1 | Is there a reason to debate? | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 219924 | ||
First of all, I'd like to wish everyone a merry Christmas! God bless you Justme! I heartily agree. Discussions like this one, again remind me of some wise words spoken by our dearly departed and sorely missed brother in Christ, Hank; who's most eloquent soliloquy I have recently posted on the forum, but for those in this discussion that haven't had the opportunity to read it, I hope no one minds too much if I take the liberty at this apropos time to post it again. John “I lay no claim whatever to any expertise on matters involving High Theology or anything of the kind, so I'm fairly well limited when it comes to trying to connect the dots. And that is good! It forces me to attempt to speak only where the Bible speaks and to keep my mouth shut where the Bible is silent. I have enough trouble learning and digesting what the Bible clearly reveals, and so it leaves me no time to speculate and ruminate on the things which our loving and all-wise Father chose not to elaborate. God's eternal and unchanging word will be around long after I'm gone. Few indeed are they who care about my opinions now and fewer still will remember them after I've gone. So my candid view about questions such as call for speculations is this: If God did not choose to reveal details, is it our business to worry very much about them? I really don't believe that God expects us to fill in the blanks ourselves nor needs man to take over where He left off, do you? Just how important is it to know about such things? The narrative has endured and imparted the message it was intended to impart for centuries as it is, without being gussied up with all these minute frills and details. Let's be content to learn from it all that it clearly reveals without tarnishing the sacred record by adding our worthless speculation and groundless guesses.” –Hank |

John, I don't see this discussion at all as a debate where one is trying to convince another. I see it as a few people who are sharing views that slightly differ, but it appears all have scriptural basis. We are simply sharing insights, maybe right, maybe wrong, but no one is getting upset, we are just trying to learn.... Isn't that what StudyBibleForum is for? To share and learn? Sorry our discussion offended you. Dhaniei Merry Christmas all. |

Well you're right about one thing. No one is getting upset. Where did justme or I say that either of us was offended? :-) | ||||||
