Hey Guys! I've been reading through this thread and how many Scripture references have y'all posted on this topic? Just wondering where you are heading . . . "Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person." Col 4:6 mommapbs |

Mommapbs: Cease to wonder where kalos and I are headed, for I will tell you plainly. Kalos and I are two of the "pioneers" of this Forum who have from the beginning opposed raw speculation and opinion that is totally unsupported, and more often than not unsupportable, by Scripture. It has been and continues to be our aim to do everything we can to get and to keep the Forum on the track for which it was conceived and designed by the Lockman Foundation: to be a venue for serious Bible study, for responsibie, Bible-oriented and Bible-documented interchange on Bible topics. If you care to examine the thousands of posts that both kalos and I have entered on this Forum, you will see that over the years each of us has spoken many times to the very points we raise today: to exhort and remind every user of this Forum of the obligation he incurs with every post to make it a Bible-based post and to include Scripture reference whenever possible. ...... This, Mommapbs and all other users and readers of this Forum, is where we're headed. Why don't you join us? --Hank | ||||||

Greetings Hank - I've had quite a dialog with Kalos on this thread that has saddened me to a degree. We seem to be on different wavelengths here as I believe that when we share God's Word together we also should be able to tell how it has affected our lives. "but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence;" 1 Peter 3:15 The personal application of the Word in our circumstances or experiences becomes a source of encouragement to others in their walk of faith. (At least this is for me when I read what God is doing in the lives of others). BUT, this is not to demean or discourage the importantance of diligent study and the correct exegesis of the Word! Perhaps I too have been negligent in supporting my "opinions" with chapter and verse, but my intent has never been to pervert God's Word or handle it inappropriately. So, where do we stand - together or apart? Can you honor those who not only study the Word but also seek to "flesh it out" in their lives? Hank, if you believe that my position is offensive or divisive, just tell me plainly. I honor you as my elder in the Lord and trust that God is guiding you in your jealous desire for the integrity of His Word. Blessings to you my brother! mommapbs |
