I would not say hostility is the right word, agitated might be a better choice. You are no doubt knowledgeable about the Bible. But, from reading your posts, they come across to me as you are better than someone else when their view/post/belief is different than what you believe. This agitates me. This is an open forum. It is open to any and all who want to post, ask questions, give their view on scripture or whatever as long as they follow the guidlines that had to be agreed upon before creating a user name for this website. First off, I have never asked you to explain anything about 'ho theos' as I had never heard that word(s) before until you first used them in your post since I do not know Greek. 1) capitalization, I get your point. More sarcasim from you on the paragrahs, tabs and what not... 1 John 4:14 was used by me to illustrate an example of God and Jesus Christ being referred to by something other than the words God and Jesus Christ. The comment about not having your Greek handy to translate was a little sarcasim from me, my bad!!! But when reading your posts, you like to add in Greek it says _______ 'fill in the blank'. Well, I don't read, speak or understand Greek. But, I know that I do not have to know any Greek to understand the word of God. the Scriptural references you give do not state that God is the God of this world. If you will go back and read your post from which I took this quote, you will notice you were making a point of how since God created the world, God loves the world and God wants to save the world, none of those verses say, "is He not also the God of this world that He created, loves, and saves?" As for you comment about my email to you. I do not have a saved copy of this email, but if I remember correctly, I think I asked WHY would God blind anyone. You provided scripture that answered that question. I do not hold anything personally against you. I just do not agree with how your posts read to me. Your posts seem to portray yourself as better than others when trying to "defend" your point of view. Have a wonderful day fellow heir... Mike |

Mike - It rather distresses me to learn your view of Tim Moran's posts. You say that in them he comes across as appearing to be better than his peers on the Forum. I was on this Forum when Tim made his very first post and have followed his work rather closely since that time. Your reaction to Tim's posts surprises me because, quite candidly, I have found him to be consistently kind, polite, and patient in his relationships with Forum participants. In fact, I would hold Tim's posts up to everyone as a paragon, for he not only is diligent to present solid, scripturally-founded arguments, but he does it with love and tenderness. I have seen this Christian brother under attack on this Forum a number of times and he rises to the occasion admirably, showing an abundance of poise and grace under fire. I beg you to re-assess your evaluation of Tim Moran's posts. He is a distinct asset to StudyBibleForum, and how I long for his enviable gift to disagree so agreeably! ..... There is always the possibility, Mike, that what we perceive as imperfections in others is merely a mirror of ourselves. Shakespeare put it, "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars but in ourselves." --Hank | ||||||

I had a very well thought out response to your post Hank, but when I hit the preview follow-up button, it said I had a bad character or something. When I hit the back button, everything I had typed was gone. I am not going to even attempt to 'do it again' as it would not be the same. Let me just say that I have nothing personally against Tim or any other user on this forum. I have no problem identifying or acknowledging my imperfections as they are many. I did not say Tim is imperfect (even though all have fallen short of the glory of God Rom 3:23) I was only stating how I felt he was towards my posts. Mike |

Hi Mike, One thing I have learned to do is, before clicking preview, to select everything I have written, right-click for my computer's editor, and click copy. This stores my post on my clipboard, so that if I have to go back because I used an ampersand or some such, not all is lost, i can just paste it back in. I have lost several posts that way, I believe they were my most eloquent and persuasive ones. ;) Love in Chirst, Mark |

Mark, There have been times I have done this trying to go back and forth between three or four different posts to make sure my facts are straight. This time I didn't. Oh well, thanks for the info. Mike |
