SirPent: I appreciate you taking the time to respond to questions. However, I have the opinion to just respond to anyone that a discussion has been previously been posted stiffles the Forum. So what? This is a Forum that is to encourage dialogue, not hinder such dialogue. If you have been a part of a previous discussion then for pitties sake pas on by it! There are others that might learn something as they may not have any understanding of the subject matter. For me, when someone gives the message you did to me, it says that's below me to dialogue about, so get up to speed and read whay others have said. That SirPent does not make the Forun to inviting! SirPent, I am not upset. I just find this same attitude by a few "old timers" who need to know that newer people have the same right to an answer that you once got. Would you not agree? I personally have written over 1,400 notes or questions, and never have I told some one this has been responded to previously; At least to the best of my recollection. At any rate, I have given you something to think about, I hope, Blessings. justme |

Justme I tend to disagree with what you say about referring someone to a previous discussion. It may stifle pointless repetition but it shouldn't stifle a discussion. I have often referred a person to do a search on the subject just because so much information has been communicated on that subject it would be nearly impossible to reproduce it. I would hope that when someone is referred to another thread that they would in fact do the search read all the information presented and if they then decide they have something to offer post that new information. The original idea behind the Study Bible Forum was to have a place where thoughts, ideas, and other information pertaining to a verse, passage or book of scripture would be deposited here forming a limitless study Bible. However I think that has been severely handicapped because the information is repeated, rehashed, reposted so often that it becomes nearly impossible to wade through it all. Many of “old timers” and others have discussed this offline and it was suggested that rather than just duplicating the information over and over we would start suggesting others use the search feature on their initial inquiries that have already been extensively discussed. There was even talk of a FAQ (frequently Asked Questions) section that would provide the overall information given here in the forum on say the top 100 questions. However as you can imagine that would be very labor intensive and will probably never be done. Our intent was to help mold the forum into a more useful tool. If you take this as a method to stifle people from participating I’m sorry and me as an “old time” assured you this was not the intent at all. I think you viewed SirPent intentions incorrectly EdB |

EdB:-) Thanks for your imput. I hope SirPent responds as well. I found is rather odd that I was responding to EDD and SirPent responded, and I responded to Sir Pent and you responded. This is somewhat confusing when you think about it. I do agree that some topics are brought up more than some would like, but then if we are to get some new, young, fresh Forum participants it may take some rehashing of some fimular topics. I consider myself "not new" to the Forum, but not an "old timer" either. I have had what I call "rapid fire" refer me to a number of responses, that if the person responding would have read my statement over a little more carefully, might not of refered me elsewhere. To be quite honest I do not spend near as much time on the Forum that I once did. Mainly due to the blunt harshness, that was being expressed to Hank and the lack of respect for Lockmans rules. There was blunt outright defiance. That became such a continous topic of conversation for such a period of time, I lost desire to dialogue. I am aware of one other who won't return because a few dominating persons ignored, and did not permit others to ask some questions. Instead they wer given the "rapid referal". I just think it should be rare to refer someone, not SOP. I hope you can see my point. I am not upset, I just am expressing how I see things from a different perspective. Blessings EdB. justme |

Justme I'm sorry you or anyone else thought they were being dismissed, unless they are one of those who did Cain marry people. :-) As for my interruption here I thought I had something to offer on the subject and since this is a public forum people that have something to add to the thread have always been invited to contribute. As I said our intention for referring people to do searches was in an effort to try to prevent the forum from becoming so cumbersome and filled with repeated information that no one could find any worthwhile information. As you may have noticed there is no forum moderator nor is there any attempt to summarize or capsulate all of this information. As the forum gets more and more threads, response and information the harder it becomes to filter out the truth from the junk. In most cases where someone is asked to do a search they are asking a controversial type question in which the subject has been hashed and rehashed many many times. There are people that lurk on this forum for one thing, an opportunity to jump upon their soapbox should “their” subject come up. “Their” subject may be a denominational distinctive, a cult teaching or favorite teaching, but when it comes up they will disseminate as much information supporting this teaching as possible. While that may be good if it is sound theology it is really bad if it is cultist or not totally factual. It the information is incorrect then it become a burden for someone to keep responding showing the error. However if it isn’t exposed as error and left to stand some new person could in fact read that thread see it is posted unchallenged on a Lockman’s Christian forum and assume it is truth. Thus another person has been misled or deceived. If you or anyone else can think of way to minimize this please speak up. Lockman has already clearly stated there will not be a moderator nor a person assigned to summarize or condense the forum. I think you may be judging Hank, others and probably me too harshly. Some times we have spent days combating cultic trash on this forum and the minute we finally get it stopped some one in total innocence will ask a question that answering would reopen the floodgates once more. In exasperation we say go do a search. EdB |

EdB: I understand your point and it is well understood. I think you might have misunderstood my feelings about Hank. I am sure he would agree that I doubt I have ever judged him in amy way whatsoever. Hank is, in my opinion, a true Christian who is a one of the kindest, respectable, and able to express his thoughts in English better than I have ever seen before. I am not saying others on the Forum are not very mature Christians. I am saying Hank is one of the very mature Christians that has very special gifts and is using them with clear understanding from the Holy Spirit. I too have been quick to squelsh the fires of cultism several times on the forum. With the number of those who are alert to this I would hope there is nothing that gets by. Thanks for your time you took to respons, and blessings. justme |

justme You got my post out of order. I realized in this post it sounded like I said it was "you" that was criticizing Hank, that is why I posted the second post to clairify I wasn't talking about "you" but I was in fact agreeing with you that others unjustly judge Hank. EdB |

EdB: That makes me understand it better. I am glad we agree, as seldom do we not have the same or close to same understanding of Scripture. If people have a hard time comunicating today, it makes me see how much that God watched over His Word as the Holy Spirit brought Scripture together in a perfect fit. Wow, what a thought about how the Scripture is so out of this world. Blessings again EdB. justme |
