I read the statement concerning BibleStudyForum.com and I thought it was wonderful. I especially liked the goal of building a repository of scriptural information that visitors can always come to, and help to build. Not that my opinion matters; and that seemed to be the idea; not to have controversy but to have questions answered. To tell the truth, though, it was like reading a description of The Believers Bible Forum at hishows.org. The URL for that site is http://hishows.aimoo.com and you are invited to visit. You will not find foolish and unlearned questions there, and there are no controversies. Someone has said that people will flock to a forum where they are allowed to express their opinions, whatever they may be. Some who flock believe they learn by arguing. But the Lockman Foundation is hoping only for thoughts, questions or answers, that are based on scripture, and surely that is a good thing. |

Greetings Aixen7z4! You wrote concerning the web site that you referenced: "You will not find foolish and unlearned questions there, and there are no controversies." However, I looked at the thread about whether or not Judas was saved, and there was a controversy about that question! :-) Granted, it was a very polite controversy though! ;-) There has been much debate in the past about whether or not a moderator would help this forum. I have been, and continue to be, of the opinion that it would not really help. The only way to 'ensure' the content of the forum would be to make every thing fit only one view point. Unfortunately, this means that there is a lot of dross along with the gold. But, this is how it is in real life as well. I just pray that the gold will be evident to all who read it. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

I wonder if you ever considered having a plurality of moderators. | ||||||

Greetings! I'm not sure a plurality of moderators would really make a difference. Either they would be too much alike in their thinking and the forum would still simply be rubberstamping only one viewpoint, or they would be too far apart and anything would go anyway. The only real benefit that I see to a moderator would be to stop really nasty posts, but this forum already has the ability to remove or restrict posts when an abuse report is filed, so they already basically serve as a moderator.
