Sir Pent Let me bring this into a little perspective. This is a Bible study forum not a Bible debate forum. In the a Bible study you try to glean the truth of the word and then discuss how to apply it and utilize it in your Christian walk. In doctrinal debates usually a person has an off the wall or favorite doctrine they want everyone to accept. This is usually mindless debate and rarely offers any good result. There are hundreds of them out there on the Web and most anyone is welcome to go there and enjoy themselves. However this forum is dedicated to Bible study and applying biblical truths to our everyday life. Many come here because they find a degree of rational thinking that isn't present in so many other "Bible" forums. Why is that? Because most rational thinkers know it serves no purpose to argue doctrine with someone that has no other interest than hearing himself talk. I fail to understand why someone who is so dissatisfied with the format of this forum and the way Lockman has it structure keeps coming back. Perhaps they are looking of the intelligent conversation or perhaps they are looking for an argument. There is a common saying either become part of the solution or get out of the way. If you or anyone has an idea on how to conduct a Bible study forum in a better manner perhaps you would share it with us. Again this is a Bible study forum not a Biblical debate forum. I hope this adds some perspective EdB |

Sir Pent You said you were hurt by my response in my last post to you. I apologize if it hurt you but I fail to see how. Only one comment in my post that being in the last paragraph was directed at to anyone in particular. In that sentence I asked if you had any ideas for making the forum better to offer them. I simply stated this was a Bible Study forum not a Biblical debate forum. I offer my rational as to why I thought many come here. I also said I did not understand why someone that was dissatisfied with how Lockman had it structured would keep visiting it. That would only apply to soemone that was dissatisfied and was making snide remarks but you just said you weren’t dissatisfied. So it would no mean you. I then gave a general admonishment to everyone that they should either become part of the solution or get out of the way. It was then personally asked if you had any suggestions and if so please offer them. I see you have and Hank has directed you to the right place to voice them. Tell me how were you hurt by this response? And let me ask another question why would you claim you were hurt if there is nothing there to hurt you? I like Hank have been here for a long time, I'm wondering how you could compile a list of things that can be discussed and not discussed yet neither Hank nor I are aware of any such list? EdB |

Ancient and Stultis, There is no seceret list of topics. However as has been pointed out this is a study site not debate site. You both wonder why respective post have been restrictive. Just honestly read the threads. I have been invovled in many threads that have been restricted as I like to take on the hard questions. These post have been restricted because they are argumentitive and both deny clear teachings of The Bible. The Lockman Foundation says it will do this in the Terms of Use Agreement we all agree to before being allowed access to the forum. What I belive is being done here is tring to protect young belivers and those weak in the faith from such agrumentive positions. Please know this my opinion and not that of the Lockman Foundation. | ||||||
