Holy Spirit teaches lessons to each individual as He sees fit. But, the "big picture" is always the same. And your belief is contrary to His Big Picture.
