When you are logged in, click on "User-CP", then click on "Edit Ingore List" and add the member's display name. Now, whenever that member posts, that person's message is hidden from your view only (you can still see a placeholder with their name, sort of a message header). There will be a button to click that allows you to read the hidden message if, god forbid, curiosity gets the better of you (I just did that with aa).....
I have already INDICATED the "IGNORE" is a TOTAL WASTE of time on an "OPEN DISCUSSION" board.

I do NOT "IGNORE" anyone and will DEBUNK any FLAWED and ERRONEOUS posts.

It is MY duty to stop the baseless assertions of those who do NOT want to deal with the ACTUAL WRITTEN evidence from antiquity but what they IMAGINE.

Some think what ever they IMAGINE MUST BE TRUE or that they have the BEST IMAGINATION.

I want to ERADICATE these IMAGINATION based "historicists".

There is simple NO evidence from antiquity that "Paul" preached to the slaves of wealthy Jews.

We have the "Pauline stories" and they are CAST in Stone. They cannot be ALTERED.

In Acts of the Apostles, "Paul" would preach in the SYNAGOGUES of the Jews
and the Gentiles would meet him there sometimes.

Acts 9
Quote:
Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus. 20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God....
The story is either true or fiction but that is the story. There is NO need to make up any other story.

"Paul" preached in the Synagogues of the Jews in the NT.

You do realize that this is the sort of thing that prompts that question, right?

My extremely scientific estimate says that 246% more people would take you at least 59% more seriously if you eschewed 93% of your yelling.

I have changed my mind about the ignore function of the forum. It does just what I need, and I recommend it.

I don't take posters advice about how I should post and I don't waste time telling other people how to write.

Now, Where did you get those "scientific" figures? From your imagination?
