> There are a collection of bible verse that have the potential to arrouse antisemitic feelings for centuries by what is known as {replacement theology}. I ask that you not quote them even if you belive them.
> Let us use this thread then to discuss the service and worship of God and I ask to do so without using the verses that belong to the doctrine of replacement theology, for it is my belief that God has not replaced the Jews and that the grace of God is available to all.
_____________________________________________
I wouldn't know a replacement theology verse if it hit me in the head.Further, if one did hit me in the head, I suspect I'd find that the meaning of the verse isn't singularly related to replacement theology.
I suggest that it is not appropriate to prohibit the use of certain biblical language simply because some people relate its use to instances where others have used it for wrongful purposes. If the so-called replacement theology verses are quoted here in a manner intended to demean the Jewish faith, then the deputies can and should take action.
I truly believe most adults who post here are entirely capable of using the full range of language without intentionally hurting anyone else. And if unintentional slights occur, there are civil responses to those instances, too, and they do not require maintenance of a "banned verse" list.
