Are we Apostolic, per our own rules?

Or where you just hear to complain about the rules not being what you wanted them to be?

I believe he is saying there are nicer ways to say what you said, your post basicly gives a defence to those who mock others beliefs, because they are "weird".

I have been saying this all along, its all in how you say something, and there are those who word their post as you did. Politically correct yet obviously slamming something or someone. Nobody here is so dumb not be able to read between the lines.

See, you could have easily just said :
Your belief is easy to question.
Your oneness doctrine leaves questions unanswered.
etc etc.

But for some reason everyone wants to knowingly use sarcasm or underlying insults instead and when called on it they act like "they didnt mean it that way" .. pfft, whatever .

** CRICKETS **

Should I start on the Epley, Benicasa, etc quotes now or later?

No , neither side remained civil.

From what I have seen of MTD's posts, this is what he believes.

If you are stating that this is easy to mock, then you are
going against the forum rule that states that doctrinal issues can be questioned but not mocked.

MTD has many many times gone off the reservation with his weird claims. No he is not content to say what you said...he insists that one must confess that Jesus is the Father.

There is also not a single rule that says I have to buy MTD's theory to be on the forum.

Yep I could have. But I didn't.

Some days I can be sugar sweet other days I just shake my head and don't post and then there are days like today when I get to poke people.

Nor is there a rule that says MTD can decide who is Oneness and who is not. Who is Apostolic and who is not. Who will be saved and who will not.

Also Baron, you more than others, should know better than to try and put words into someone's mouth.
I just find it ironic that both sides here indulge in the same sort of incivility.
I frankly find some attitudes on here are discouraging and as far from my conception of Christian as could be.
I am not talking about any one poster, and just because I mentioned Baron this does no apply to him. He is actually usually more civil and level headed than I am!!!
I do like tweaking certain posters, because I think they view things through one-sided lens and are unable to see that they are acting the same as others who they are "blasting".
I've riled up everyone enough and I need to get some work done.
I do regard all of you as my brothers and sisters in Christ.
Hopefully you do the same.
Bowing out.

Nothing wrong with spirited discussions... let's not water down and force disagreements to all be milquetoast either.

Yes I have, usually in response to such, but never do I fire the first shot.

However I also realize that makes me just as bad as the rest.
