1 | The Forum -- Your Opinion? | Romans | yokefellow | 30681 | ||
Greetings, Charis, I can offer only a hearty "AMEN" to everything you stated in your analysis of the forum with one exception. I cannot agree with your statement, "I do not think that much true damage can be done here." The reason for my disagreement is that we are promoting God's divine Word on this forum. If we were promoting anything else besides God's Word on this forum, I would agree 100 percent that our answers would probably make very little difference or impact in peoples' lives and most would not pay much attention to the answers we give anyway. In the teaching and pomoting of God's Word, however, we must realize that people all over the world are looking at our answers. Their eternal destiny depends on our correct analysis of the holy scriptures (2 Tim. 2:15). This can only be accomplished by interpretating scripture with scripture. If our interpretation is incorrect and it leads a non-Christian (or Christian) down the wrong spiritual road (Prov. 14:12; 16:25), God will not only hold those individuals that are reading our postings accountable on judgment day but will hold us as teachers of the Word accountable as well. James 3:1 states, "Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we shall incur a stricter (greater condemnation - KJV) judgment." (NASB). Blessings to you in Christ, Mike |

Dear Mike, Greetings in the name of Jesus! Friend, I do know what you are saying, but if you agree with my point that leopards don't easily change their spots, then you will know why I am not too worried about our accountability as teachers. Frankly, I don't think that many forum readers are going to *receive* bad teaching here. They will just ignore it! In fact, most ignore good teaching, too! :-( I do agree that those who teach have a greater responsibility, but I remain convinced that few will be much influenced by the ongoings at an internet forum. Surely there may be SOME influence, but little in comparison to the influence we receive in our 'real' lives. In addition, being an optimist, I will trust that the great majority of influence exerted here is good influence. Any bad influence will fall mostly in the category of disgust, not false teachings. :-) And many blessings to you in Christ Jesus, charis |
