1 | On the use of Study Bibles | 2 Tim 3:16 | Hank | 9266 | ||
Agreed, my esteemed friend and brother Nolan. There is every reason, the Bible being the complex book that it is, to avail oneself of whatever standard supplementary background and exegetical resources are at hand. My point, which may well be indicated for my own tendency to quote extra-biblical "authorities" rather generously, is not meant to suggest the proscription from all posts of any and all quotations of what sound biblical scholars have had to say on this issue or that..... An illustration of the intended point comes to mind: A glass of cool water on a hot summer's day will refresh and invigorate us; a gallon consumed at one time will over-saturate us. Measured moderation. That is the point to which the post was addressed and by which it begs to be considered. If one finger was pointed at anyone else, three were pointed at the author of that post! Press on, my faithful friend, in the path the Lord is leading. You have established yourself as a valuable member of the forum and render it a selfless and beneficial service. Your zeal is both apparent and contagious. --Hank | ||||||
2 | On the use of Study Bibles | 2 Tim 3:16 | Makarios | 9269 | ||
Thank you my Hank, esteemed friend and brother in Christ! You have made a very wise and excellent point here, one that should be taken into consideration by all who write on this Forum! :) If I have the 'zeal', then you have the 'vision', Tim Moran has the 'heart', prayon has the 'steadfastness', and both you and JVH0212 have the 'wisdom'! Thank you, my dear Brother in Christ! Nolan |

3 | On the use of Study Bibles | 2 Tim 3:16 | EdB | 9278 | ||
Now that I have just posted a response quoting from a book I read this and say Oh NO! What have I done? I haven't post to the forum in about 2 weeks and my first post is already wrong. :-0 I agree with what has been said here. In most cases you can just give a summary, I do not believe we have to reproduce the whole article to make a point. Many times just saying MacArthur in his book "whatever" said "thus and such", is more than enough. I do not need or want the whole article. If I feel a need to read the entire article, I can always ask for the whole article to be sent by e-mail. May I get off my sword now?:-) |

Dear EdB, Its good to have you back, my friend! No, your post was not 'wrong'.. The Inductive Study method in Kay Arthur's book is very good and I support it! However, I just didn't agree with the exclusion of all extra-Biblical material when that material was created and provided for this very purpose.. That was my only 'disagreement', but I agree with Hank and I agree with you on making positive steps toward 'curbing' the amount of sources that we use in relation to someone's post.. From now on, I will try to limit myself in using so many sources at one time.. I will not make another "Answer" four posts long! I apologized to prayon and I see where it would be unhealthy if we all did that. :) Yes, you may get off your 'sword', my friend! Welcome Back! Nolan |
