1 | Do you forgive Judas? | John 13:11 | Mommapbs | 42749 | ||
Hank - Thanks for your prompt reply. Although not addressed to me, your criticism of others who pose questions on the Forum did upset me. It has been said, if you can't say something nice . . . and this has NOTHING to do with tolerance. I agree, we must be vigilant in defending the Faith and the Truth of God's Word. But there is a way to do it, with gentleness, respect and love. This appeared to be lacking (from my perspective) in your response. We are to told to esteem others more highly than ourselves and in the context of this command, I felt that you were being unfair to the the author of the original question. How does one discover the Truth unless one desires to know it? Discovery always involves questions. No question should be ever called inane or enept. To do so may discourage others from participation. If I harbor bitterness toward you or any other in my heart, the only one who will suffer is me. Therefore, it is better to forgive the offense than to become an offender. Please don't get your hackles up - this has been a good exercize in recognizing my own critical spirit and what I evoke in others! If I have offended you in any way, please accept my sincere apologies! Mommapbs |

2 | Do you forgive Judas? | John 13:11 | kalos | 42777 | ||
You write: "No question should be ever called inane or enept." What about foolish or ignorant? Is the Bible wrong when it says some questions are "foolish and unlearned (ignorant)"? AMPLIFIED 2 Timothy 2:23 But refuse (shut your mind against, have nothing to do with) trifling (ill-informed, unedifying, stupid) controversies over ignorant questionings, for you know that they foster strife and breed quarrels. KJV 2Ti 2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. KJV 1Ti 1:4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. KJV 1Ti 6:4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, KJV Tit 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. |

Kalos: Thank you for the Scriptures. Are you suggesting that the orignal question was "foolish, ignorant, contentious, not edifying"? It was edifying for me as it caused me to thank God for Judas as His instrument. For with his participation, today I HAVE SALVATION! This question also caused me to reflect upon the Judas's I have in my own life and what my attitude toward them is (should be). I am sorry if my reactions to Hank's post have offended you. My primary concern was and is that when you cast disparaging remarks (as opposed to a Biblical rebuke) upon another's posting, (Hank referred to Love Fountain's question as "inane and inept") others may also experience a sense of inadequacy and become discouraged from future Forum participation.

Mommapbs, before you issued injunctions of rebuke, you should have read your own post to kalos! --Hank | ||||||
