Dear dispen4ever, Over the years we notice that some forum participants prefer to use the words of others rather than invest the time, energy, and effort in composing their own. There's nothing inherently wrong with that. For example, bringing a particularly well written quote from someone with greater authority, ability, or knowledge than our own can often be an exercise of value to us all. Of course, when we fail to attribute to the rightful owner the words we use, it becomes a different matter. This is what is called plagiarism -- which is just a fancy word for stealing. Its a bit worse than that, however, because it is also an effort to elicit admiration for prowess of intellect, creativity, and academic industry that rightly belongs to someone else. Consequently, this sort of behavior is rooted in violations of at least two and perhaps three of the Ten Commandments; i.e., it is sin -- and that, in all dispensations! Nothing rooted in sin will bring benefit, either to ourselves or to those around us. Indeed, underhanded behavior can often detract from the position we are teaching. It brings doubt to our character, as well as the character of the organizations to which we belong. It demonstrates an allegiance to the spirit of the age, not the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, failure to properly annotate is an explicit violation of the agreement we have signed when we created our account on the forum. Furthermore, every time we post we click a button that says "I Agree." Our gracious host has specific legal requirements by which they can operate. The terms by which we quote are part and parcel of those requirements. Please, in the future, honor our Lord, the Lockman Foundation, and your fellow forum members by employing the highest possible standards of intellectual honesty. Better not to post at all, if it is done on any other basis. In Him, Doc |

It is equally offensive to lay a charge without supporting evidence. I would remind you that at the time of Christ and for centuries thereafter references and direct quotations were the highest form of flattery, well-received by those who read them. There was ZERO intent on my part to plagarize anyone and I resent that inference. I have been a Pastor-Teacher for many years and I quote or refernce others continuously. Please send me a line-by-line detailed list of information that you found plagaristic or offensive. johann.walter1@gmail.com Thanks! :-) |

Hi, dispen4ever... Public offenses require public censure (1 Timothy 5:20). "His Jewish background was quite extensive and would have called for strict training in matters of the Hebrew religion, see Acts 22:3. He was a Pharisee and the son of a Pharisee, Acts 23:6. He described himself as being of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews, in Philippians 3:5. He was a pupil of Gamaliel..." (from post #208871) http://www.parkerbiblebaptist.org/people_of_the_bible_Apostles-11-ThePERCENT20ApostlePERCENT20Paul.htm Replace the word PERCENT with the percent sign. A Christian teacher's most persuasive pedagogical device is his own life. In Him, Doc |

Where in that quotation is it indicated that I posted it to promote some intellectual proweress? That is an assumption on your part, not a fact. The quoted information, revised to clarify my point, was taken from http://tinyurl.com/46g2vm. I just completed downloading an updated version of a Greek-Hebrew linear translation. Shall I quote it as a source each time I answer a question such as "did Jesus mean today you'll be with me in paradise, or did he mean someday?" Must I also quote the source of THAT quote? |
