Dr. Bob,
Are you going to accuse me of "putting down others" because I want to post that the Rider, who is the Word of God in my experiance, said to me, "I am the Lord your God, you shall have no other Gods before me"? You later suggest that I can leave in the "one God" part, but you did not include the part that I "should have no other Gods before me", so that could mean that I will be restrianed by you if I post (that part) on the faith board.
Being a jew, we have a commandment from my God that if we worship other Gods, then it is considered idolatry to us. Nor can we worship idols, either.
Now you say that you will restrain me from posting that I "should have no other Gods before me". in the telling of my experiance on the Faith board. Your rule on the faith board says that you can tell "what worked for you." It also says not put others down or pressure others. Are you saying that you will accuse me of either "pressuring others" or "putting down others" if I would tell of my faith experiance when I was told by the Rider, who is The Word of God in my experiance, to not worship other Gods?
I would like for you to clarify why you would accuse me of this, if I post the formentioned quote on the faith board,, as to how another poster can post that she is catholic and her religion tells her not to forsake going to church, or it is a sin to her and you did not restrain her and accuse her of "putting down others", or "pressuring others" because she told of one of the parts to Her religion that she is to follow. Are you telling me that a catholic person can freely tell of there parts of there religion that they are to follow, but a jewish person, like myself, will be restrained from telling their parts of their religion that they are to follow on this electronic bullitin board?
I would like to know what your descriminating rational is to make such a restraint upon me, and how your rational allows the Catholic person to post their parts of their religion that they are to follow. If you would clarify that, then I could have a better knowlege to rationals on this board that you use to determine acceptability and then I could formulate my posts to accomodate those rationalas. As of now, I am under the impresson that catholics can tell of parts of their religion that they are to follow, but jewish people, like myself, on this board will be restrained if they post one of the parts of their religion that they are to follow,ie, to have no other Gods before them. I am Not saying that others Must follow the jewish God and niether is the Catholic person saying that others Must follow their God and go to their church. I am not putting people down because I am a jew and niether is the Catholic lady putting people down because she says that she is a Catholic. Are you saying that the Zen person that posts here is could alo be accused of"putting people down" because they post of their Zen beliefs using your rational? I am telling my experiance , as I have been invited by you to do on the faith board which was created for people to tell of their faith as your opening page states on the faith board.
I would like to continue telling of my experiance on the faith board so that others could see it and then choose, if they want to, to see if it could help them, for you said that the faith board was for me to tell my experiance because since it worked for me, then it could have the potential to work for others. But I can not do so untill you clarify if you are going to restrain me from posting the post in question here and what your descrimiating rational is so that I can accomodate your rational.
