My answer…………………………………………………. Hi Hank, It’s good to see you’re still around. You bring up a very good point in your question. I agree that all of the participants of the forum should try to stay biblically based in general. However, may I bring up a few examples of where this becomes difficult and perhaps unnecessary? Sometimes questions are asked which are not actually dealt with specifically in scripture. For instance, recently there was a question asked about what the “Beatitudes” were. First of all, the word “beatitudes” never appears at all in the Bible. I answered this question by referring to the dictionary. There are some questions that simply can’t be answered by scripture alone. Another recent example was when a prolific poster on this forum recently alluded to a forthcoming change in marital status. There were several responses of a purely personal nature that followed. I think that this is appropriate considering that this forum is not simply a sterile environment where computers spit out answers at people. Instead, it is a community, made up of real people who have real feelings, and sometimes want to share those with one another. Finally, there are some threads that seem to go on quoting scriptures endlessly. Often there are two persons or groups of persons who are on opposing sides of an issue. This recently happened with two forumites debating whether Christians should ever get tattoos. After this continued for a while, I made a post trying to encourage them that there was actually very little difference in their opinions, and that perhaps they should move on to other questions. This post seemed to help to resolve that entire thread although I did not quote any scripture at all. All three of these events have occurred in just the last month, and they are not isolated incidents. I think that they demonstrate that although we should generally stick with scripture, that there can be times when other types of posts are also appropriate and helpful. |

Sir Pent, Hank done several reminders already, in his posts years ago, Hank, already address some of your point such as the forum should not use a chat room for members, the question should be related in the Bible can be answered by scripture from the Bible.
