Making the judgment that they are all equally valid is a judgement.
I am going to have to quote myself, as you seem to have a reading comprehension problem this morning.

Now, your griping about C-D is still misplaced. You are pushing for special status for your specific definition of Christianity. Why should your sect get special recognition and privilege above others? Have you looked at the cesspool that is the Christianity forum? People are always arguing about what is doctrinal, scriptural, Christian or heresy. Do you think that the collective membership in there could arrive at some sort of agreement?
I don’t.
So once again we come back to BF wishing he could deny the label if christian to people based upon BF’s personal preferences.
How does that make any sense? Who made you king of the forum?

He's a frustrated fundie. He knows his sub-sect is new to the religion scene and will very likely be among the first to depart. His angst is showing and he's railing against the system - impotently, like a bellowing mastodon sinking into a tar pit.

I haven't made that statement on this thread, nor really ever that it's up to my preference. That's called a strawman argument. It's easier to defeat an argument you make up and put in the other person's mouth, isn't it?

You are not being honest, BF. You DO think your beliefs about Christianity are the only legitimate ones and that IS your preference. Just because YOU believe they are the only ones that truly came from God does NOT make it so.

Just like you think YOUR views are the correct ones. But am I suggesting that it's YOUR preference? Weird how that works.
And for the record, no--I don't believe i get to determine doctrine. I've said that many times. So please stop suggesting otherwise.

Huh? What else could it be if NOT your preference or mine????

Well, you did say this:

So, while we can certainly get along, and should make every effort to be cordial and nice to each other, it's naive to think this forum practices that.
So while I was not quoting you, I believe that I was accurately describing your belief. You feel that the forum is biased because there is a rule that you disagree with, and that rule does not allow you to deny the label of Christian to others.
I don’t see you citing any third party for this gripe, therefore it must be yours. If it is in fact yours, then you must believe that it is legitimate.
You can play semantic games and try to claim that it isn’t up to you, and that somebody else, or some verse has determined it to be true, but you also have the ability to follow, or not follow, whateve4 authority you wish to drag out.
Ultimately, you have a belief that some are unjustly calling themselves Christians, you wish you could deny them that privilege or chastise them for it, and you think the forum is unjust for denying you that privilege.
That is what I said, that is what you said, and your statements above prove it.
