Doc, Your inference that I use intel other than G-d's word is troubling, to say the least. Consenus as to methodology is usually a challenge. I use the Bible to garner understanding. Secondary/residual writings rarely get my attention. We must remember G-d charges each of us to reach our own conclusions from His word ...which includes intent by use of common sense. |

G P: I am not sure if many in the forum have a CE, or a NLT. As a help for those who do not have those translationnns it might be helpful when using a translation other than the NASB (the kind people that provide us this web site) or perhaps the NIV or the ESV. The last three translations are in general use for some time. Here in the Bible Belt many read nothing but the King James only! For me personally when I first read the PURPOSE DIVVEN LIFE I was very concerned. The reason I was concerned was Rev. Rick Warren used ELEVEN different versions of the Bible in his book. I get very alarmed when someone uses many different versions in a book. This in my opinion, is looking for a Bible that reads the way you want some verse to say. Surely in eleven different Bibles a person could get a point accross they want Scripture to say. If you ever get a chance to watch Precepts for Life with Kay Arthur, she teaches with Scripture that gives some Biblical proof as to the point of two books. I doubt many Christianns have such a wide knowledge the Bible. My wife and I have been blessed for the last two years. I only wish seminary were as in depth as Kay's teaching. Blessings. justme |

Citations for application of... common sense... when it comes to G-d's word were requested. They were provided. All versions are available on line. Thus, assessible to those here. I am still waiting for the poster who said baptism is not necessary to provide citations from the Bible. Is that a concern of yours also? |

G P: I have read a good number of your post's and followed this thread for a good while from the start. We all come across to others on the forum in a unique way that shows our personality, as others think we are. I am not to sure what others think about me, I know my gramer is an issue especially when I am in pain and my medication is not doing much good. I hope that I am seen as loyal to Christ and respectful to those on this forum. I admit a few times I have been corrected, and I hope I have been thoughtful enough to amend my issues that I was informed of. I suppose I would say in a different sort of way I see the forum like family, the family of God. For some of us when we give a post we expose a part of us. That esposure can be good or maybe perhaps we are seem as stubborn, ignorant, or maybe others can't see exactally what we are trying to communicate. As you can read I am chasing rabbits, I am hoping that you might gleam from my note, that I am really tring to be respectful, kind, and speak in christian brotherly love. Perhaps you should re-read this thread, I think you would pick out what I am trying to say. A good number of forum members have asked you a number of times to use a scripture to back what you were saying. For just about anyone reading this thread, they might get the opinion you were unwilling to follow the forum rules. I have read Doc asking you a number of times to give a Scripture, and it appears you ignored him. Doc even gave you the Scripture Jeremiah 23:16, which was as I read it a picture of what was happening. I responded to you. yesterday and instead of really giving some thought to using different versions, you gave a answer ignoring what I said. I really doubt that many average people would go on line to find out what the two versions you suggested read like. I live in the Bible Belt. I can assure some KJV only christians would never consider looking in a nother translation. I think it is good to think about this. However the NASB has caused a good number of people to carefully look at the NASB, and some have reconsidered. Our host Lockman deserves to be given credit, not just for a wonderful translation of the Bible, But their generosity for providing this forum. The ruels of were, I believe, made by Lockman and when using this forum we must abide with their ruels or go some where else, if we don't agree to abide with them. To me, you seem defensive, and either you don't understand or just have your way of doing things. I am speaking for myself, and no one else. I hope you will understand that if I did not care I would have not taken the time to express my genuine concern. I wish only to be a brother in Christ Jesus, and want for you to grow and enjoy fellowship with other christians in the forum. Blessings brother G P. justme |

Justme, I suggest we discuss G-d's word and stay away from playing psychologist. Please avoid directing me/someone on how to answer a question. I don't chase rabbits...I allow my beagles to do that. They are better than me. Respectfully. |

G P: I see again you just don't understand when someone is trying to help you. I am not a Psychologist. But I understand when I see a person who needs special care and lots of patience. justme |

GP: There is a pattern in your post's, and the return post's that EVERYONE keeps asking you. Over and over you are asked to give a Scripture for your statement. But you don't answer, WHY? I am hoping that your staying with your point, means you are trying to hang in here, I hope that's it. Sometimes we all have a memory clitch and just can't come up with a Scripture. There is no shame in saying that You can't remember where in the Bible it says, such and such. Ask if anyone knows where a Scripture is found. That's being open and honest, and allowing others to improve their recall as well. You might try doing that. I wonder why you use "G-d's" word? I think for myself that God's Word shows grater respect. That's your choice of course. I again appeal to you again to respond with Scripture when asked, don't just refer back to a post made days ago, we just can't find what you refer us to. No one is against you, we are trying to reach out to you to help you abide by the forum ruels. I have no intention in distracting you from God's Word. What I am asking you to do is go into the Word of God to prove your point. I agree, that enough has been said, asking you to comply with Scripture for you post. I sincerely hope you see a number of us are really trying to assimilate you into the Study Bible Forum. As for me it will be a great blessing to welcome you. Please reconsider that extra effort is being made to help you. Blessings GP. justme |
