>> My post causes you concern, yet you say my belief constitues anti-Semitic rhetoric??? I am posting on a FAITH board, am I not? So in essence, what you are saying is you can post your experience on the Faith board, but I’m not allowed to quote the Bible on the Faith board, am I correct? Jesus Himself was Jewish, can you please explain to me where you get the idea I’m being anti-Semitic? I’d also like to know what portion of my post constitutes anti-semitic rhetoric?? Perhaps I feel the same way you do about your posts, but I’m not allowed to say anything about it or I’ll receive a PBC, PBS, or be blocked for my opinions, or quoting the Bible….

Kiddo,
Welcome home.
For what it's worth I don't think you got cautioned for quoting the bible or stating your beliefs but for the way you said what you did. It seems like there shouldn't be a difference between saying "you are on the wrong road" and "my church teaches that that is the wrong road" but in practice there is. One is a more personal criticism. I think that when you say "You are wrong" people have this compulsion to reply "No I'm not. You are." And it goes back and forth, with each round getting angrier, until no one can talk to each other about anything.
I think we all believe our own version of the truth is correct. I'm as rigid as anyone else in that respect. We've set up a society that says it is better to at least give lip service to other peoples rights to their own beliefs than to constantly be at war over it. And we've got a board here which takes a similar stand. I think that's a good thing. It lets people avoid getting so angry at each other over one issue that they can't speak to each other about anything at all.
Again. Welcome home. What a miserable thing to end up in the middle of after a long trip.
Affectionately,
Jane

PS. I'll be answering Lou too.
