1 | What To Shut Your Mind Against | 2 Tim 2:23 | mark d seyler | 169885 | ||
Hi Tim, It occurs to me that some of the historical theological studies have advanced themselves over the course of decades, if not centuries! Why should we grumble over a couple of dozen posts in a row? I do wonder, though, what this forum would be like without any sarcasm, derision, condemnation, ulterior motives and agendas, criticism, and insults. What if every answer was Biblically based, and every subsequent comment was again, Biblically based? What if each of us had as our primary motivation the well-being of each other (including mental and emotional state)? What if the defining characteristic of every post were the sense of love you got from reading it? I wonder that perhaps we could discuss the deepest and most sensitive Biblical matters until reaching a conclusion, without degenerating into the destructive patterns we've seen time and again. And I would like to just put this thought out there, which is the best way to achieve this? By requiring it of others, or by modeling it yourself? Tim, I want you to know I appreciate your posts very much, and I think that you are a very good example that we can all benefit from emulating. And as soon as I have the time to do my preliminary work on Romans 7, I look forward to taking up that discussion with you! (-: Yet more ramblings from, Mark |

Greetings Mark! Thanks for the kind words! I too appreciate your posts and those of many others. Some on this forum have become (at least in my mind) old friends as I have had the opportunity to interact with them over a period of years now. I would list some of them, but I am afraid I would forget someone. :-) I think the answer to being able to discuss things is too not take them personally. The tuth that we are discussing is God's truth, not ours. If we 'know' something and someone else just doesn't seem to get it, simply let God take care of it. ;-) I look forward to doing some 'study' with you in the future my friend, on any topic. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
