Hank, You asked so here goes. The rating system has me about upset. I asked a legitimate question and had received some answers; most left me looking for more. A person responded that offered another approach. This approach did not agree with someone, even though the approach is an accepted possible biblical scenario to a question that has been debated for years. Someone now has red flagged all the updates of that person. Which to me is absurd. I think we should be able to have the identity of who voted. Also I think this forum should not be used as an advice column. Too much of the advice that has been given in this forum is ungodly and straight from the pit of hell. Third problem I have is with the frequent responders that present themselves as Biblical scholars. When a tough or difficult question is asked they either do not response to it or more often they wait until someone else does, then they very piously, but oh so graciously tear apart that persons answer. It has all the appearances of an effort to esteem themselves above others by making others look like fools. |

Dear EdB, I know it's good to vent, but... At least I know that I wasn't the culprit that red-flagged orthodoxy :-) I hope my advice to others was not ungodly and from the pit of hell. I pray that my motives were not an effort to esteem myself above others by making others look like fools. I still think that this is the best Christian forum I have seen. Full disclosure of voters defeats the purpose of secret ballot. Where questions are allowed, advice will be solicited. Advice from hell will probably be obvious to most of this audience. I suppose a lot of us are 'wannabe scholars.' Even the fellows with (or seeking) acronyms and abbreviations after their names :-) Then again, I trust that most want to serve God and His people by participating in this forum. Peace upon you, friend, in the name of Jesus, charis |

Hank I'm sorry I vented. I apologize to you and the forum. It's just this person that put those red flags on Orthodoxy's comments to my questions has me seeing red. As far as the forum giving advice I'm very worried about the quality given. I think this forum is too far removed from any situation to give good, helpful and Godly advice. I also get a definite feeling that many “Christians” look at prayer as, “well there is nothing else to do we might as well pray”. Jesus told us faith expressed in prayer moves mountains. I believe that! I believe because prayer is so powerful it is the weapon of choice of a Christian when they find themselves in need. Second guessing is very common in our society and many people do it without even realizing they are doing it. People when they respond to forum need to ask themselves, why are they responding? Do they have something to add to the discussion? Do they need a point clarified? Do they have another point that is as of yet un-thought of? Or are they trying to one up or one down a previous answer. If the later is their reason they aren’t interested in a Bible study they are looking for a debate. Or they are looking to make themselves appear to have all the answers. In other words they want to appear superior and haveeveryone else should hold them in high esteem and yield to their intellect. |
