Banned from AMF, AGAIN!

Hopefully they will consider the combined testimony of those of us who did participate in the AMF tithing debate.

You asked for scripture to support the teaching of tithing. You asked for honest debate. I regret that you didn't have the opportunity to view my very lengthy post, Bro. Sander's post, Bro. Anderson's post, Bro. Wofford's post, and Bro. Sacker's post regarding the scriptural teachings of tithing. All were well written, documented, and contained many scriptures that support the view and illustrate the principle of tithing in the New Testament Church.
...

I only saw Jason's first "banning" incident on AMF and not this one. I then watched as the "banner" (Ohio Pastor) went through his predictable games making false accusations and taunting over here on AFF.

The part that I have highlighted above is what my complaint is really all about; both in how I was treated on AMF and how I watched others being treated as well.

It seems that those who question the "Typically Pentecostal" arguments never do get to see all of the "proof" that's available to support that viewpoint.

I never got to see any of the proof that I was accused of "ignoring" on the "Apostolic History" thread that T.S. started.

"Oh! My books are packed away..."
"Oh! I don't remember exactly..."
"Oh! Brother so-and-so knows this, I'll tell him you asked..."
"Oh! My grandma told me once, but I forget the rest..."

Then I was taunted for my "ignorance." Check out the thread and tell me where I went wrong on AMF.

In the meantime I am forced to accept Jason's explanation (despite your very real kindness exhibited here) because it fits the tone of everything that I witnessed.

You've experienced good fortune so far, but they will eventually eliminate you, as well. Especially when they find out how much you love AFF.

Jay who? That is TJJJ



I doubt it.

I enjoy this forum much better because of the freedom of expression. I know when to keep my mouth shut!

My posting there has almost ceased.

I think Jason was wrong in that he knows how to read signs as well as anyone else. It was evident from the beginning that he was in trouble. If he wanted to stay on the forum then he should have ceased also.

As far as Jason being comfortable here, I repeat that! Everyone here lets him have his soapbox, he is not banned, settle in and enjoy.

The martyr bit is old. He probably needs to join up with mr islam as they both would make good suicide bombers!

Hey, I completely understand where you are coming from. Anyone who has ever posted with me for any length of time knows that I've grated more than a few people by challenging their conventional thinking. There are forums, and I could definitely name them, that refuse to be questioned and allow honest debate.

But honestly, I have never felt this way about AMF. PM and let me know what threads you are referring to and I'll check them out to see for myself what happened.

I have crossed swords with the owners and admin of AMF on other forums before. However, I have found them to be very balanced and open for debate on their own forum. I have a lot of respect for people who are willing to allow debate and not try to tell you they are beyond questioning. The owner and admins of AMF have proven - at least to me - to be men who allow debate.

What issues are allowable for debate?

[Walks_in_islam]

Goading is a bit of a strong term. If (as is taught by some) tithing is essential to salvation do you or your fellows not feel a duty to stop, look, listen, and outline the basis for those who are curious?

Are you hiding your lamps under bushels when you lock your comments and teachings behind a closed forum?

However, to do so at this time is to be goaded into a debate that is already high in emotion. I don't believe rational discussion can be had when emotion is this much involved.

I never post on AFF, but I may come back after things have settled down and ressurect this topic so that we can discuss it without the emotion of this situation.

I love honest debate. I believe it helps us grow in our understanding of where we stand, as well as open our minds to new points of view. It also helps us learn how to articulate what we believe and defend it against oppositional views.
