1 | Country Girl: Scripture...or Opinion? | Gen 2:9 | Country Girl | 126571 | ||
I agree with you that our biggest priority on the Forum is to shine the light on God's Word as much as possible. But I also think it's OK to occasionally cast at least a flash light on other topics closely related as long as the discussion is Bible based in Spirit. Our Father in Heaven expects us to use our brains and the Spirit of His Word to figure out some tough answers to tough questions that are NOT clearly answered in the Bible, at least not easily found. Sometimes it seems our Lord left us some things for us to figure out in this manner with this kind of discussion SO THAT we could grow, mature AND come to a greater appreciation for one another. But it seems as I alluded to earlier with Theo-Minor, that instead of growing and appreciating one another, we see a lot of harsh put downs, name calling and a lot of immature and rash statements. I do hope someone will be inspired to look at all the posts over these last few weeks/months and encourage us all (including me) to grow up and start acting like we have a Father in Heaven watching us. I'm thinking right about now, He's ashamed of all of us. Blessings to you all. Country Girl |

I don't think he's ashamed of us all. You're a better person than I am, and you haven't done anything wrong. Nor do I think I've done anything wrong. These topics have all been bible-based, and as such, opinion CAN sometimes play into it. Remember that his laws are written on our hearts and minds. The Spirit teaches us the things we need to know. The problem isn't the behavior so much as it is the source of the behavior. Pride, arrogance, vanity ... these are things that are not of God. When our discussions begin with a genuine question, get answered with a sound answer, then the answers are disputed with doctrine and opinion instead of sound, contextual scripture, there is no way we can ever accomplish anything. And to add insult to injury, people that are backing up what they say have to tolerate insults from the people in control who contradict with opinion. If you prove them wrong, they restrict the topic. Hence, the reason I posted a statement that this is not a bible forum. It's an opinion forum. For all that they say it's for bible based questions to be answered with bible based answers, it's more an exchange of opinions than anything else ... ranging in topics from premillenium/preterist discussions in favor of their opinion, to discussions of sin and law, in favor of their opinion. Anything that comes too close to home gets restricted, lest they be forced to concede a point they don't want to concede. May I have your email Country Girl? I'd love to talk with you, and just you. Is that something you'd be okay with? Theo-Minor |
