1 | Hmmm...Self-Examination | Prov 17:14 | Lissamz | 146868 | ||
Hmmm Saints, Seems to me that discussion is far and few inbetween on this website at times (actually, to be truthful, a lot of times). Proverbs 17:14 "The beginning of strife is like releasing water; Therefore stop contention before a quarrel starts." Proverbs 20:3 "It is honorable for a man to stop striving, Since any fool can start a quarrel." Ahhh, and a one more bit of the lessons in the Word... "If a believer sees another believer sinning, it is their duty to lovingly and respectfully confront the person with their sin (Matthew 18:15-17). This is not judging, but rather is pointing out the truth in hope of bringing repentance in the other person (James 5:20)." -gotquestions.org website Now, how about some decent DISCUSSION and refraining from arguing. The LORD does also see the posting on the boards, and the intent of the thoughts and the motivation of the heart behind the postings. Are we seeking to bring brothers and sisters into fellowship and help them along? Or are we seeking self-exultation and prideful recognition to "be right"? Meditation on the Word...Hmmmm |

Hello, Lissamz: Your note is duly noted; your concerns are our concerns; and your hopes for the Forum are also ours, we old timers of the Forum who have persisted for years to insure to the best of our ability that the Forum stay on the track for which it was intended from the first and to be what it was originally designed to be, a "study Bible with unlimited margins," as the Lockman Foundation described it when they envisaged its creation some four years ago. Since that time certain standards for user behavior have been established as the need for them became manifest; they are now in place, along with the means to enforce them. The Forum is not moderated, but it is constantly monitored. This means that individual posts are not read by a moderator in advance of their appearance on the Forum, but they are read and evaluated by a group of monitors who report violations of Forum guidelines to the Lockman Foundation who, in turn, may either warn the offending user to abide by Forum guidelines or, in flagrant cases of abuse, revoke the user's privilege to make any additional posts to the Forum. .... In adddition to this, each and every registrant is empowered to report to the Lockman Foundation any other user who does not follow the user guidelines that are published on the web site. This is done by activating the word "Abuse" shown in blue at the right of the ID# for each post. It has always been the policy of the Forum to encourage all users (1) to become familiar with the Forum guidelines, (2) to follow the guidelines, and (3) to report those who do not. Thanks for your well-considered observations and appropriate suggestions. We should all of us take them to heart and act upon them. God's blessings to you, Lissa. We value your participation on Study Bible Forum. --Hank | ||||||

Thank you for your heartfelt and informative response Hank (and make note, most of your posts I have read are really informative- Praise God!) I will check out those guidelines and I pray that this forum will be one of "so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God" Col. 1:10 The good LORD knows we need places online to discuss and learn more about His Word. hidden in Christ, Lissa |
