Members GraceSaved Posted February 21, 2014 Members Share Posted February 21, 2014 For the short time I've been on this site, I have been referred to as a "sipping saint," "relativist," "reformed Calvinist," "ecumenical," "liberal," "professing Christian," and told that I was "marked." For what? Because I have a mind, an opinion and can express myself? Because I made comments on a few topics in a short time? By this, people know who I am, where I came from, where I'm going, how I live my life on a daily basis? What my struggles are, my fears, temptations, victories. This forum isn't life or church or real community. You can't "know" people here on a personal level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AVBibleBeliever Posted February 21, 2014 Members Share Posted February 21, 2014 You don't want to know me better. You wanted to know my gender to point out if I had a right to post some of the topics I posted. knowing your gender is very important in knowing you as a person especially because I can't see you to know the difference. And by that knowledge I could scripturally address your posts according to your gender. Because I say things to men differently than to women just a s God's word does. for example I can encourage you to study 2Tim2:15 but I would not encourage you to teach Christian men. the first is commanded of all the second is commanded only to women like yourself.

Administrators HappyChristian Posted February 21, 2014 Administrators Share Posted February 21, 2014 Okay, that's enough, AV. This is a woman telling you to stop hassling GS about gender. Like it or not. There is nothing Christian, godly, or even manly about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AVBibleBeliever Posted February 21, 2014 Members Share Posted February 21, 2014 This is not church. You're not my pastor or spouse. We're all strangers on a forum posting topics. This is a virtual gathering or assembling place of the body of Christ, believers whether you or anyone else like it, and this truth will stand at the judgement seat of Christ to which you will give account a to how you built on the foundation of Jesus Christ. the Church your referring to is a building or organization, however the body of Christ is not a building or organization it is a spiritual Body that surpasses walls and time. So wherever the Body of Christ comes together it is an assembly of believers. you don't have to agree but it is a truth. Just because they didn't have Internet in Paul's day doesn't mean God didn't speak on the assembly of believers over the Internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AVBibleBeliever Posted February 21, 2014 Members Share Posted February 21, 2014 You have no authority over me. I never claimed any authority over you. But you do believe the word of God has authority over you don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AVBibleBeliever Posted February 21, 2014 Members Share Posted February 21, 2014 I will stop now on this subject. I only teasingly said that I called GS a she because of her disappointed thread. Which by her replies I know without a shadow of a doubt GraceSaved is a female. be blessed and don't let the sun go down on your anger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GraceSaved Posted February 21, 2014 Author Members Share Posted February 21, 2014 I never claimed any authority over you. But you do believe the word of God has authority over you don't you? Of course. The mods on this forum have authority, which you seem to be undermining, because you continue to want to point out my gender and stifle my style of posting topics as teaching to Christian men. Although this is primarily an IFB site, I am not IFB and do not submit to IFB teachings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
