I don’t see much opportunity to do that and thought these posts would stir some interest in His Word as opposed to religions.

Most freepers come to the Religion forum to discuss issues related to Christianity, I would go so far as to say that 99% or more of the discussions on this forum are related to Christianity. So the term Religion on FR means mostly Christianity but not to be inclusive of other religions. I know most Christian freepers would like to discuss issues with you on Christianity when they have the time. Some have more time then others. I am one of them that don't have a lot of time so I'm not on this forum all the time, but mostly lurk. I would like to discuss issues related to Christianity with you on FR. But on forums like FR you got to establish rules to abide by. If you don't establish the rules then the forums becomes a free for all. I do believe the Star Traveler has been on this forum long enough to remember the debates that use to go on in the Religion forum everyday, and they were long debates, 1,000's of individual comments. And everyday they would just rehash the same old debates over and over to the point of nausea that was hogging a lot of bandwidth. So the owners of this forum set some more rules to limit the endless debates, etc. because FR is for discussion and not for endless debates, even though that will happen occasionally, but at least it doesn't get out of hand like it use to.

I hope you don't call the term "Eschatology" Religion. It is a theological term that I think comes from Latin to refer to end times theology of Christianity.

And I hope you don't call "Theology" Religion. But any view point that you hold can be label as your theology of Christianity.

I know you might think I'm nitpicking about stuff, but people that try to simplify their Christianity general do more harm then they do good. Their theology gets reduced down to bumper sticker theology of "Jesus saves", I like to get deeper then that.
