I noticed that 70 percent of your Notes (19 out of 27) contain no scriptural references or quotes. Interesting. |

Maybe we should just stick to asking questions or making notes on specific verses - instead of judging answers given. | ||||||

Nah... then we'd have to change the name to AnyAnswerOkayBibleForum ... Besides, that would be unscriptural. Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of Me. (John 5:39) Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. (1 Thessalonians 5:21) Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. (Colossians 4:6) But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear. (1 Peter 3:15) Even Paul's answers were judged... These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. (Acts 17:11) |

Ok Doc. - I fully agree. I just don't like comments made without posing a question from scripture or giving a scripture reference. If anyone on the board has an issue they should ask a direct question - instead of making general comments. I have been accused of promoting a certain view about diet and the Sabbath but unfortunately I have been providing scripture. It always comes down to "reasoning" as Paul demonstrated in the NT. We were all given a brain to reason. The problem comes when we let our pride get in front of truth. In love, Merv |

Dear Merv, Just because someone doesn't see eye-to-eye with you -- William Miller, Ellen White, or other so-caled authorities that are extra-Biblical -- does not necessarily mean they are "prideful." That is called an ad hominem argument. Even though our doctrinal origins are very different, I can say with utter confidence, and a clear conscience before our Lord, that Kalos is one of the most Godly men I have the pleasure of knowing. He has an extremely high view of scripture, and immerses himself in it daily. He also is very conversant with the biblical tools that are extant. Merv, scripture calls us to "not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly" and to "each esteem other better than themselves." It is presumptuous of you to affix such vices to Kalos. He has been on the forum a long time, whereas you are a relative newcomer. You will need to face the questions of other forum members and deal with properly in order to gain any patient hearing of your positions. Meanwhile, we will all be searching the scriptures to see if these things be so. Please demonstrate your own virtue of humility by being less hasty to make accusations of others for whom Christ has died. After all, it is not about winning or losing an argument, its about the truth. Furthermore, God calls us to reason, think, meditate, etc. If a person disdains thinking it is inconsistent to try to deliberate at all! In Him, Doc |

Dear Doc: "I will be the first to admit pride if I ignore scripture that is clear. But scripture must be reasoned and put in context. Many positions held are in error because people do not reason and "prove all things". I did not say Kalos was prideful. I was generally saying that pride can get in the way of honest and true reasoning. I do not intend to personalize any of my comments. Kalos made a general comment that someone was not providing verses on a certain percentage of notes. I think this is wrong. If you have an issue with a response - then ask a direct question instead of - in my opinion - getting personal by putting down a person's general way of responding. Again, I think this is a great forum and I completely enjoy the feedback and topics discussed. But being direct on asking questions or giving feedback is much better than trying to make personal attacks. We should all respect the views of others and if we wish to not respond directly to scriptural issues - then we should reflect the commands of God. I will be the first now to apologize if I have not followed this advice and will strive to do so in the future. In search of the truth, Merv |
