YOU are the one who started this thread. And YOU are the one who degraded it into slurs and insults. Not to mention trying to order the mods around. If there are any mods online right now, they are most likely in the chat rooms, do yourself a favor and go find one..

Well, I'm pretty disgusted right now, so it fits, doesn't it?

You sound pretty demanding of the mods. Newsflash, you're not their boss. As was explained on another thread by Oncefallen, when they get a complaint or even several, they review that complaint as a team to decide what to do... Sometimes it results in a ban or bans, sometimes it doesn't.. Also have you noticed the lack of mods in the forums? The only one I ever see here is Oncefallen, and on rare occasions, Prodigal and CS1. Seeing as how they are all volunteers, and DO have real lives and work, it takes them awhile to sift through all the complaints and make an executive decision. But this sarcasm and bossiness you have towards the mods, will get you nowhere but banned.
You're probably right. That's why I tried the hardest to put myself as their #1 problem. I knew it wouldn't get noticed unless it was.

Why? Could I have said what I did nicely & got the message across? I ranted & raved all day long in here & couldn't even get someone to report me so that a mod would be forced to come in here & listen.

I know what I've done is probably the worst I've ever done in here..... & couldn't force a mod's hand. Sheesh!
You could have question and been civil but u chose this instead.
There is nothing wrong with speaking your peace and moving on but this is insane.
I'm starting to worry about you and your mental stability.
You should get up from your device and go hug your family.
If no one is present please call someone.

The mod's hands cannot be forced by us.. THEY decide what to do, we don't.. Sitting here ranting and raving, stubbornly being a donkey, obviously has gotten you nowhere. When a mod comes online, they will review your complaint and make a decision..

Don't try raising yourself up above everyone else. YOU ARE NOT the mod's #1 problem. They probably get dozens, if not hundreds of complaints and reports each day. You are probably wayyy down on their list of problems..

You'll probably be banned for this and whatever problem you had will still be present.

True, so very very true.. Hyper grace threads will still get made and debated, long after Stephen is gone..

Since the hard line didn't sway me, you ought to know the soft line won't either.

Am I getting bitter? That's a strong possibility. SEVERAL before me have fought this, & each one got bitter & banned.

They were good members, too..... decent people who loved God & their Bible. But those that didn't care banned them for arguing with the PACK. After all, the PACK reported them several times, & it's just easier to sway with the majority.

Since this issue of hypergrace has been debated, do you know how many has been banned on the PACK's side? Not a one, even though several have been verbally warned. The decent side? Quite a few. That's one of the reasons people are leaving.

Now you know why I feel this way.

A small handful of members in the BDF are being treated like DOGS every day..... while those in high places turn a blind eye. They don't have time..... they're busy. That's what I keep hearing.

You see, I went thru protocal..... going up each level to explain this..... And here I am, emptyhanded.

And as you can see with this AWFUL OP I posted, gone for broke, pull out all stops..... I'm still empty handed.
:(


yeah Stephen...the only approach I have is the one I use...not trying some kind of psychological sway here...although I certainly could

again, this is a forum...no one is poster in chief even though sometimes we may think we are and some more than others

I really do not keep track of who is banned...although we all notice when certain people gt banned

but I have seen where some very good people have just left...the 'guest' list...including some I have even pm'ed with

I think this site has a very large turnover when it comes to people and maybe a little too large

well Stephen, I can'feel' that you are angry and you do not think you are being 'heard' without you telling me...that is coming across loud and clear

maybe this choosing sides and feeling like you are on the loosing side is what is doing this to you?

listen...I do not agree with everything those you call hg post...but I just tend to stay away from what I do not want to participate in

I honestly think you are picking a fight you are not going to win...and I don't mean hg...I mean you are never going to have this forum just the way you want it...no one will or can...I think the mods here are quiet lenient

if you want to go to a forum where the mods pop up if even the slightest infraction is seen, I can pm you that name...you will most likely not like that either

A small handful of members in the BDF are being treated like DOGS every day..... while those in high places turn a blind eye. They don't have time..... they're busy. That's what I keep hearing.
sorry...I don't know anything about this...I don't live here and it is not my church...I simply enjoy coming here...and I do like quite a few folks here...it's probably no secret the few I can't stand LOL!...so if I really could not stand you, I would not be trying to reason with you

no one ever gets along with everyone...and for different reasons...I am really much better off when I don't peek at the posts of those I have on ignore.....and if anybody knows me here, they will agree with that haha

I'm sorry Stephen...I really am...but maybe you have too much invested here?

it's a forum after all

The nature and parameters of free will and Sovereignty as defined by the Bible will always be a topic of debate this side of eternity.

And thank God. It does the soul good to contemplate these matters. No matter where somebody lands on them in this life.

well yeah

I like to toss ideas but I don't even do it in this forum because of the heat that will come down

for example, I am an old earth advocate, but not an evolutionist and that alone would cause many to tell me I am not saved, or I don't believe the Bible or whatever

my husband is a young earth advocate...we just don't argue our case with each other although we have certainly discussed it...he knows better cause I am capable of making up my own mind and I know better cause of his background and that statement alone would raise his eyebrows LOL!

I honestly think anything could be discussed if folks didn't think they had to defend what they personally believe, to the death and deal the 'you are not saved card you heretic'

now if someone comes along and says Jesus was not the Son of God...that is another issue and not up for discussion

but plenty could be up for discussion

That second sentence is probably true, seeing NOBODY'S DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. We can agree on that point.
There was something done about it, we all see the same stickie about hg threads but those with a chip on their shoulder will what they want to do anyway...and then we expect the mods to be caretakers of each peoples attitudes? What about some personal accountability?

Isn't hyper grace the antithesis of Lordship salvation? I can see where both sides could go too far. Well, HG does go too far. However, I could see where some ppl who hold to LS could take it too far.

The issue is not just hyper grace. The rapture and gifts of the Spirit create just as much strife. The millennium too. The issue is not how is hg being preached, but how are all things being preached?

It takes two to tango. Instead of focusing on what is wrong..,participant and start threads that focuses o, what is right....what helps and edifies others....

Philippians 4:8-9New King James Version (NKJV)

8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. 9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

I can't think about sock puppets anymore without thinking of the A-Team's H.M. Murdock and his sock puppet. :)

Read rest of the thread and my only thought is I put my kids in timeout when they throw tantrums and demand attention.

I am sadden that some people haven't grown out of throwing temper tantrums and thinking that negative attention is better than none.

It's not healthy. God teaches us a better way.
