Actually there is no rule against non-Christians joining or posting on the site. So his existence on the site is fully permitted. But, like anyone, Christian or not, it's the context of the posts that matter, not the beliefs they hold or religion they believe in. If his posts violate the actual ToS then they can be reported. But my guess is, so far, this post has done nothing to break the ToS. We see similar kinds of posts by Christians of varying denominations and theology all the time on the site.

Actually, for the T.O.S. posted at the head of this forum . . .
There is nothing wrong with discussion that is vibrant or passionate. So please don't be turned off by that.
On the other hand, we will step in if we see any of these.....
1. Blatant personal attacks. (This means actually attacking someone. It doesn't mean when someone fails to believe something you believe.)
2. Blatant false teachings against the essentials of our faith. (We'll allow some users for a time to discuss issues that are against the faith, but if time passes and they keep it up, they will be dealt with.)
3.Perverse talk and swearing.

To quote your own words, the words that caused me to respond...
"The Question is a Jehovah's Witnesses and should not be allowed to post on a Christian message board."
I countered that by stating that simply because one is not a Christian does not mean they are not allowed on the site. Your accusation was since he was not a Christian he should not be allowed to post.
I also pointed out that this specific post is not against ToS. Which it's not. He's not teaching anything and these questions can, and have been, asked by Christians as well.
There have been users on this site for years that were not Christians.
So posting the rule doesn't change what i said. In fact it only reinforces it. "We'll allow some users for a time to discuss issues that are against the faith". The Question has been a member for only a week. If his posts become too aggressive he will be dealt with, but it seems at this point the staff have found him acceptable. Therefore he Is allowed to post here. Otherwise he wouldn't be. Simple.

Why would you want a cultist to come on here an confuse or indoctrinate the baby lambs of the Lord Jesus Christ. Would you be okay with them converting someone to their thinking and that person goes to hell?
And it wasn't because he was a non-Christian (which is definitely is) but because he is a cultist.

I would "think", one as skilled as you are, would "welcome" one, and, if not welcoming, at least give the poster some "space", with which to make his argument/s. Being able, as you are in deftly refuting his "claims", or teachings. Who knows, maybe you could help "steer" him away from the gates of hell. Plant a little "seed", yanno? jez sayin'

I personally think man made denominationalism has put the chasm between the word of God and the truth as revealed by The Word that is God.
Denominations named after men who invented that traditional dogma for instance is idolatry of a sort. I think it is what keeps the body of Christ at odd's. As it is said in the secular political realm, "a nation divided against itself cannot stand."
What then are the chances of a church, the body of the faithful in Christ as the Bible defines church, divided against itself?
How many times have you heard someone charge a Christian who speaks of a certain scripture with being a dread "Calvinist!" As if that's a wicked thing to be.
How many times have you heard someone find fault with someone of any particular denomination or church?
That's division. Divisiveness. It's a machination of the devil in my view. Man's ego's formulating a dogma, a doctrine, that puts God in a cubed belief set. And as consequence the faithful in allegiance with that belief set so as to "belong" to that particular "church". When God said He cannot be contained by buildings or structures created by man how do such men as John Wesley, John Knox, John Calvin, and of course the RCC itself, explain their responsibility in that division of a people who are to be one in Christ?

One who claims that JESUS is not God and or was created or had a beginning goes beyond the implication of your post....the bible teaches one central truth concerning everything that is found in the word of God and two cannot walk together unless they be agreed......just saying......

This subject has been posted also by yours truly.
I asked the question, "Were Jesus to come today, which denomination would He elect to be a member of?" What was His denomination. Judaism did not exist until His time and after,.
The faith Jesus taught is the faith of Abraham............Abraham may be traqnslated as "Hoored Father of the Peoples (Nations)," if that should help.
I belong to Jesus Christ, Yeshua.........not to any of the denominations untr the umbrell of Judaism or Christianity. I form a member of the Body of Jesus, where ever they may be. One day it will be clear to all.
