Aixen7z4 Myself and many others have made impassioned pleads to Lockman to incorporate many of the ideas you touched upon. In defense of Lockman the cost or expense to incorporate them makes them not feasible or they are technically impossible to do within the present framework of the forum. Also the cost of converting the forum to a more receptive format is again is prohibitive. As far as picking a handful of “Experts” while it seems to be a good idea, because we all come from different backgrounds and different denominations it quickly becomes evident that if you have 10 experts you will have at least 11 different opinions of any particular scripture. Alas the forum far short of what many of us had dreamed of when Lockman announced their plan nearly three years ago. I like you envisioned a running commentary that one day could be used as dependable reference on nearly any verse or passage of the Bible. Instead it is a collection of good, bad and in some cases really stupid commentary. It contains opinions, prejudices, false teaching, correct teaching, malicious teaching, healing teaching and teaching straight from the pit of hell. Since there is never a conclusion or a summary the only way one can come to any conclusion of the discussion good or bad is to read all that has been written and form some opinion based on what was said. Unfortunately many times the worst or lousiest teaching sounds the most convincing and I fear many have left the forum with terrible theology. Education or experience does not define or guarantee the correct understanding of the Bible, nor does the warm fuzzies that many feel are sure sign they are on the right track. The true meaning of each verse of the Bible must stand upon every other verse of the Bible. As long as people freely say, this writer didn’t mean thus and such or this is only talking about people in that society, or that was custom of that society and doesn’t pertain to us today or this was only the writer’s opinion not God’s teaching or this word doesn’t mean that it really means this. You will always have these differences. Only one time in church history did nearly everyone hold to the same doctrine and that was destroyed by the reformation. EdB |

The Lord still calls on us to do 1 Corinthians 1:10. So I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. In the present situation, it is a task. But I think we should all undertake it. If each of us would speak "Thus saith the Lord", then it would be a matter of reconciling Scripture with Scripture. I think we all see the need to do that. |
