Hi Rob,
I noticed this in your Message 34:

you really have to stop over-reacting and going into preaching mode.
I was not preaching. And I am tired of the accusation meant to disregard everything I have to say.
You say you weren't preaching, but in that case I have to ask, just what was it you were doing? This is from your Message 31 that Arachnophilia replied to:

Jesus: "I am the bread of life".
Let me ask you Arach... does the truth taste good to you?
Food is delicious, God is good.
...
The word (logos, reason, or logic) is to be revered. For they are the only transcendental signfied we have. Revelation is nothing more than being logical.
...
All your example does for me is confirm that what the Bible says is true, as well as confirm my argument...
1 Co 14:9
So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air.
Jas 3:5
Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.
Jas 3:6
The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
Jas 3:8
but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
...
10. There is not one way to God... all roads lead to God.
From a moderator perspective, I see no more relevance of these arguments to the topic than if we were having a discussion about some problem with your truck, and they certainly have all the appearance of preaching. Certainly if your minister spoke those words from the pulpit no parishioner would chastise him afterwards with, "Pastor, that twern't preachin'!"
I have a request. In this thread, please no long mention God, the Bible, Jesus or revelation, and please do not quote from the Bible. I recognize the possibility that legitimate and secular arguments for your position about the origins of the word "theory" might be drawn from these sources, but because of your abuse of the Forum Guidelines and because of a desire to keep the thread on-topic, I am ruling these resources off-limits to you in this thread.

Re: Moderator Request
Hi Rob,
This is rule one from the Forum Guidelines:
  1. Follow all moderator requests.
And this is our exchange:

Acts 5:28 "We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name," he said. "Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man's blood." 29 Peter and the other apostles replied: "We must obey God rather than men!"
It's interesting, though irrelevant, that you feel God is telling you to derail threads by introducing sermonettes into the middle of discussions. When you disagree with a mechanic about what's wrong with your truck, do you start quoting scripture? And you'd think even God would be cognizant of simple courtesy and not tell you to behave so rudely.
But anyway, can I assume we won't see any more of this in this thread?
All the usual advice about not replying here applies, by the way. Take any issues to the General Discussion Of Moderation Procedures 11.0 thread.

Topic Reminder
Alas, poor topic! I knew him, Horatio.
Since Rob will be away on vacation this coming week, those who have an interest in the topic may want to take advantage.
