Lamplight I have taken the time to read each of your posts and I'd like to share some of my thoughts with you. Each person who has found Christ, like yourself, has a feeling of exuberance which they want to share with their fellow man. It is easy to see this feeling within your writings. When entering this forum to share your happiness with your fellow man, you are now in a position in which many people are listening to each word you say. You are taking on the role of a teacher. It is very easy to find a passage from the Bible and interpret it in your own manner to justify a position. But, as a with any teacher, accuracy is of the utmost importance. In one of your replies, you commented for someone to go read Revelations, that's a broad, easy statement. You would be of more service to that person, as a teacher, if you directed them to a specific part of Revelations - and then helped them understand what they were reading and specifically how that is relevant to the question. But, before you post your guidance, you have a responsibilty as a teacher to double and triple check your recommendations, your interpretations, even your typed answers. Take the time to teach, correctly. People are coming to this forum for guidance, not just a flip answer. By the way, the people on this forum whom I have found to be the best qualified teachers, on whom you can trust are: Hank, Nolan, Tim Moran, Charis, Reformer Joe, EdB and a rookie to the group, Emmaus. There are others. Each represents a slightly different perspective and, at times, will disagree among themselves. But, they are good people and they take their teaching responsibilities very serious and I think, in time, you will appreciate them. Also, teach - but teach with the understanding of your responsibility to your student. Quality is always more important than quantity. I know you have many great things to contribute to this forum and I look forward to hearing what you have to say. Brian |

Thank you brian. I wanted to respond with a better reference to revelations, but the search here for the forum, well, I am on a learning curve should I say. I will be more careful and I do see your point, and a good one at that. I am sensative sometimes, and well I felt personally attached by hank on my first trial on this forum. I am over it now, but it did make me think about how we are reflecting ourselves to the non-believers. I guess I have way too big of a heart sometimes. Your criticism I can accept, becasue It was done in honesty, sincerity and Love. | ||||||
