On threads which are like chapels or churches - devotionals, mass readings, etc. - unwanted challenges to doctrine will be removed.

Threads that present doctrine, news, Scripture, etc. are a "town square" - challenges are allowed and must be addressed on thread.

Challenges may be robust, even hostile, but only towards the doctrine - never to the other poster. Such personal attacks will be removed.

We do follow the threads and sidebars to intervene before tempers flare. But the wise posters will remember that passers-by judge each poster’s theology as much by his conduct as by his words.

Thank you for the clarification.

As I welcome the "debate' and frankly do not shy away from those would attack any or all manner of what I believe.

I am convinced that the words and tone are what will convince those who are reading the posts .
