Friends,
As this Jesus of Chritianity began to speak after His declaration of who He was, He was greeted by a multitude of people and His first words to them were, " Blessed are the poor in Spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven."

In reply to What are Christians? Is Rousseau correct?10, posted by Lou Pilder on September 25, 2004, at 20:21:25
Friends,
This Jesus of Christianity could be the Jesus and Christianity that Jean Jaques Roussea was referring to. I belive that it was , for the history of the world, and in the time period of Jean Rousseau's time, the Jesus that spoke the previous words was the same Jesus.
This Jesus Jean Rousseau says [...preaches only servitude and dependence...].
Is that what this Jesus of Christianity preached in the previous posts? Is mourning a part of this dependence and servitude that Jean Roussear writes about? Is being merciful part of the dependence that Jean Rousseau wrote Bout?
Are hungering and thirsting for rightiousness part of what Jean Rousseau was referring to as dependance and servitude? Would not servitude to rightiousness be a good quality for a person to have?
I have questions that I would like anyone to answer. Is Jean Jaques Rouseauu the athourity here on this Jesus of Christianity? If so, where does he get this authority from?

Friends,
Jean Jaques Rousseau write, [...christianity preaches only servitude and dependence....true christians are made to be slaves...].
Let us look at what this Jesus of Christianity said .
He was questioned greatly about life. And on one occasion when questioned on why He was here for people, He said," I come that they may have life and that they might have it more abundanly."
Does that sound like what Jean Rouseaau says about Christianity?

Gabbix,
Thank you for your interest in this discussion. You wrote,[...should be ...on the faith board...].
Well, the posts in question are in relation to refuting Jean Jaques Rousseau's accusations that [...Christianity preaches only servitude and dependence,...made to be slaves...short life counts little...]in a thread that it is relevant to. If i was to post it on the faith board, then it would not appear in the thread here.

Gabbix2,
This thread is an administrative discussion on what in part is written on the opening page of the faith board that I beliveis defaming to Christians and others and I am in a dialog with Dr. Hsiung in referrence to my request that the referrences that use Jean Rousseau either be removed or ckarified as to if the forum endorses what is in question here.
It is my belife that the statements in question by Rousseau are in violation of the forum's goal of support, for I belive that the statements by Rousseau put down the christians faith and that is why I have posted the posts that you have asked about. I am showing that Rousseau's accusations about Christianity are not consistant with the Jesus of Christianity in relation to what He preached, for what that Jesus preached is different from what Rousseau writes about Christianity.
If this is so, then could not the parts on the faith board by Rousseau be deemed false and deserve to be removed?
I hope this gives more light on why I posted the posts in question. The posts are part of a dialog with me and Dr. Hsiung and others in this thread, not something that I wanted to post as a faith post. So I am not seeking faith responses . If I was, then I would post it on the faith board.

I think you voiced your disagreement very eloquently in that single post Groovy Lou. The reason I mentioned that I thought this belonged on the Faith board was because read individually the single posts appeared to me to be Bible Teachings..
By the time I got to the bottom I'd lost your original point.
However after reading "Lou's reply to Gabbix2-B" I understand your concerns much better.
And I really don't mind if you post 10 times
or 12, (except in certain situations) but I do think others would alsounderstand what you had to say much better from a single post (or a Gabbi double) But I know you've heard all that before : )
Then again, I'm hardly one to give advice on how to get one's point across succinctly.Foiled again.
Last post for me!

Gabbi2,
thank you for your reply. I guess I better let it out here. You see, I can not write any other way than I do. I have a rare neurological disorder that prohibits me from posting (normally?). Your comments are kind ones about my posting.

Normal? I understand, and I'm sorry that you had to explain, if it hadn't made such a significant difference in my ease of understanding I wouldn't have mentioned it.

Lou,
I have just been an observer to your thread because I am not well informed about your topic.Nevertheless, I wanted to jump in to say that I believe it was very brave and generous of you to share with Gabbi and the board the underpinnings of your posting style. I applaud you. Can you hear my applause from your end of the city in which we both live? :)
Take care,

"Tolerance should be given to all religions that tolerate others, so long as their dogmas contain nothing contrary to the duties of citizenship. But whoever dares to say: Outside the Church is no salvation, ought to be driven from the State."
I, personally, think this statement says an awful lot, but it does not mention ANY particular faith.
What I see it as saying, is that any "nation" is made up of many different religious beliefs, and that all should be tolerated. To me, it says that salvation can *only* be found within any particular religion is incorrect, and that all different beliefs should be respected.I rather like that quote. I don't know the full of what it comes from, but Dr Bob didn't post the full text, only what I have quoted above.

Friends,
I thank all of you who have shown interest in this discussion. To some, it may be just another topic of discussion, but to me, it is the most important topic.
The foundation of the attitude toward people of faith is being brought to our attention on the faith board with Jean Jaques Rousseau's writing with a link to click on that goes into a chapter of his writing. All of this could be looked at and perhps several different ideas could be arrived at after reading the link's content and the quote by Rousseau on the faith board. Is it clear as to what the forum's attitude tpward people of faith is? I do not think so and that is why I am asking for clarification from the moderator about the parts in question.

I agree. The post is about religious tolerance and in keeping with the spirit of the Faith board.
I think the baby is being thrown out with the bathwater.

In reply to Lou's concern about the quote by Jean Rousseau, posted by Lou Pilder on September 26, 2004, at 9:40:02
Friends,
There are two parts to the quote seen without clicking on the link. One part says that [...tolerance should be given to all religions that tolarate others...] and I have no qualm with that, for I believe that it goes without saying that a forum about faith that is open to the public would have that ideal.
But it is the second part of that quote that concerns me,[...whoever dares say that outside the church is no salvation...] and the linking to the other parts of Rousseau's writing that I am asking for clarification for.

In reply to Lou's concern about the quote by Jean Rousseau-2 » Lou Pilder, posted by Lou Pilder on September 26, 2004, at 10:09:50
Friends,
The second part of the quote in question is what I am asking clarification to and the parts in the link to click on that I have mentioned.
On the one hand, Rousseau states that [..tolerance should be given to all religions that tolerate others...].
But the part that I am asking for clarification to is the part that Rousseau states in the link to that writing,[...christianity preaches only servitude and dependence...true christins are made to be slaves...this short life count little in their lives...]. Is that being tolarent to Christianity? This is part of why I am asking for clarification. I consider those statements to be false accusations toward christians and demening to christians and inconsistant with being tolarant to all religions and has thepotential to put down those of the christian faith and thearfore could be deemed as not supportive to the goals of the faith board.
The purpose of the administrative board is so that things like this can be discussed so that a more supportive atmospher could be made. I am not a member of christiandom, but I feel put down by the statement in the link by Rousseau and if it said, [...budddism preaches that buddists should be slaves...] , I would feel put down also.
