Is there free speech on Free Republic?
Can Freepers debate or do they simply look to make Free Republic an insulated echo chamber where they won’t have to handle any challenges?
Certainly reasonable people and many not so reasonable can discuss many conservative issues and principles as well as Christianity and even some other religions fairly freely on FR.
We don’t tolerate Anti-semitism here.
And, in terms of culture and preferences of MOST “Christian” posters hereon, we don’t tend to think much of folks who trash part of the accepted Canon of Scriptures.
Roman Catholics et al vs Prottys will haggle endlessly over the Apocrapha. And there have been a few haggle over Paul’s letters and influences on Christianity.
However, on the whole, those who try to trash New or Old Testament books which are accepted by CHRISTIANS as part of the Canon—those blokes tend to get what they deserve in terms of acceptance of their heretical notions. None of the Trinitarian Christians I’m most familiar with hereon tolerate very well the trashing of any of the New or Old Testament books.
Also, a number of folks have trotted into camp and been quite coy about their particular flavor of “Christianity” and insisted that they refuse to abide by or submit to any sort of short-hand labeling of their “Christianity.”
If they say very much at all over very much time at all, sooner or later, their particular cult will be outted. We have a lot of very sharp, well read, well educated and well experienced folks hereon. We don’t tend to be impressed nor very comfortable with folks who play coy games like that. We tend to see such coyness as very sanctimonious and offensive—at least cheekily distasteful.
You might find some Calvinists Preterists, A-Mils, Post-Mils who’d agree with you about Israel and your heretical REPLACEMENTARIAN theology. None of them [that I’m aware of] would support your trashing of Revelation.
Dude,
There is Free Speech on FR.
