Why Do You Want People Off The Forum?

If you can't discuss and defend your doctrine adequately, why punish the person who questions it?

It is not that we can't discuss and defend our doctrine, it is that we are obeying the bible when it says that we need to avoid endless disputations of men and questions that do not profit.

I do not mind discussing and defending my doctrine but there comes a point where I know I am wasting my time and just give up on the person and then go on to another person.

There comes a point when a Christian need to simply shake the dust of his shoes and go on to another more receptive audience.

Did you accept your doctrine as truth without questioning it?

If you can't or won't answer the questions put to you, why expect anyone to answer your questions?

IMO, I don't think God likes confusion or discord, so why make it or add to it? Its not *giving in* or *not defending or upholding ones Christian views*.

No, I did not, I have studied just about every doctrine and I have changed my mind on a few of them.

I no longer worship on Sunday, because I studied and realized the Sabbath was the correct day.

I no longer preach against drinking wine, for I studied the Bible and realized that the Bible is against the abuse of wine not the drinking of wine.

so yes I do question my doctrines.

I expect discussion. Not a snippet of a question and then a what about that, huh, huh, huh type discourse.

And I expect answers to questions, not more questions instead of answers.
