To all members,

Mark has requested i "take a break" from posting due to the sheer power of my convictions in regards to the faith. I am sure he would word it differently but I really don't care. I am an incredible passionate defender of the Inerrant, Holy Spirit Inspired and Infallible Word of God. As Mark publically stated in the Assumption thread, he doesn't like my characterization of those that, in my opinion and through personal research, those that twist the Word for their persuit of power or "Wolves in Shepherds Clothing". He also stated the the clergy here took offense though not a single one as said anything to me either publically or privately.

Some here make the effort to take cheap shots when i do not immediately respond to something they say as "running away" as if their words are of any value to me. Well I obviously will not be responding for some time by request. I am not running away though I expect certain members of this forum will take this as license to slander me and just as certain that Mark will fail to rebuke them. Keep in mind when it happens, that only a coward takes cheap shots at a person that is not present to defend themselves.

I am guessing that I will still be able to access the email on this site if any wish to email me though I can not guaruntee that. If I am still able to and any wish to email me feel free I will respond as I have time to do so. Until then, c-ya.

My choice to go is not mine its Marks if and when he, in his own opinion think a suitable time has passed i fugure he will let me know. Feel free to email me though I have always enjoyed your insights.

This thread is not an appropriate topic for the forum... it was made in anger and is tied to a series of emails. I will respond to it quickly then close the thread.

My concern was with Scott (called2freedom) calling the denominations we respesent "wolves in sheeps clothing".... that's disrepectful. Here's the exact email I sent him:

Scott,

At a bare minimum, the denominations listed on the home page of this site are to be respected as good & decent Christian denominations. If you can't do that, then your objectives are not in harmony with the theme of this community.

To clarify, you are free to disagree with doctrine and such, however, calling the administration of any of these churches "wolves" or anything such as this is disrespectful and will not be tolerated.

Here's a snippet of his response to me:

"They are indeed wolves in shepherds clothing. They are the most foul of the foul. They purposefully lead the flock astray with false teachings and false docturine. They add what sounds good but is in actuality evil. They go beyond the Word of God for gain which serve only to add to their own power.

Like many I celebrated when Jim Baker and Oral Roberts were exposed as frauds and stripped of their power to further fleece the flock. I hoped to see they same from the catholic church when they commited the evil against children for which they are guilty. Unlike the protestants churches which you catholic continue to heap scorn upon the catholic churches covered they guilt and refused to repent of their evil. And they did so with the full support of the highest levels of the catholic leadership including Bispop John Paul.

You lecture me for calling out evil? By continuing to support the catholic church there is just as much blood on your hands as there is on the bishop of rome."

Obviously, he disregarded anything I said about being civil on the forums... and furthermore, him choosing to make this whole situation a "public issue" was also inappropriate.

Scott, rest your soul... people are praying for you... then one day when you're ready to tone down with the disrespect, come back and see us. This is my fault for not following my gut feeling in the first place.
