First of all, use your own common sense. You know whether or not you are following Christ. You know whether or not you are a Christian. If you are, and desire to discuss a Christian topic as a Christian, feel free to post here. If you are not a Christian, but are genuinely interested in the Christian Faith, and wish to learn how to become a Christian, then feel free to post here. If you are not a Christian, and want to ask questions about the Christian faith, don't post here-- post at the orginal message board.

I don't like to delete messages. And I won't. If you wish to disrupt things here, then go ahead and do so. But in doing so, think about what you are doing. Do you have any code of ethics? A reputation to defend? Are you tolerant of religion? Do you have so little respect and patience that you would post on a Christian message board just to disrupt things? What kind of a person are you? If you disrupt, it hurts nobody but yourself. Of course, however, if you begin to post continually in order to disrupt, I WILL be forced to delete messages, and perhaps even ban you. But for the most part, I trust that you respect my endeavors, as I do yours.

How will I judge what "disrupting" really is?
1) Questions about the Christian faith from a non-Christian persepctive (i.e. 'why do you Christians do this when this says that?' or 'why do you trust a Bible that contradicts itself?')
2) Vulgarity
3) Challenges to the Christian Faith.
4) Expressing completely unorthodox opinions (i.e. Christ didn't really raise from the dead, the Virgin Birth was just symbolic, the Bible isn't actually infallible, etc. These statement contradict the cardinals of the Christian Faith)
5) Against a certain denomination. (this may go for other Christians as well. e.g., Catholics are antichrists bnecause they believe that men can forgive sins, Presbyterians are heretics because they teach this..., etc.)

Peace and prayer,
Gabriel
