What does a banning look like and what is the reason for the banning? See rule #20 at the Christendom forum in BOLD red - to bar, restrict, block any user including Internet Community Alliance offenders for any reason as well as remove any content at our sole discretion.
What is the real reason am I banned (since I was there) from the second largest forum in Christendom? It is because I have exposed the false teaching of historicalism (amill., post-mill., preterisms), that is, the belief that now, despite wars and rumors of wars, we are in a millennial peace. If this were true then Rev. 20.3 would not say Satan, "he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled". Today, are the nations not deceived? If they are not deceived, then why do they war? Why were 7 million Jews killed in World War II? Is this a millennial peace? Historicalists treat the 3rd last chapter of the Bible in a book of prophecy of our future as having already happened. The reason they do this is to blunt the most solemn warning for the end of this age. Matthew 19.28 most adequately expresses the regeneration of the world in the millennium-to-come: "And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel." The inevitible consequence of the beliefs of historicalists is to falsely justify war as was done in the past under the Roman Catholic Church, making a mockery of Jesus Christ, since they claim we are in a millennial peace now yet there are continual waring.
Note Christianity.com and Crosswalk.com are Roman Catholic forums. It takes all kinds, as the saying goes. There other false teachings. Other forums that are not Roman Catholic are very Roman Catholic-like in being historicalist, or similar to the second largest denominational system, Pentecostalism with false tongues, or the false teaching of calvinism.
Who else bans for this same reason? The largest Christendom forum does not have a close competitor. They also ban if you expose calvinism, in addition to historicalism, which is the pride of believing they were premade for salvation like a robot or a machine and not preprogrammed for hell. The truth of this mistaken assumption is that God made man in His image to walk with those who come to the cross to receive His saving grace (John 3.16,18). Thus, God's way of salvation is according to osas arminian: God predestinates by foreknowledge (Rom. 8.29), not by premaking someone to be saved and premaking others for hell. Can you sense the evil in such a thought?
What I have said is true. You can prove it for yourself, but you must speak the truth directly as well as show the consequences of such false beliefs. Making that connections is vital! When you show why sin is wrong, you must also show how, and not merely self-declare it.
What does a banning letter look like, which gives not substantive reason, but is as vague as possible:

Notice the difference between Biblocality Christian Forums and these others. These other forums mentioned do not give you a specific reason to conceal the reason why they ban. When I ban someone it is because they are being belligerent and obstinate, and send them the exact reason why they are banned, and often post the reason on the forum as well. For example, see the thread 4 Step Proof for God where I banned atheists/agnostics/tares and gave the reasons why.
