What happened to these people?

well now we can add SFIC and Linda64 to the list, anyone know why they got banned?

 

I don´t know exactly, but there was a thread a while back where he said the Christ was not God in the OT, or something of that nature. I don´t remember it exactly or even which thread it was.

Personally I am not bothered to see him or Linda go. Their legalism and judgmental spirit caused much friction here.

 

Wow, are ya'll kidding? I've been gone for a week with no computer access and sfic and linda are banned. I didn't exactly agree with them (90% of the time I thought they were wrong) but I never saw anything that would require banning. Most of the time I got a laugh out of their tag teaming. If you disagreed to strongly with the old man, Linda would jump in and defend him no matter how wrong he was. I'll miss them in a way. Then again, standing firm mostly stood firm in his own opinion rather than Christ and that I won't miss.

 

Now I see that HisWordIsTruth has also been banned. His last posts was April 17.

SFIC last posted at 11:00 Friday morning (in this thread, no less;, and Linda 64 posted around 10:30 Friday night. You always wonder what happened.

 

After doing a search for all of sfiC's posts in the last 11 months (since my traveling days and sickness), I cannot find one single post where he said Jesus was not God. Can you point me to that statement? I find it hard to believe sfiC would say such a thing! I did find one where he said that LORD in the OT is referring to Jehovah God, is that what you are talking about? I do not think He was questioning the deity of Jesus Christ in that thread. As a matter of fact, sfiC clearly states that in the thread and many just brushed that statement off. Since the thread is closed, I will ask a question here... In Psalm 110:1, David said The Lord said unto my Lord, sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. Who were David referring to as LORD and Lord if LORD (all caps) in the OT was not in direct reference to the Father and Lord (just first letter capitalized) is not in direct reference to the Son? I do know that lord (no caps) was in reference to man.

 

I'd like to know too. If not then that would be bearing false witness.

So, how long until they are back?

 

I can't remember which thread, but he stated "thou shall have no other gods besides Me" didn't apply to Jesus, only The Father. It was a thread on whether rejection of Christ was a sin or not, I believe.

 

I don't know, but shouldn't he be entitled to his opinion?

There are members who believe in women preachers,evolution, and so on.
That's offensive and not Baptist thinking or Biblical.

 

Y'all need to go over to the Conversion Stories thread and read SFIC's testimony. You'll find there a very young Christian in a stubborn old man's body. We could have been strong enough to help both of them grow. He was very vocal about wine use among Christians and very apt to be judgmental. You'll find out why if you would read his testimony. Personally I will miss him and Linda. My prayer is that they should find a Church that will help them grow into a faithful, grace giving, brother and sister. raying:

 

Excuse me, I don't want to hijack this thread, but women preachers have been in the ABC churches since before the 1900s....

It may not be historical within your particular brand of Baptist, but it not alien to American Baptists...

See, you are right... afterall, we all have opinions... and as long as we recognize they are opinions and not set them on the same level as scripture, then we will be ok....

Gonna miss SF and Linda too... disagreed with them 99.999999 % of the time, but will still miss them.

SF was banned once, I don't know if he will get a second chance... but I don't remember Linda ever being banned....

Welcome back Diggin!

 

Did they violate the BB rules?

 

Seems to me both sfiC and Linda64 depended upon Scripture to back up their statements on the BB concerning their stance on many issues. Judgmental? Since they used Scripture, it was not them being judgmental, but the Word of God was doing the judging. "Judge righteous judgment" John 7:24 Legalistic? If what they were posting was backed by Scripture, how in the world is that being legalistic? Seems there are people pointing fingers claiming 'judgmentalism' when they are judging wrongly themselves.

 

ahem...but we all "use Scripture". It was most definately them being judgemental. Case in point, SFIC resurected a post on alcohol (on of your favorites, if I recall ) that nobody posted on in SIX MONTHS just to spread vitriol. That may have been the nail in the coffin.

His claim that "thou shall have no gods besides Me" does and did not apply to Christ is heresy.

 

I have read, well scanned, through many of the threads posted by sfiC, and so far I have not found rules that were broken. Think it may be a vendetta by Dr. Bob. He did call sfiC's saying LORD (all caps) refering to God the Father a heresy. If it was just a vendetta, it is a shame. Bitterness is not becoming of a Christian.

 

webdog, I read that. Exodus 20:2 shows who is speaking when it puts LORD in all caps. Who is Lord and LORD in Psalm 110:1 speaking of if not Jesus and God? Would not Psalm 110:1 strengthen sfiC's stance that LORD in Exodus is speaking of Jehovah God?

 

There were some "doozies" on this thread, too, like "unbelief doesn't send you to hell, rejection does"

Can They be separated? We CAN have other gods besides Christ, just not the Father

 

I got this from Linda by personal email.

Hi Mel,

Not sure if you got my previous email...but by now you probably know that Ron and I have been banned permanently from the BB. We are upset now...and still in shock because their reason was really dumb. I was guilty by association and Dr. Bob accused Ron of teaching Modalism.

God bless,
Linda & Ron

Not sure what Modalism is. Do y'all?

 

There was only one instance of separation between the Father and the Son... at the cross. But the fact remains. He did say who it was that was speaking. It was the LORD, the Father who said Thou shalt have no other gods before me. No answer for the Lord and LORD of Psalm 110:1? Who was David referring to? Was that not a prophecy of Christ sitting at the right hand of the Father?

 

From Webster's Defined Unabridged Dictionary: Mo"dal*ist\, n. (Theol.) One who regards Father, Son, and Spirit as modes of being, and not as persons, thus denying personal distinction in the Trinity. --Eadie. Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, © 1996, 1998 MICRA, Inc. If what sfiC said in the Is This Fair thread is what is being referred to as modalism, I would say he was banned wrongfully. He did not deny the deity of Christ, He showed the distinction between the Father and the Son when he showed that it was the LORD God speaking. There is a definite distinction between LORD and Lord as showed in Psalm 110:1 The Lord said unto my Lord. I see no heresy when compared with other Scripture. sfiC only showed the distinction.
