Do you think Lighthouse is lying?
Do you think whoever banned him was wrong for doing so?No. I'm not informed enough on the subject to know either way. That's why i wanted to see where sierrasam was lying.
Do you know what he was banned for? That would go a long way in balancing the scales.Do you think whoever banned him was wrong for doing so?

Yeah we worship Knight!
:rotfl: Thats really funny considering the hundreds of non Christians who have been on TOL for years. But sierrasam and friends weren't here for discussion, they were here to cause trouble and mock and get banned. Now you want to make martyrs of them for getting what they wanted?The bannings come really freely on this site. In my personal opinion, i think that does more to stifle debate than anything, so yes. That doesn't necessarily have anything to do with what sierrasam said, though.
People that go so far to suppress different opinions aren't always that confident in their own, from my experience.

Some of the bannings do seem to come quickly, this is there board but not all of the noobs were here to cause problems.I don't know about others, but it looked like sierrasam had been here for a while. I'll admit i'm very new here. I wasn't trying to make a martyr of anyone; i was just looking for clarification. Still, none of that has to do with the nature of bannings here.
Sometimes things move fast a furious. We have been around a long time and have been attacked by groups much more ominous than "rogue mountain bikers", we are fully aware that there may be some collateral damage when dealing with these types of things.Some of the bannings do seem to come quickly, this is there board but not all of the noobs were here to cause problems.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning ...Notice how much smoother today is? :thumb:
He committed sins that should have been crimes. Adultery, for example, should be recriminalized.
I'm seeing a lot of this going on here:
Luke 18:9-14
(9) And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
(10) Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
(11) The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
(12) I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
(13) And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
(14) I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Can you expand on this? Are you saying we are obligated to follow the OT law with regard to murderers and adulterers? So for example, in the run in Jesus had with the lady accused of adultery was Jesus correct in not condemning the woman? We the man around him and her also correct in not condemning her?
:cow:
I'm not very up on my religions (which is partly why i joined here) but there sure seems to be some pretty strong hate from some Christians on here. Why is that? So much of it seems to be directed towards gays, too. While, i am not gay, i don't understand all the hatred.
I am so glad for God's mercy without his mercy where would we be?Many 'Christians' disagree with Jesus and reject his teachings and merciful actions and instead promote a different teaching ... commonly the different teaching is that if you don't condemn someone then you are showing approval of their behaviour! Ha! Jesus said if you don't condemn, then you are showing God's mercy!
People can take their pick who to believe.
Seems a few of us believe Jesus
