Dr.Bob
You wrote that it would be OK to write,[I believe I should have one God and no others before Him]. Now in your guidlines, it is listed to be not OK if one writes,[My faith says I should have one God and no others before Him]. You also have stated that, [I believe] could be equated with [I feel]. Are you saying that [I believe] is not similar to [my faith says] when the poster of the post writes that she arrives at her belief based upon what her bible, which is the word of God in her faith, says in the two verses that she quoted, which is her faith? Are you saying, in as much as you say that [I feel] could be similar to [I believe], that [I believe] can not be equated with, [ my faith says]? If so, could you give your explanation for such ? If you could, then I could have a better underatanding of why you will restrain my proposed post and allow the other post to not be restrained and be better able to respond to your reply accordingly.
But If you do agree that [I believe] is similar to [my faith says], then could I post my proposed post in question as follows to be considered OK here?
[The Rider said to me,"xxxxxxxxxxxxx"] and then post the following after that to be : [Friends, when the Rider said that to me, at that point, I said to myself, "I believe I should have one God and no others before Him.]
Best wishes,
