1 | Does it take away sins or not? | Lev 16:34 | Bill Mc | 19846 | ||
Dear Sir Pent, Thanks for the admonition. I will go back and read your Forum Improvements #2 and respond to it. I, however, do not consider myself to be a leader here on this forum. I have been often reminded that, due to my lack of adherance to Calvanism or Armenianism principles, due to my ignorance of the original languages, due to my failure to worship at the feet of the revered church fathers, and the omission of ThD after my name, that I am just another sheep. That's fine. The only thing this sheep is trying to do is, hopefully, lead other sheep to the Shepherd, not the perceived 'Shepherd's crook.' We already have plenty of sheep and self-proclaimed shepherds doing that. Our greatest responsibility is to share the truth. Granted, this should be done in love, and I do endeavor to do so. But the heart of true love is concern for the other person's best interest, their soul, not just saying 'everyone's opinions are completely valid.' This is 'valid' in the sense of being the truth, not in the sense of whether they should be expressed or not. Everyone has the privelege here of free expression. And everyone here (including myself), must bear the consequence of having their expression challenged by the truth of God's Word. Thanks for the admonition. I will endeavor to see the forest more clearly. But, at the same time, I am not willing to sacrifice the truth of the one Tree (Vine) to do so. In Christ, Bill Mc |

Resolution ...................................... Dear Bill Mc, Thank you for being willing to "look for the forrest". As for not being a leader, the dictionary defines it simply as being a guide. There are a lot of other definitions as well, but none of them include fluency in Greek, or any of the other things that you mentioned. I do not intend to insult our distinguished forum members who have this knowledge. I appreciate the insight that they are able to share as a result of this this skill. For example, Tim Moran's "Word Study" post in this thread was excellent and very helpful. I also consider Tim to be a leader on this Forum. My point is just that these things are not required to be a leader, and that all of us (even those like me, that don't know Hebrew, etc.) need to be more responsible with our posts. |
