If his modus operandi is to ignore discussion on message boards (whose sole purpose is discussion), then I will continue to ignore him.

Finally, you are getting what many people have been saying.

It's because they've given up on "legalistic arguements".

>>>there is no justification for his reprehensible, condescending behavior..

Tom-
Of course you're right, there's no justifying his line of crap but I defend his right to be a fanatic.
Where I draw the line is the point where he believes he's obligated to act out his sickness.
You have stated here somewhere that you are a follower of the Baha'i Faith.
So let's get stupid here, Tom.
Why are you not bombarding this board with endless reams of doctrinal references encompassing the entire experience of this planet and the emergence of mankind and God's plan and your role in it ad nauseum according to your personal belief in the validity and value of the Baha'i Faith?
Could it be that out of respect for your beliefs you dont wish to expose them to such blatant ridicule as you have seen displayed here because a self appointed God expert has sullied the Faith of Christ with his rantings?
I suspect so.
Perhaps you are a person who holds his religious beliefs dear and tries to fashion his life in accordance, knowing its influence will be a reflection of its reality and reveal its validity through your actions.
To me that is exactly the way to follow a body of teachings or a revelation or whatever you call it.-
With respect toward others, los demas, everyone else.
Should you get nutsoid and decide to zealotize us heathens (your right) with volumns of quotations and all-the-answers-to-everything from the teachings of your faith- then you will be pounced on as well.
I will lead the charge.
But you know that and so you keep your religion where it belongs-
In your heart- the only place where faith can take hold and really live...cc

Hi Carl Cuseo,

First of all, that "Dammit" in my earlier post wasn't pointed at you . . . or anyone, it was just an expression of disgust and anger. My response follows:

I am indeed a Baha‘i, and this is one of the reasons I frequent the Religious Threads, since Bahai's respect all world religions, even Christianity (it's more than respect, but now is not the time to further explain). Like you, I have to draw the line somewhere; and his hypocrisy and lies went way over it for me.

I'm not sure I was clear in explaining that WordWeaver spouts his drivel in any way he personally wishes, then says it is the word of God, so it must be true. When called on it, the boy simply ignores the question, then says he reserves the right to not discuss with anyone he wishes to avoid. That's hypocrisy.

Then, WordSpinner says that once a person shows their "obvious, direct and intentional rejection of the Gospel of Jesus Christ" he will no longer communicate with them. But, he goes to another thread and starts annoying Henry who has often stated his "obvious, direct and intentional rejection of the Gospel of Jesus Christ", but to no avail. So we see, he won't talk to me about a religious matter though I have never rejected Christianity, but he continues to bother Henry, who has expressly done so. And there's the lie.

>>>It is a lie, and it is a deception; yet the world may soon embrace this very kind of demonic doctrine from hell!

Bash the faithful WHEREVER you might find them!

Glad to see you getting back to what you're best at.
