THE PHILOSOPHY GOVERNING THIS FORUM

Eugene Shubert

Here is a brief description of the basic principles that govern this forum.

We strongly oppose censorship.
“Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” 2 Corinthians 3:17.

We strongly believe that clear and articulate differences of opinion have merit.
“As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” Proverbs 27:17.

We’re not like other bulletin boards. Virtually all theologically oriented forums promote a “herd” mentality and the ever so lovely “that we all may be one” agenda. They don’t say there’s a difference between the holy and profane. This forum will allow good and evil and will attempt to reveal the difference.
“Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane.” Ezekiel 22:26 KJV.

Consequently:

Everyone has the right to openly challenge any administrative decision at this forum. We want to be fair and reasonable with everyone. We believe in being open because we love the truth and aren’t afraid of revealing our principles (John 3:19-21).

The Midheaven forums are a sacred place that is used exclusively for teaching and investigating the special truths of this ministry. All posters who see the value of a certain idea are encouraged to contribute with helpful elaboration or sincere questions if they are interested. Contention is not allowed in Midheaven.

The High Mountain forums are for sincere investigation, interview and respectful dialogue. Those who at least respect this ministry have the right to promote their issues there and to be spoken to with all the respect usually given to ambassadors, presidents and papal dignitaries. This ministry has the right to decide for itself which ideas and dignitaries are deserving of that high honor. It also has the right to decide what contributes to a thread and what does not.

Everyone understands that when Barbara Walters interviews the President, the point of the show isn’t Barbara Walters’ opinion of politics or world affairs.

To Seventh-day Adventists who wish to reply to a High Mountain thread but are too crass to understand my meaning, I offer these special instructions. When you’re there, just pretend that you’re a representative from the Seventh-day Adventist church and that you want to give a gold medallion to the pope.

Persons wanting the follow the official, approved SDA manner of genuflecting but need counseling on how to bow before popes and prelates to render “proper” obeisance should contact Dr. Bert B. Beach of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists for detailed instructions.
