1 | Is Steve really all wrong? | 1 Tim 3:2 | Makarios | 6984 | ||
EdB, I realize that you feel that Steve was just providing his point of view, and by all rights, he has that privilege as we all do. However, the issue here is not "Whether we should take the Bible literally or not". The issue has gotten way off the original question that was posted, and it has led one of our fellow members to do so much as doubt the leadership of Paul, which is proven factual through Scripture! This and other erroneous misinterpretations that have resulted from the misinterpretation of the above cited verse (1 Tim 3:2) have caused the reponses by a few members to provide some 'constructive criticism' where it is needed so that we may study the Bible without bringing our presuppositions to it. In no way can Steve back up his claim and that has been pointed out to him. It is these types of 'misrenderings' that can be either (1) taken as a joke, or (2) read by someone who is not a believer or 'weak' believer and taken as truth, or (3) taken seriously and rebuked or corrected by those who want to see good Bible based answers to good questions. In no way do we want to 'exclude' any members, but we should keep a tight restraint on what we put here on the Forum, since ANYONE can see this, and we should be dealing with Truth instead of the opinions of a few people that refuse to provide sensible answers in good stewardship (or in this case, one person).I appreciate your allusion to your church and what you spoke of, but I believe that it does not relate entirely to the situation at hand. I appreciate your concern and I appreciate your willingness to 'pull for the underdog' here, but this is exactly the type of thing that threatens the health of the Forum and keeps good students of the Bible (who will provide good, solid answers to Biblically based questions) away from the Forum or only as 'observers' of the Forum, afraid to come into the 'limelight'. | ||||||
