Whatever you want to do about curtailing a discussion is fine, I won't bother to answer you then about it then... You ain't too interested in a rebuttal I can tell. I appreciate your insight, how's that? I do have to disagree with you though, I think it is important to have free discourse about Biblical concepts, doctrines and so on based on the scriptures and our intrepretation of them. But I respect your right to cut short any further discourse just the same.. Maybe next time if you don't want think it is profitable to discuss something further you could refrain form asking questions while at the same time saying let's let it go (we understand what a rhetorical question is..., but asking one and then saying let's not get into it may have an unintended barb in it somewhere). God bless, Tamara |

Tamara- quite sorry to have ruffled your feathers and ruffle them quite severely I did apparently. To begin with, I didn't ask a question, I simply pointed to the short-sighted assumptions and/or conclusions you had drawn in the post I was responding to. I take that as a responsibility as a forum participant. As for "curtailing" the discussion I was simply pointing to the fact that the issue has been discussed AND debated ad nauseam (in more forums than the internet and here). When all is said and done we are left with a lot of speculations (some more supported than others). It's not that I'm not interested in a rebuttal as you accuse, I only wanted to steer clear of repeating what's been repeated over and over again. As for your response to me I felt it unecessarily sarcastic and, should I say, almost volatile. And if I may say so ma'am, a "free discourse about Biblical concepts, doctrines and so on..." is something far different than engaging unecessarily in age old debates that those much more shcolarly than you and I can't even disagree on (especially when Scripture just doesn't finally, in the end, tell us). So again, I'm truly sorry to have offended you to the degree that you felt it necessary to respond in the way you did. Perhaps in our next interaction we will come closer together in a responsible, caring, and loving approach to bible study. God bless, Jeff |

I think the feather ruffling is all me actually, maybe if I had left out the word ain't it wouldn't have seemed sarcastic, which was not the intent. The intent was resignation to your request and I think I was being sassy because I love to study a subject and just get to chewin on it. Seems like you guys have chewed up sooooo much stuff in here that its all good to you to stop jawing about a thing, I understand. I have not been around long enough in here or out there to have discussed any subject add nauseum to be ready to drop and go, every darn thing is sooooooo interesting to me.... That is what happens to new jacks. I will try to take note though of when Sola Scriputa cannot be applied to straighten something out... Soorrrrrrryyyyyyyyy Back, God bless, the hat lady |

Thanks for the response Tamara. It took me a while to get used to using the search button to read topics that have been discussed here in-depth. Even still it doesn't seem as personal as I like since I'm reading things that were sometimes written and posted years ago. Still, that's one of the beauties of the SBF. It is a lengthy and growing record of the topic discussions and studies. It's not against the rules by the way to ask a question that's been asked before, but, it is a standard many of us here try to keep in trying to steer clear of devisive, debatable topics so that their not rehashed over and over again. For the new person coming on board I think it sometimes feels to them (perhaps true for you) that they are being personally attacked. Perhaps the way some of us approach it could be done more delicately so as not to cause offense or the need for defense. Again, I appologize if I've done that. I'm guessing by your participation so far that you are going to be one of the more beneficial participants as your sincerety and obvious love of God's word is so apparent. That is if you stick around and I for one hope you do. God bless, Jeff |
