Is this suppose to infer that the StudyBibleForum is a place that only the Bible subjects that everyone can agree on should be discussed? Let's hope a Muslim doesn't get on here then... we'd either have to agree or ignore him/her. :):) | ||||||

Hello, There. You may infer from the question anything you wish, of course, but my implication simply is that this is a forum intended for Bible study (not debate and discussion of political issues, pacifism, zoology, or Shakespeare's plays)..... I believe the Lockman Foundation defines the purpose satisfactorily in their Terms of Use. To your question of concern about whether only Bible subjects that everyone can agree on should be discussed, I've been active on this forum from its early days and have not seen unanimity of views on all topics by any means. We have have divergencies aplenty, some of them coming from faiths other than Christianity. These have not usually been ignored or agreed with, but more frequently have been vigorously challenged. We have disagreed, sometimes agreeably and sometimes not agreeably at all...... Some of the postings have caused me to see red and made me want to chew nails, finger or carpenter. Some have caused me to re-examine my own cherished and long-held views. Some have touched my heart and even made me cry. It is not a perfect forum. We err grievously at times. But it is a slice of life as it is. And it is, I surely do believe, a continuing testimony to the reality that we are all of us, each in his own way, on a sacred journey in quest of truth, of meaning for our lives, of something solid and unchanging in our fractured world -- in short, for God. --Hank | ||||||

Hi Hank, I understand that... I guess I haven't seen the notes posted on politics, pacifism, zoology, or Shakespeare's plays. :) But it seems from your last response, there have been other "wars" on here before if you "saw red" and were "ready to chew nails, etc"? It was the way you said it that had me wondering if there were certain things that were "taboo" and not to be discussed on here even if/when they pertain to Biblical teachings. If my comment offended you, I'm sorry... it sounds like it did. Please forgive me. |

Hi, There! Please do believe me, I found nothing at all offensive in your comment or question and took them in the spirit in which you obviously gave them. This is not merely an excuse not to forgive you but a plain admission that I see nothing in your post that needs being forgiven for. But I cherish your fine attitude, I really do. God bless. --Hank | ||||||
