Apparently, now sharing Bible passages are a violation of Facebook’s ever-changing “Community Standards.”
In the future, please place your blog content into our bloggers forum.
I see Bible passages shared on FB all the time. Those people aren't being banned.
Welcome to Free Republic.
Please don’t alter titles as you did here. Please post ALL of the blog. Not an excerpt.
I can’t imagine what insult is given here.
I’m going to post this on my EffBook page now. I’ll let you know what happens.
Any reason is a great reason to quote scripture.
Luke 10 King James Version (KJV)
10 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.
2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.
5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
6 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.
8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
11 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
13 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.
15 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.
16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
23 And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:
24 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word.
40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
I don’t do FB or Twitter. I’m sure they feel my absence keenly. ;s
I FB only to stay in touch with siblings, nephews, immediate family.
I left twitter. Nothing but toxin on twitter.
Maybe the Gideons asserted copyright ownership.
Me, too.
I quote scripture on FB frequently. Haven’t been banned yet.
It’s the algorithms. I’ve written dozens of FB Notes, many on controversial topics including all manner of discussion here at FR sufficient to ‘trigger’ a lefty.
Sometimes my writing triggers the steel trap, sometimes it doesn’t. My hypothesis is that they’ve been testing this past year.
However, it has become clear of-late that the algorithms have been enhanced to look not only at combinations of words, URLs and prior content (I assert a secret “ranking” for FB users), but live content as well. I narrowed down to 2 sentences in one note which was flagging it, but when I pasted the same text into a new note: Nothing. In the note with all the other content: Flagged and unable to edit. Their new stealth trick is a message that vaguely-states “cannot open this note now” and at that point NO CONTENT IS SAVED and it CANNOT BE PUBLISHED. I’ve literally had posts I WAS STILL TYPING get flagged. Furthermore, I have numerous notes in draft format which are time-intensive, one of which just this weekend I can no longer edit without removing key phrases & URLs (I obsessed on it until I figured out what was flagging the FB Police).
Whatever is happening at FB is not being widely-reported, but one thing is clear: This portends what’s ahead for the coming 11 months.
Indeed. It is one thing to post a link to a page for documentation, or excerpts from a long article (both of which I often do), but another to post just an intro or the beginning to a personal blog post, as if to say, "click here to get hits for my blog for my advertisers."
At least this much should have been provided:
With the recent Facebook ban of several high-profile users, many wonder if our freedom of speech is being jeopardized. A right of choice and expression has always been built into Christian thought, so when that freedom is directly threatened, how should our faith inform our response? When taken with any form of extremism, should it be censored? Or from a Christian perspective, should we be free to express our beliefs?
The answer is simple yes there are some things that shouldn’t be online but social media giants are taking this fight to another level. According to True Pundit, Carol Waldmann, a Pennsylvania Mom, and wife, who logged onto her Facebook account to find her post from the Book of Luke in the Bible were scrubbed from her timeline. Apparently, now sharing Bible passages are a violation of Facebook’s ever-changing “Community Standards.” Luke, Chapter 10 to be exact.
“The secular left is at it again denying my link in a Facebook post to an online bible,” Waldmann said in an interview with True Pundit.
Then comes an ad, which I do not see since is the MVPS host file which prevents most. (Instead you see "Firefox can’t find the server at googleads.g.doubleclick.net."
Also, before running with such stories, an attempt should made to get the whole story.
Still up on my page .....
FascistBook doesn’t have “community standards”, it has censorship standards. The left can lie all day and never get in trouble for it, while conservatives get censored all the time for telling the truth.
