> I believe that Scott focused on a post in which you suggested that unless one repented, one would perish. You explained that unless one returned to the God that you served, which is the Jewish God, they would perish, because the wrath of God is so great that only those who return to him will not perish.

The question here is of as if statements posted here are allowed or not {according to Mr. Hsiung's TOS}. There are some in question that I want sanctioned that are allowed to be seen as civil and supportive where they are originally posted. There are posts by me that Scott and maybe others think fall into the same category that are allowed to stand.
The question here is; {what say the rules?}.
Mr. Hsiung has addressed this many years ago. It comes in different parts as the statement being examined as to see if it passes the muster for being allowed to stand.
The first part is to examine the statement and see if it is not in accordance with the TOS/FAQ in relation to the stated part concerning what Mr. Hsiung means by being civil. If it is not, then we go to the exceptions.
One exception is to be allowed to post {what different faiths teach}. That is a very broad area open for members to post about. It is also so broad, that there needs to be some restrictions. And what is meant by what different faiths teach could be what the doctrines of those faiths purport as put forth by their scriptures and even the interpretation of those by the denomination leaders. We will see those restrictions and examples next.
