Gay Pastor's(xupc)recent Letter to the UPCI ! ! !

It is for this reason this discussion MUST remain about scriptures.

Using scripture to defend my point of view does not make my point of view any more or less pro-homosexual.

Is a Trinitarian going to get shot down for defending the Trinity from a historical perspective since a historical argument is the strongest case they have? Isn't someone defending the Trinity subjectively a promotion of false doctrines (according to most of the subscribers on this site)? Isn't this forum at risk of limiting the expression of others opinions to the point of its very existence being futile?

If one believes their doctrinal view is absolute truth based on their interpretation of Scripture and if it is only Scripture that is allowed to be discussed, then one of the two sides of an issue is, by the very nature of the rules, going to be guilty of promoting a false doctrine.

I would accept that this discussion should remain about topics of biblical concern but to require that every post be a quote from scripture and to disallow any personal opinion, interpretation, or scientific rebuttals is unchallenging to say the least.

This is how it is going to be. I have already warned more than once. This discussion is and will ONLY be about what the BIBLE says about the subject and be limited to the intellectual discussion of both views. You have or had your chance to do that. I am not going to keep repeating it.

It will NOT be a promotion of any gay affirming ministry. It will NOT be based on emotional appeal. And sadly because nobody can comply, it will just not continue any further.

When all parties can and want to return to a discussion based on what the bible says and not these side trips and emotive appeal and promotion of gay affirming ministries you can PM an admin over it

This Thread is closed to allow the Admin Team to review it.

Brad apparently thought he would have full floor to simply give rebuttal to a letter brought to the attention of the Forum.

At some point the discussion left Biblical Principles and there was some goading of Brad.


Please do not start the discussion on another thread.
