Does this Reflect the Board or the Bible?

[righteousdude2]

Can I put what these others are saying in a slightly different context.

We have people here on this board whose one horse they ride being Calvinism and how bad or good it is, others who only write about the KJV, others praising or hating on President Obama. We know what they are going to say before they begin.

Seemingly, almost every thing you post has something to do with race and the politics of race. People see your name connected with a thread and just know it will be about race. GIVE IT A REST. Write about some other issue completely unrelated to race for a few months.

Thanks for your opinion, Tom, that is what we are all here to do ... give an opinion.:wavey:

There are certainly a lot of gossips on this board, describing the many flaws of fellow posters. Lets review the last 10 threads of RD2:

1) Does this Reflect - deals with racism
2) Should women hold office - deals with sexism
3) Obama - deals with his policies
4) Is America Racially divided - deals with racism
5) Rubio stance - deals with gay rights
6) Requirement to Lie - deals with rationalization
7) Awesome God - deals with tree creation
8) Inter-galactic - deals with racism
9) Marriage - deals with gay rights
10) Gender surgery - deals with sexual orientation​

So to be fair, 9 out of 10 deal with liberal politics, and include at least three dealing with charges of racism.

Let the fault finding gossip continue....

Thanks for providing a Letterman like top ten of my posts. I feel good knowing that you are a "fan, Van?!" :smilewinkgrin:

And for you, in the first four months of this new year, you have posted exactly four threads, which seem to be all about doctrinal or theological issues. But you do get around, making a lot of comments on other members threads .... so what does that all mean? Just that you seem to be more involved in making comments, and not starting a topic/thread. Yet here you are, making a point, and I applaud your right to post and say what you feel led to say, even if it is based upon your personal slant of the Bible and life in general. The idea of this board is to be involved.

The point of this post may be race slanted, but it has everything to do with the manner in which some members are attacking others for having an opposing view. I do not see how you can see this as a race the ed thread. But, that is your right, God given right at that, to draw a conclusion and voice an opinion. So thanks for your two cents worth of thoughts on my concerns. Shalom!

Perhaps my summary should have said "deals with charges of racism" rather than "deals with racism." The OP expressed the idea that charging others with racism was not appropriate.

My goal was simply to provide an objective basis for discussing your predilections. If you look at the threads I have started, the number #1 topic is Bible Study. But coming in a strong second would be addressing what I believe is unsound doctrine, including four of the five points of the TULIP.

That was clear. I saw you dealt exclusively with Bible study and Baptist doctrine. Maybe one could accuse you of being obsessed with TULIP points :smilewinkgrin: just like I am interested in getting the board back to topics that are more relevant to biblical issues, and enough with race baiting and throwing ugly slurs at those who disagree. God bless you brother. :flower:

Sorry you felt this was about race, Rolf?! Please elaborate how this was racist, because that was not the intent. I was merely addressing the kind of hate that has come about because of all the race baiting being allowed on the board. It is my opinion that race baiting needs to be treated like the other MAJOR taboo subject that gets shut down if it is so much as mentioned.

The board needs to clean itself up, and get back to its original goal, which was to discuss Biblical, and Baptist issues, specifically.

I apologize if anyone got the wrong impression as to the intent of this thread, as I only intended to solicit discussion as to what we have digressed to, while moving away from the true direction of the board and its founders. :tear:

Currently no one is liking what they see, and a good majority of older members have been turned off and left, or placed so many people on ignore that the board is no longer a fun place to visit and share. :tear:

I don't see how anyone could read the title of the thread {Does this Reflect the Board or the Bible?} and think it would have anything to do with race. I agree with the OP.

I have always been offended by the 1970s. No, not everyone from Sweden is a fan of ABBA. Enough said...

I can stomach Abba, its the BeeGees that ruined the 20th century for me.

God bless.
