Did You Scorn Leaving the UPC?

That doesn't answer why here and for the record, you can't do what you want.

You are permitted to do certain things here but not everything. Thus you are permitted to whine about the UPC even though you are no longer in it and I am permitted to reciprocate

But that does not answer, of all forums, WHY here in a forum where UPCers are would you do this?

You can climb Mt Everest too...do you? There is always a reason and "Because I can" is not a reason. It's the reason you are able to, not the reason you choose to.

Yes, I see more 'UPC' stuff though.

And I have said things about Timmy and others doing it.

But we try to allow open discussions, openess without bashing. truth should not fear testing.

But if you do have a problem with a certain post, you need to report it so the Admins can see it. We don't and cant read all posts

Exactly.

But if more and more of you guys would report these posts to the Admin so they can see, perhaps something would happen

I see more anti-Bible/faith/Christian postings. Perhaps it comes down to what discussions are accessed, how this is viewed.

May I ask a question on this statement found in the rules? "We welcome and encourage visitors of other faiths to post and ask sincere questions in their honest search to learn more of our faith and about our wonderful Lord, Savior, and God whose name is Jesus Christ."

While you are most correct that truth should not fear testing, when participants are here who openly share they are either atheist or agnostic, my thoughts are they are not posting and asking "sincere questions in their honest search to learn more of our faith and about our wonderful Lord." When they continually attempt to cast doubts upon the Bible and faith, how is this allowed day after day, month after month and year after year? Posts are not questions or discussions because they want to learn about God, but rather appear to be because they wish to share how they feel the Bible is discredited or how faith is worthless and so on.

As this is an Apostolic board and the putting down of man-made Apostolic organizations is not welcomed here (there is a reason for my saying man-made...it is not a cut), then why is there not the same cry against the other, which is not man-made? The latter is set up by God & the former is about organizations set up by man that will come to an end.

My question is, how do these other posts (anti-Bible/faith/Christian) fall within your written forum rules? If ILG and anyone else is told to take her UPC related posts to ex-pents, then why aren't these others being told to take their posts to an atheist or agnostic board?

Use the Post Reporting tool. Let the Admin know.

You are right, however God has infinity patience, a person might rant for years against God, but they can not do nothing against the kingdom of God, Christianity keeps on growing despite the attacks from atheists and others.

God gives people time to repent, even if an atheist lives to be 100 years old there will be a day when that atheist is gone but Christianity will still be here.

For centuries atheists and their ilk have attacked God and the Bible, they are all gone, but the Bible and God are still here.
