Wait, as long as Quix has been here you don't already know what he believes? I'm being bluntly honest here Cronos, but how can you not know what Quix believes? It's not like he hides it or changes what he believes to blend in.

I mean, I could understand if you didn't know what I believed, since I haven't been posting as long as Quix has and only by going through all my posts could you actually begin to piece it together, but Quix is fairly well known on the Religion Forum. I thought you guys knew what he believed?

changes what he believes to blend in.

I Agree, If change is to blend in it is compromising and No Good.

Now to my point. Spiritual growth comes from change. For instance because of not wanting to fall into my preconceived notions I am willing to risk the criticism that comes as I change my views based on new revelations.

A few weeks ago I was all excited that the antichrist was muslim based on a teaching I heard recently, now I am not so sure.

So far these are my main posted convictions on FR.

Jesus Christ is everything and

Replacement theology is a lie.

I changed and dropped the IMHO when I state Replacement theology is a lie on FR about a week ago. I know it is a lie.

but how can you not know what Quix believes?

I know through Quix's statements that he believes, as I do that Jesus Christ is Lord, God and Savior. He believes in the Trinity

But, if you go by his posts, one sometimes comes to the wrong conclusion that he believes in some things that he does not -- I won't repeat them, but I have pointed out to him before that a link he used to use last year (before your joined), gave the wrong impression of what he believed

So, bluntly, one learns each day.

How am I supposed to know if Quix believes in say baptism is for the remission of sins (not the "forgiving force" of course, as that is purely Christ's sacrifice on the cross) or in the concept of the process of sanctification? The only way is if he SHARES it, which to his credit, he has done.

My point in that post was -- if I discuss with say a Lutheran on the Eucharist, I share with him what I believe and he/she shares what they believe. For me or he to start by cursing the others or saying "you believe xxx" when xxx is not true to the other person cuts off conversation.

You want to believe in the Rapture, I personally say, fine, believe. you explain it to me WHY you believe this or any other point of doctrine and watch my posts about YOUR BELIEFS -- I will be respectful about your beliefs, even if I disagree soundly with them because slapping you ends a conversation and does not help me convey my point at all.

I double dare you to point out any place where someone shares their faith and I spit in their face as you have done here or others have done to my faith.

If you, however, repeat a lie about my beliefs that is quite a different matter from you saying "ok, I believe this, this, this and you believe something different. I think you are wrong for these reasons" -- do you see the difference in tone?

You joined in 2010, now evidently you haven't seen the level of continuous harassment, ridicule and haranguing of my beliefs -- like you yourself going on with your statements that I am not Christian. You know what? in 2010 I got fed up of repeating the defensive statements and started using the same tactics as the attackers.

But I realised only by December 2010 that most of these attackers were never sharing their beliefs and when the CAtholics had left the forum, they went into the little Pre-mil, post-mil, a-mil vile threads -- I call them vile because they were the same as the threads attacking MY beliefs -- "you believe in ...., you worship Israel, you do this, this this" and you know what? that serves no Christian

For me to disagree with another Christian is one thing, but to be reduced to a hate match? What does it serve? Read your post 196 and see the level of hate you've kept
