AG,
You wrote,[...as a christian, I believe that salvation can only be obtained through Jesus Christ...] and, [...it (the faith board) is anti-Christian...].
If the basis for that statement by you is that if the statment that [...Jesus is the {only} way to salvation...] is determined by DR. Hsiung to be unacceptable here, then I disagree with the statement that the faith board is antichristian.
I do not think IMO that whether the poster that posts the post is a christian or not is relevant to making a determination for acceptability or not on that basis.
Suppose some one wrote here, [..as a christian, I believe that the jews are not saved because they reject Jesus....]. Now I do not think that that statement could be determined as acceptable here. But the issue in this discussion is if the faith board is antichristian because the other statement is determined to be unacceptable by Dr. Hsiung because the statement could mean that since the poster writes that[..salvation can {only} be obtained through Jesus Christ...], the {only} is limiting salvation to {through Jesus Christ}.
I agree with Dr. Hsiung that the statement is not in accordance with his guidlines for the faith board because the potential IMO is there for jews and others that do not think that their salvation is through Jesus Christ could feel put down because the could feel that the poster's statement says that they are worshipping their God in vain because if salvation is only through Jesus Christ, then they could not have salvation since they do not believe that.
By Dr. Hsiung restraing the post in question, he welcomes all faiths and IMO is not antichristian. What if he did not restrain the post?
