Dear Quvmoh, If a particular subject or post doesn't interest you, it is becoming of a Christian brother or sister to make no response at all rather than make one as you did. Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Stand in His grace, WOS |

What is wrong with what the response I gave? I want further insight about the copied article. How does it relate to us as Christians Today? How does it relate to the Bible? Why did the poster feel compelled to put that up on the forums? I apologize if my response is offensive. It was not intended to be such. It is intended to get more information. Was the post intended to educate us? Was it intended to encourage conversation? Was it intended to show how resourceful the poster is and how extensive his library is? There is nothing provided but a copied article with the original author's name given. There is nothing else there. No comments. No insights. No scripture verses aside from the one where it is filed in to. Not even a comment about how to copied article relates to the verse in Jeremiah. I applaud Doc on his resourcefulness and the extensiveness of his library. However, how does the copied article relate to this verse in Jeremiah? While it is becoming a Christian not respond at all, it is equally becoming of a Christian to explain what is provided. Quvmoh |

You mention a fascination with honor in your profile. How about applying yourself to learn of “biblical” honor or rather a Christian honor which involves love and respect of the brethren? After all, that is what we are here to do, to study and learn and grow. I don’t know much about the klingon culture, but I’m sure there aren’t many klingons that are Christian. How about learning from the brothers and sisters who share joy in he Lord. I’m just saying, maybe your focus should be on Christian honor. A good place to start may be: 1Peter 2:17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king. Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; “A respectful love: In honour preferring one another. Instead of contending for superiority, let us be forward to give to others the pre-eminence. This is explained, Phi_2:3, Let each esteem other better than themselves. And there is this good reason for it, because, if we know our own hearts, we know more evil by ourselves than we do by any one else in the world. We should be forward to take notice of the gifts, and graces, and performances of our brethren, and value them accordingly, be more forward to praise another, and more pleased to hear another praised, than ourselves - going before, or leading one another in honour; so some read it: not in taking honour, but in giving honour. “Strive which of you shall be most forward to pay respect to those to whom it is due, and to perform all Christian offices of love (which are all included in the word honour) to your brethren, as there is occasion. Let all your contention be which shall be most humble, and useful, and condescending.” So the sense is the same with Tit_3:14, Let them learn, - to go before in good works. For though we must prefer others (as our translation reads it), and put on others, as more capable and deserving than ourselves, yet we must not make that an excuse for our lying by and doing nothing, nor under a pretence of honouring others, and their serviceableness and performances, indulge ourselves in ease and slothfulness.” – Matthew Henry Philippians 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. There wasn’t necessarily a problem with your “questions”, only with the way you asked them. It seemed incredibly disrespectful to say the very least and that makes some question your motives for asking in the first place. Stand in His grace, WOS |
