ironmonk Posted July 4, 2005 Author Posted July 4, 2005 (edited) Thank you again. Sorry I haven't been around much, been very busy... Do we want to place bets on when I'll get booted on this one.... [url="http://www.baptistboard.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/28/3300.html"]http://www.baptistboard.com/ubb/ultimatebb...ic/28/3300.html[/url] edit: WOW! I just noticed that I have been able to get 83 posts on that board since July 2004... I post there about every couple months... normally just enough to raise eyebrows, then drop off the radar, although, I have had links taken out of my threads.

It helps me remain calm and collective in those situations. I see the anti-Catholic boards as bootcamp to know the answers to my faith. God Bless! ironmonk
ReinnieR Posted July 4, 2005 Posted July 4, 2005 most of the time i'm wishing i knew as much as you do or maybe even more. i'm still studying, non-stop. i don't think there's a minute that i don't think about catholicism

God Bless! ironmonk [right][snapback]631254[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Well... They finally booted me. I wanted to post once more before they did, but oh well. Here is what I was going to post tonight or tomorrow..... [quote]Subject: Why do some here fear Catholics? I have noticed many Catholics getting banned or not being allowed to post on this board. Why is it that if they are false that they are kept from posting here? Surely the Catholic Doctrines will fall under scrutiny if they are false. Christ came for the sick, if they are sick then they need Christ, if you have Christ then you would be able to show them Christ - yet you ban them? Yet, some here want to talk behind Catholics backs and then not let them reply to the accusations... that is not Christian. I have something to share with you. I tried joining this forum a few years ago and was banned simply on my name. This is un-Christian. This board has a hateful reputation online because of the hate speech and the iron hand of the mods here. If you had the Truth, then your fruits would be love and understanding, not hate and rumor mongoring. So I built [url="http://www.BaptistBoard.net"]http://www.BaptistBoard.net[/url] You can find me posting there if you really think you have the truth and want to have a brotherly dialog. Otherwise, it just goes to show that maybe you do not have the truth if you have to ban Catholics to keep people from becoming Catholic. No one is going to get brainwashed from reading Catholic rebuttals to the attacks on this board... also, if you had the truth, then why would you even need to attack the Catholic Church? God Bless, Sirach, aka ironmonk [/quote] God Bless!!! ironmonk
ironmonk Posted July 5, 2005 Author Posted July 5, 2005 Feel free to email the admin that booted me for simply explaining the Catholic Faith... Diane and Jim Tavegia tavegia@bellsouth.net I think it's time I schooled them. Along with baptistboard@gmail.com of course. God Bless! ironmonk Church Militant, Spec Ops

Besides, when I get mad its my computer that suffers and I don't think it can take anymore abuse.

homeschoolmom Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 Aw... Ironmonk. I'm disappointed that you got banned-- though I'm hardly surprised. Their fear of Catholics is very, very telling.

We no longer 'approve' Catholics nor allow pro Catholic church postings and the following explanation is our reasoning for your banning.[/quote] ""pro-Catholic" church postings are unacceptable even if it is what the Catholic Church teaches, but hateful Catholic bashing is totally ok. If the post puts the Catholic Church in a positive light, then the post will be deleted or edited... Even if the post in 100% what the Catholic Church really teaches.... Feel free to bear false witness to what the Catholic Church teaches." This speaks volumes for what the truth is. I believe that these people running the board are not sincere and they do want to keep the truth from people. I could be wrong, but I doubt it. To embrace bearing false witness and to shun understanding is not Christian and shows that the love of Christ is lacking. God Bless! ironmonk

homeschoolmom Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 Not to totally belabor this issue, but I'm still following threads at the BB. com. This one, regarding "twisting Scripture" was really interesting (you handled it quite nicely, Ironmonk) Below is a quote from IM followed by a rebuttal from an anti-Catholic. [quote]quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marcia, God Bless and thank you for your reply. How are books by men going to help me, they are not Scripture? Please help me understand with a Scripture basis of how we are to know who distorts scripture. God Bless, Sirach -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Bible has been studied for about 2,000 years and during that time the church has held a historic faith that has not changed in the essentials. [b]When someone suddenly has a new way to interpret something or makes a claim never made, then red flags should be raised. If it was already in the text, then it would not suddenly be discovered.[/b] Books by men can help when what they teach is in line with this historic faith and with God's word. God's word is not a puzzle; it is plain and God wrote it for us to understand. Therefore, we can use books by men as long as we are discerning. It does not mean we have to accept everything they say. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/quote] So, I'm reading and thinking, "Doesn't the belief in the rapture fall into this 'RED FLAG' catagory?? No one believed in that until the 1800s or so..."

I wish I could reply to that... Oh how I wish I could reply... maybe I'll have to create a few new names God Bless, ironmonk
Brother Adam Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 Haha. They have my IP pegged so every name I give them gets rejected, and I won't lie and say I'm a baptist on the registration info.
homeschoolmom Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 I wouldn't lie, either.... but I wonder, would they ban a Methodist (no), a Lutheran (no), an Episcopalian (probably not)... What about an Orthodox (looks like their getting close to booting them off) What about a JW, Morman or Scientologist? Muslim? Jew? Who is it considered okay for descrimination?
Brother Adam Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 An invitation at the end of a pastors sermon or church service in which all persons are invited to come to the front of the church and accept Jesus Christ as their Personal Lord and Savior. This is typically done through the traditional "Sinner's Prayer" or less commonly by a private confession of sins and then a sinners prayer.
Brother Adam Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 It's funny. I noticed Briguy doesn't come here hardly at all anymore. He's from the BB. I wish he would come around more.
