.Agreed, who wants to post when they are "threatened" ... all I did was confront a moderator to be placed on moderator status, then the moderator says, "I didn't do it!" okay. Who wants to post when they are "threatened" and not lied to. ~serapha~

Jenda... your posting is "brinking"... because if I reply publicly that I have a message in my file that says differently, I am in violation of the rules. I'm sending you a private message and then tell me if you aren't the same Jenda that sent me that message as moderator of this forum. ~serapha~

Well, snow, you can rejoice, and you can post in peace at Christian forums...I've been banned for who knows how long by the courtesy of Catholic moderators who "brinked" me.... you see... a member posted to me that the moderators had been "warned" and would be looking for my postings... And I did post this to laurel tree a few weeks ago... there are problems at Christian forums with the deceptive nature of the moderator postions. I sent an apology to Laureltree for having defended Christianforums as "Christian" when I found out that CF did, in fact, encourage their moderators to have two accounts... one for the public image of "our moderators are good Christians" and one account for the heated debate forums... and then... there's no controlling the alternate accounts. The rules don't seem to apply to the alternate accounts. Christianforums does support deceit when it involves their moderators. The biggest problem at Christianforums now... is their continued refusal to tell people who apply for moderator positions why their application is refused.... in the meantime... my favorite moderator posts venemous postings against all denominations except his own... with a particular phrase that truly exemplies his personality... <I'm quoting here, this is not ~serapha says~> "blowing it up the butt" That's acceptable for moderators who are setting the example for others while good, exemplary Christians are turned away from being moderators without explanation. I do like Christianforums, but not for the moderation... for it is lacking in consistent application of the rules.... but for the opportunities in outreach ministries there... seeing people saved on a regular basis. People are saved there in spite of the poor moderation. God doesn't need good moderators to reach lost souls... ~serapha~

Snow... None of the passages you quoted applied to Christians.... There are no examples in the Bible where God tells a believer to "lie" ... no where... so when one choses to lie, it is their choice to lie... No other reason. That would include the sin of omission... when one intentionally avoids answering questions because it would cause them to make false statements..... therefore, they remain silent... but the intent of the heart has already committed the sin even though the words are never spoken. ~serapha~

Serapha, you imply that "all the moderators" go over to CF and lie. Please tell me who "all the moderators" are that go over to CF and lie. And please don't lie in the process.Thanks. Jenda, Read the posting... "imply" would be the word you used.... re-read the posting and read it in the literal sense without putting thoughts and emotions into the picture. I asked this question... I didn't specify any particular forum or any particular moderator.... if you conscience is guilty ... well, don't put words in my mouth... okay? ~serapha~

Oh, it's okay.... I keep asking him if he is a mormon or not, and he keeps avoiding the question... and I keep telling him that he is living a lie and he tells me to stop calling him a liar.. There... I think that settles it... Snow is publicly denouncing membership in the CoJCoLDS's by his insistence that I not call him a liar when I ask him if he is a mormon. and I've agreed to stop telling him that he is living a lie... I won't call him a liar anymore... but a convert to mainstream Christianity. Do all the moderators on this site lie when they go to other forums? just curious... ~serapha~

Gee... I didn't want to point the finger... but I just want to know if you support LDS's who live a lie simply because they are your fellow "saints"???? So.... is it okay to live a lie or not? Is a "lie" ever justified? ~serapha~

Hi there! Well, I was looking for responses in relation to theology... rather than reference to viagra and passing gas. ~serapha~

Gee.. I would reply to Jenda's posting but she would probably put me on moderator status as she did the last time I confronted her on a posting... using her position of power to control the response of people she doesn't like. We been there before, Jenda... The difference between me and snow is that I am not lying about anything when I post here. ~serapha~

Hi there! Is there ever a time when you felt that it was necessary and justified to "lie?" You know... maybe just a small white lie, like holding back on the truth... not really making the statement but not correcting it either. Sometimes, this is called the "sin of omission"... any guilt parties here? ~serapha~

Hi Nina, Trolling is when someone goes to a forum simply to disrupt the harmony there. If you want to see Snow in action go to .... http://www.christianforums.com/f130 and you may see his profession of faith.. a denial of mormonism.... ~serapha~

Hi Snow... I guess you hate it so much so... that you created an account posing as a Christian (Chaucer) and then have been over there bashing on your "brothers and sisters" in Christ... Good job... and another excellent example of how members on this forum can troll with the best of them. If anyone needs moderating here... it would be moderators who live a lie on other forums. ~serapha~

If the ark exists, once the wood is exposed to the air, it will crumble in their hands like dust... the cells of the wood will have deteriorated to being "fluff" that will be crushed to the touch. The only way to recover a piece of wood such as the ark is to isolate it in "foam" and then re-saturate the wood cells by soaking the wood with chemicals to harden to wood to a point that it might be "touchable". That would take 10+ years of continuous soaking. It would be interesting, though, to see pictures of the construction of the ark. The boards of the ark were probably sewn together with rope rather than using nails as we imagine it to be. Actually, the ossuary box is not a fraud. The second inscription is brought into question, but the first inscription is not being questioned. I don't look like Larry Bird. ~serapha~

Wouldn't it be hard to find anyone to take you up on the bet? I mean, the odds on lion-vs.-Christian would be about the same as those on me vs. Tyson, no? Killing Christians was a sport, perhaps that is the point that I didn't get across..... ~serapha~

Somehow, I just can't see Jesus sitting at the slots or playing blackjack. WWJD ~serapha~ **note** In the first-century, it was common for the Romans to bet on the gladiator fights, etc. Can you imagine the "bets" made on Christians going into the arena? "How big is your god, will he save you today!" "I'm betting on the lion!" The soldiers cast lots for Christ's clothes. That could have been tesserae (mosaic floor squares) designed similar to dice... or it could have been casting lots as in straw lengths.. So, when you gamble by throwing dice or casting lots, think of this... some of the early history of gambling was over the death of Christians, and more importantly, the death of Christ. Talk about pagan roots. Gambling is "of the world". Christians are called out of the world. So, WWJD?
