This just came to my mind as I was thinking through some of my friends good and powerful statement. So I thought of helping to share how one can quote comments from one thread to another, NOT within same thread which many of us know how to do but many of us don't know how to quote someone's comment or our own past comments from "another" thread to a current thread we want to contribute to. I hope to show us a step-by-step how to quote from another thread.

Am going to us one or more of my own comments from another thread or some of my friend's comments from another thread to show how you can quote from another thread.

First, I will go to the thread I wish to quote from.

Second, I will highlight and copy the comment I wish to quote

Third, I will return to the current thread I wish to place the quote I copied.

Four. I will "quote" anyone in the current thread I wish to place the quote

Five I will edit the name of who I quoted in the current thread to the name of whom it was quoted from

Six, I will hit the submit button

Am going to show the practical steps below in many examples. watch this below:

Goshen360: My brother,

It's NOT the doctrine of Trinity that has problem. Trust me when I tell you something. I am NOT claiming to "know" ALL but one thing I do. Before I swallow any teaching, I check very well. Trinity is a bible doctrine (from Genesis to revelation) BUT the way "many or some" people explain it makes it complicated and difficult to understand. If Jesus emptied himself of divinity and left the memory in heaven, how come he told the Jews who don't believed him but hold on to the believe of their father Abraham that, "before Abraham was, I am". In this text, he remembered his divinity. We can pull out many scriptures to refute that teachings.

However, Trinity is NOT a man-made doctrine, It is BIBLE doctrine. The way we explain it differs though. Also, many of us simple don't know the principles of BIBLE INTERPRETATION. When you interpret the bible, you don't "spiritualize" the TEXT. You can spiritualize the TEXT when you apply the TEXT to your life. It is because people spiritualize the TEXT is the reason for many confusion and distortions of ONE bible. Imagine we have ONE bible and people say MANY things on/from one bible. We can prove Trinity since the bible says prove "ALL" things and hold fast to that which is good but our explanation must be made simple. I believe in "Trinity". Jesus is God. The Father is God. Holy Spirit is God. They are ONE as Unity, NOT as Entity and distinct from the other, not the SAME (ONE) splited into THREE. Jesus as God is NOT the same as the Father and the Father is NOT Jesus and the Holy Spirit is NOT Jesus neither the Father.

This quote of mine was from this thread: http://www.nairaland.com/960192/kenotic-doctrine-vs-trinity-doctrine

This is one of my comments from another thread. I will modify this comment later to give you the link from where I got quoted this comment from, okay.

Am going to quote another person's comment from another thread and do the same.

I have gone to search for the comment I want to quote. I have copied the comments and written the user i.d of who made the comment. Now am back to this thread. All I have to do is hit the "Quote Post" of any body here in this thread and I will have this:

quote author=Goshen360]Am going to quote another person's comment from another thread and do the same.[/quote

I have quoted myself in this case and that is why you "quote author=Goshen360".

If I had quoted another person, it will show that person's user id instead of mine. Okay. Then, I will "edit" only that user i.d and replace with whoever I had gone to quote, in this case, "garyarnold"

quote author=garyarnold]Am going to quote another person's comment from another thread and do the same.[/quote

You don't have to remove the opening and ending "[ ]". I have done that just to show how to do it and so that the quote will not take effect for the sake of show you how, okay.

Next, is to place the quote you have gone to copy from somewhere in-between "] ... [" as shown below:

garyarnold: ONE OF THE WORST CRIMES OF ALL TIME:
1 - It is done by pastors who are trusted to be honest and right, and done in the name of Jesus.
2 - It is legal only because the government (in the US) can't interfere with religious beliefs, and the pastor only need claim he is teaching his beliefs.
3 - It has spread world-wide and this crime has more victims than any other that I know of.
4 - Those who have been scammed almost always take sides with the scammer.
5 - It's a crime where the victim thinks he/she is the beneficiary, not the victim.
6 - The crime is so carefully crafted and executed that the victim falls for the same scam every week, week after week, month after month, year after year, and never even questions the scammer.
7 - The crime is so carefully crafted and executed that most church goers will yell AMEN!
8 - The crime is so carefully crafted and executed that most church goers believe their pastor is the best pastor around. Their pastor really knows the truth. They trust and believe everything he says.
9 - The crime is so carefully crafted and executed that the victims convince others to join in and be a victim like they are, all the time thinking they are the beneficiary.
10 - The crime is so carefully crafted and executed that the victim thinks they are robbing God if they don't comply with the scam.
11 - The crime is so carefully crafted and executed it is very difficult to convince the victim that they have been a victim.

The crime? Pastors teaching that God requires Christians to tithe to the church. With tithing, the victim is so ignorant of the truth, they have no clue they've been a victim. And if and when the tithing scam victims realize they are victims, there is really nothing they can do about it. The scammer keeps the money.

This is better. I have quote "garyarnold" from another thread and also added my comments

I can later modify any of the thread or comments to add the links where those comments are quoted from Or I can still quote any of the threads here and just add the link of the other thread where I quoted from. In this case, I will "modify" in order to add the links of where those comments were quoted from.
