Learn About Christianity

   John Brown and I have been reprimanded for attempting to clarify Christian beliefs.  It appears that IslamiCity is not the type of website that allows a free exchange of ideas in terms of theological precepts.  We were told that we can stay here to "learn about Islam," however it is apparent that Muslims are not allowed to "learn about Christianity" on this website, other than to have it misrepresented by non-Christian sectarians.
Now, I am sure that this posting will be deleted shortly. If anybody is interested in a non-censored, free exchange of ideas in the American tradition, please go to Beliefnet, where Christians and Muslims interact freely.  Athanasius

	Athanasius: No-one says that you cannot correct a wrong assumption, but you are not allowed to harass the other posters, nor are you allowed to proselytise. Other Christians on the site asked Angela what her beliefs were, then immediately began attacking those beliefs. That is not a free exchange of ideas, that is waging a campaign against someone to harass and discredit them. This will not be tolerated here. Moderator Group

	Excuse me, but if some heterodox Muslim came here and said that Sunni Muslims teach that all unbaptized babies burn in hell - what would you do? The problem is that Angela can believe anything she wants, she could worship the man in the moon for all I care, but don't call those beliefs "Christian" under any circumstances. I never harrassed or discredited this individual, and to say so is a misrepresentation of the events.

	Bro Athanaisus, if secretarinization/denomination is your concern, one can reasonably ask you the same question as to which do you belong? Isn't it? On the other hand, I think sis Angela has very categorically declared that she is only representing her mormon beliefs and not from the other Christians' views. And I think this is a fair deal.

	I am an Anglican - this is an orthodox Christian denomination which holds to the essential creedal statements of the church; has the apostolic succession and is aligned with the Ab. of Canterbury. I am in the conservative branch of the Church. If you'd like to know more about Anglicanism, I'll be glad to answer your questions.

	O my dear bro Athanasius, the only purpose of asking this question was to make you realize that once we talk about denominations etc. we are only dividing ourself. So as you said you are so and so, there could be many other Christians on this forum who may not like to subscribe to your ideas of Christian faith. So, logically speaking, they can argue upon your beliefs in the same very way as you are doing to others. Even more, that though sis Angela has been very careful about truthfully declaring her faith identity, but from you, I am only listening it here for the first time. Come on, give others some space to breathe as well. No harm intended. Peace. Edited by AhmadJoyia
