1 | did adam and Eve ever get forgiveness? | Matthew | Hank | 42034 | ||
"Idle speculation and arguments from silence don't contribute well to biblical understanding."...... Well put, Joe! ......... The Bible is a long, complex account of God's revelations to man. Now pregnant with detail, now terse and sketchy, it does not presume to answer in minute detail every question that one could possibly pose. Any biblical question the answer to which is not revealed in Scripture and hence calls for human speculation is an improper question; it therefore ought not to be considered on a forum that is supposed to be a forum for Bible STUDY, not SPECULATION. When one encounters on this forum the phrase, 'in my opinion,' he can usually expect that what follows is going to be idle speculation. When anyone in any walk of life offers me an opinion, I want to know, first and foremost, what his credentials are -- what makes him qualified to render an opinion -- before I am willing to give him an ear. I am not inclined to pay much attention to my mechanic when he explains what is wrong about our nation's foreign policy or to my plumber when he tells me how to file my income tax report. The mechanic's and the plumber's opinions on these respective subjects are worthless to me and I should be most foolish to attach credence to them, for in so doing I would likely be misled. So it is with idle speculation and arguments on God's word that one sees brazenly served up in daily abundance on this forum. --Hank | ||||||

Good afternoon, Hank I'm on a forum on church leadership which includes pastors, elders, parachurch leaders, etc. You would think that such a group (almost 200 individuals) would try to use Scripture as much as possible. Ain't happenin'! There's probably six or seven of us that will say, "But how does that line up with this passage?" And it's well-moderated, so we don't get off-the-wall comments. Steve |
