I would like some clarification as to the truth of the rules and situation here on the FR. Several times over the last few years it has been mandated by certain users that a prerequisite for participating here, conversing here, or donating here is mandated that you must first be a White Puritan Christian. No exceptions or you are considered a Troll. You must believe what they believe exactly or you should hit the highway.
Anyone else conservative or not, are to be considered as just trolls and should excommunicate themselves and leave. This is an important clarification. Because if the owner Jim feels that only Christians of a certain Christian sect are allowed equal respect here or not. That certain one sect needs to be shared. Those who are not of that particular sect deserve the right to know that their participation and donations are not actually appreciated.
Is see animosity between even sects of Christianity battling each other here. Hate for Mormons, Hate for Catholics from Christians, Hate for Christians from Catholics, God forbid anyone who comes here and is honest and says they are an Orthodox Christian from ETHIOPIA! So what is it? Is this a domain site rule and mandate or not? Those of us who believe in the first amendment and freedom of speech and religion would like to know what the parameters are. What sect exactly is a prerequisite to participate here?
Are non Christians allowed here at all? Can one believe in God without belonging to a formal religious sect? Are any other faiths allowed based on freedom of religion? Please make this very clear, because if there is an underlying prerequisite and unwritten rule, there are many of us here who are not quite pure Bible thumping (perfect mandated sect) conservatives and would really like to know. Is our own Constitutional right to believe as we like respected here or not?
It is important to know... If those who do not fit the "exact parameters" judged as a prerequisite mandate are not appreciated and not equally respected or not. What are these please? Do these prerequisite mandates even exist here? In this fight for our country is it wise to throw the baby out with the bath water? But this baby wants to know if my patriotism and efforts to create dialog, discussion, and traffic as a conservative which equate to revenue are appreciated or not... No matter what my stance on faith might be.
Is the 1st respected here or not? If not what are the restrictive parameters limited to as a private domain? If only White Puritan Christians are allowed here then it needs to shared what sect exactly of hundreds??? A curious mind would like to know...
It took you this long to claim it. Something smells fishy.
So our disagreement is over the historicity of the bible. You claim there’s extrabiblical bullshiite that you like to include in your canon, and most christians are satisfied with the current canon, including the vast majority of historians.
You sound like a Christian SCIENCE Minister.
And the answer to your question, if you came to my church, would be no. You do not believe in the historicity of the bible nor the canon, it is likely you do not believe Jesus is God Himself. You argue dishonestly. It’s like pulling teeth. You’re pushing some anti-trinitarian agenda.
Good catch...
He posts like an atheist duck, he sounds like an atheist duck, he quacks like an atheist duck, he flies like an atheist duck, walks like an atheist duck, he’s probably an atheist duck.
Thanks for your opinion.

If I didn’t disagree with anybody, who would I talk to? Being here this long, I vote “Troll”.
I am sick of the tit for tat “Jim’s rules are” and then absolute puritanism
***I did not post those as rules, I did not give you this bullshiite absolute puritanism thing you keep yammerin on about. Learn how to NOT argue against straw positions. You do it so often it is rare to see you actually argue an honest position.
Well... I was hit in the “News” forum, The rest of the site is ripe for dictation of religion.
***Dude, YOU STARTED in on religion on that news forum. Don’t START nuthin’, won’t BE nuthin.
Come on... Give me a break... Is there NOWHERE one can be their own selves and discuss things without religion being forced on them???
***YES. On the religion forum. Feel free to post your twaddle as protected caucus nonsense on the religion forum. I doubt you will because I sense you believe a lot of hokie balokie bullshiite.
At least that one forum! Come on! :)
***Religion Forum, Dude. That’s what it is FOR. You drew first blood and now you’re whining about it getting bloody. You are a very dishonest poster.
Excuse me.....Have you bumped your head, perhaps?
What on earth are you talking about?
Something about the words, the style, the combativeness...just doesn’t ring true to me. But, that’s just my opinion, and I’m no minister or shrink.
I keyed up on him because he got real aggressive about claiming there’s extrabibilical evidence & all that happy horse shiite.
The thing to follow is if they BASE their bullshiite religion on what that extrabiblical nonsense says.
“You’re pushing some anti-trinitarian agenda.”
Of course not, If anything I am pushing a CONSTITUTIONAL agenda. It isn’t always comfortable with what we personally might believe. But it is I hope what we all want word for word.
Don’t agree, don’t like it? Then push to amend it formally. I hope this is what we all want? And the Free Republic supports first and foremost I hope?
If we give religion the priority over all, it very well could soon be sharia law we are all bending down to.. Do not take this lightly. It is just around the corner.
Thx.
That’s a claim a leftist would make.
No combativeness at all. Just being honest, Just trying to set the record straight on this topic since there are aggressive vultures of faith hitting ALL forums. Do members here deserve to know this prerequisite baseline or not? Should we not have an idea what tools we have to work with?
Here is where I keyed up on you.
You’re pushing some kind of bullshiite mysticism anti-historical approach. That makes you a bit of a charlatan or a crackpot. But if you don’t accept the canon of scripture you deserve to be tested by fire.

YES... Are you so behind you do not know this???
You might do some homework on the true history concerning the writing of the bible. And why much of it has been omitted and hidden.

You don’t even hide your anti-christian anti-biblical viewpoint. Free Republic is a Pro-God website. What are you doing here other than openly trolling?
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1103363/posts
As a conservative site, Free Republic is PRO-GOD, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc

What you are discovering is that Free Republic is open to you pushing your heretical bullshiite, we are free to correct your heretical bullshiite, and eventually if JimRob wants to he clamps down on some heresies like mormonism.
I’m GLAD you feel uncomfortable pushing your heretical bullshiite. Jesus made the false teachers of His day VERY uncomfortable so I’m modeling his behavior.
You deserve the table turning treatment.
Oops.
I’m modeling His behavior.
There’s that prerequisite word. I never used it. If you’re gonna argue against it you should show where someone said you needed to follow some prerequisite to post here. You won’t because you can’t.
I find you combative and aggressively slippery. As well as pushing a heresy with classic fallacies.
