1 | What is the true meanign of proverbs 18: | Prov 17:17 | stjohn | 208735 | ||
By the way Tim, here is something Doc (DocTrinsograce) has written that explains your concerns of wether we should cite our source when posting something someone else wrote. Quote: --"Over the years we notice that some forum participants prefer to use the words of others rather than invest the time, energy, and effort in smithing their own words. There's nothing inherently wrong with that. For example, bringing a particularly well written quote from someone with greater authority than our own can often be a valuable exercise for us all. Of course, when we fail to attribute to the rightful owner the words we use, it becomes a different matter. This is what is called plagiarism. Plagiarism is a fancy word for stealing. Its a bit worse than that, however, because it is also an effort to elicit admiration for prowess of intellect, creativity, and academic industry that rightly belongs to another. Consequently, this sort of behavior is rooted in violations of at least two and more probably three of the Ten Commandments; i.e., it is sin." "Please, in the future, show greater respect for the Lord, the Lockman Foundation, and your fellow forum members by employing the highest standards of intellectual honesty that you can muster." "Take the following aphorism from a man who knows well from his own bitter, past experience: Character is more easily maintained than restored!"-- In Him, Doc You see Tim, it matters not at all if it is in the public domain or not. We should always cite our source when posting something we didn't write ourselves. John |

2 | What is the true meanign of proverbs 18: | Prov 17:17 | Timaeus | 208826 | ||
My Christian brothers, well, I will tell everyone now why I stopped using one identity, it was, for a while I stayed away from the Forum for the reason that I felt that users were being overly critical of others and overly judgemental, which is a conflict with the direction I would like my walk to continue. To wit: you wrote: By the way Tim, here is something Doc (DocTrinsograce) has written... ((and further)) participants prefer to use the words of others rather than invest the time, energy, and effort in smithing their own words. ???Well is that not what just happened in your post?? I come to the forum because it is an excellent source to learn about the deeper issues in God's Word. I tell others to go to SBF when they have a question that I am unable to answer. I have deleted my profiles because there is no reason why people should pursue this issue after I have given my apologies to all readers of this thread. I made a mistake and apologized and the complaining posts nevertheless continued. And now feel that I am being judged for my actions as a fallable mortal being. I may or may not return in the future (with a new identity) to avoid overly confusing anyone who places too much emphasis on details instead of the heart of the message. May our Lord bless you all. nameless |

Dear Tim, I am glad that you find the forum helpful and hope to learn more of God's Word. I believe SBF is designed for such purpose of helping believers' learning through constructive discussion biblically based. In concern with the identity, it is not an issue of anyone who places much emphasis on details, it is about the terms of use listed by our host the Lockman and we, as forum users, should comply. I have read your user profile before your deletion and am impressed by your testimony on how God has worked in you and helped you in your time of difficulties. I trust that God's work in molding a clay in His hand continues in your life as well as mine especially when there are times we feel offended or being misunderstood. After you have PRAYERFULLY reconsidered the issue and decided to break the bread with us, kindly let us know which user identity is your final choice. Prov 27:6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But deceitful are the kisses of an enemy. Shalom Azure |
