iFrank said: Before I start on examples on the topic, just one thought on me putting people on ignore, it's my prerogative, because posters write big speeches on mostly what I wrote with simplicity. I will leave my status as is, for the posts I write is for the average person looking for Truth on the Bible…

Contrary to what iFrank says, I will be VERY succinct…Jesus’ words…

Matthew 7:15-20
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.”

My only thought, ignore him and his threads. Due to his need to ignore people and avoid comments on faith or religion, and because I asked him nicely to revisit his reasons for placing people on his ignore list, he no longer has access to create or comment in the Faith and Religion section. I regret if this action makes you or others uncomfortable, but as I clearly told him... that section is open to all people on OPP who are civil. He did not respond to me, and has elected to exclude others which in my opinion is not civil.

I hope that you will continue commenting or creating threads in Faith and Religion.

I didn't really like doing what I did but I had no choice because in my humble opinion iFrank is leading people astray with his truths mixed with lies from the pit of hell. I am more than willing to debate him concerning this but alas, he has taken the coward's way out, which to me is a BIG indicator of his true motives and hence the bible verse I used.

Thanks for doing what you can and I'll try to ignore him but it's very sad that he may be leading others astray.

I do understand your position and have found you more than an able debater on religion or other topics. I was torn about banning him from this section, but as you pointed out some of his "truth" only met his personal agenda. His inability to defend his position was his motivating factor of banning or ignoring you as well as others. I do not blame you for taking exception and finding other means to address his "filtered" truths. If at anytime you feel the need to address him by creating a thread, I ask only one thing, give us a link to his argument or quote it. Other than that, let your heat lead you.
