1 | What does this verse mean? | Heb 10:26 | kalos | 63355 | ||
My sincere thanks to you for replying to my previous posting. Welcome aboard! No criticism intended here, merely an observation. I have read four notes that you have posted. If I remember correctly, I noticed that in all four notes: . you use the abbreviation for "in my opinion"; and . you cite no supporting Scripture references whatever. Grace to you, kalos |

2 | What does this verse mean? | Heb 10:26 | BadDog | 63359 | ||
Kalos, I use IMO in order to not come across as rigid or dogmatic, and with a degree of humility. I did cite scripture references, though perhaps not in every note posted: Hebrews 6, 10:4 and 18 and 1 Corin. 3. Since Hebrews was written to the Jewish believer, I consider that internal CRefs are most significant, as well as the Greek behind the text. My understanding is that this forum isn't one in which original language background was assumed, so I refrained from such arguments. IMHO, the text is quite plain if taken in context and if we can avoid personal biases affecting how we read passages, which is certainly, IMO, often not so easy to do. Also, I did not notice many cross references in any other posts - just quotes from commentaries and study Bibles. Incidentally, I found an interesting brief commentary from Ryrie's NASB stdy Bible. I agree with most of what he says, but I didn't agree completely with this one and it didn't really answer the original question, so I didn't reference it. But I certainly can provide more of such CRefs in future posts, if that is an expectation for this forum. Lastly, one of my posts was a question, so CRefs would make no sense there, of course. Now, if you would like to give some CRefs for any differences in opinion you have, that would certainly be appropriate, IMO But in responding to a question such as "what does this verse mean" I did not expect that this was expected. If I'm wrong, or missed some post requirements on this, I apologize. Could someone enlighten me about such. Probably this was not intended as such, but is it due to the opinion expressed that this critical response was made? Because I thought that this would be a friendly encouraging forum to post opinions, ask questions and to consider others' opinions. But it took just minutes to be "blasted." You don't intend it as such, clearly from above, but that's what it was in effect. Before you use the words "no ... whatever" even as an observation it would be best to go back and review the person's posts. Would I provided was an opinion different than any others I noticed, so I was hoping it might be stimulating to some, bringing about KALOS responses and inquiring questions and opinions. I don't want to foster arguments or critical responses. If that's common on this forum, count me out, please! In Christ, BadDog |
