inmyheart: I too scanned all 39 postings entered by "Sister" and I am not nearly so impressed as you indicate that you are by her postings. Out of all 39 postings that are recorded alongside her user name, none but 4 contain any direct Scriptural references. There were ample sprinklings of "I feel", "I personally think (or believe)" and that sort of thing, but extremely little scriptural evidence offered to substantiate her opinions, musings, and conjectures. May we all be reminded of the stated purpose of this web site, i.e., a BIBLE Study Forum. That does not mean it is to be used as a free-for-all guessing game or opinion poll. --Hank | ||||||

I could just blurt out verses and chapter or make sure to have verse and chapter listed after everything I write but then a person would not search the Scriptures themselves...What happens if you keep telling a child how to spell a word every time he asks as opposed to handing him a dictionary...doesn't a child with the "book" fair better than one who relies on you to tell him every spelling and doesn't the book show him other words as he searches for the word in question?....I am not saying these people are children, I am saying that they may fair better searching for Scriptural proof...especially if they doubt me or anyone else because, in my experience, when I search the Scripture for something I end up finding 10 other things on the way to my answer that I need to search out! Also, I make sure to say "in my belief" and "in my opinion" or "in my understanding" because that's what I'm telling them ESPECIALLY when I am not quoting actual chapter and verse...Do you not have an opinion or have you not created an understanding by reading the Bible....When you talk to people do you always footnote everything with a Bible passage so they know you're okay? This is a forum...I didn't think you needed to give Scriptual reference to everything you said...If you notice some people ask for opinions and those who wanted Scripture I told them if I knew it to be in the Bible or not but could not give the actual chapter or verse at the moment....It doesn't mean I was lying or wrong or am incapable...I was being honest...by the way, I didn't answer all those questions to impress anyone...so, please, don't be so judgemental of me...it does say in he Bible that God is the only Judge...do I know exactly where in the Bible it says that?...No, not right at the moment! But I would bet my soul that it's in there, that's how sure I am....Maybe you should search the Scriptures on Judgement...Check for yourself...make sure I'm your Sister! With All Due Respect, "Sister" (Thanks I like that handle!) |

Greetings "sister"! I have read your posting and with all due respect, may I sugest that your self confidence may be a snare . . . You write, "But I would bet my soul that it's in there, that's how sure I am...." First of all, don't you know that you are not your own, you were bought with a price. (1 Cor 6:19-20)Now dear lady, HOW can you "bet" something you do not own? Secondly, Jesus said, apart from ME you can do nothing.(John 15:5) I realize that you feel challenged by members of this Forum, but as we have all learned, we must be careful with our words. mommapbs |

Do you think maybe that I am being challenged by the members of this forum?...I am a newcomer who has already been given an Advisory because I didn't include scriptual chapters and verses...when no where does it state that it is a rule in this forum...also, it has been implied that I am somehow questionable because of it!!!? Most of the responses I gave to people's questions, I used "I think" or "I believe"...theses were my opinions based off my knowledge and understanding of the Word...I read the Bible everyday...and I think it is insane that you all feel that a person cannot give an answer based off of biblical knowledge...even if they are letting the person know that this is just their own opinion. Many questions ask for an opinion and in many responses I told them to search it out in Scripture....but you all are, obviously, driven to judge...especially Hank...and I see he runs the show!....Oh and when I said I'd bet my soul...I said it as a way to show that I was emphatic...or to show how much I believed that what I said could be backed up scriptually...and the only reason I was brought to that was due to Hank's judgement...I was being defensive because I was offended...I know that I do not own my own soul...Gee, can you tell me where one can bet their own soul in the literal sense?...Come on...be real! | ||||||
