Searcher I object to your implication that I twist Scripture. In fact what do you say of someone who takes the seven days of Gen 1.1 - 2.4 and tries to suggest that the important thing is only the first six days, as though that changed anything? To any intelligent person it is quite clearly a seven day pattern. Finding 'an exception' proves absolutely nothing. No one says that all numbers are always used in that way, only that a pattern can be discerned of numbers often used in a certain way, something agreed by many reputable commentaries. Finding hidden codes is something quite different. They were not put in deliberately. Just because you do not agree there is no need to sink to insults. |

Bman, I must say that I'm impressed with your scope of knowledge and grateful for your willingness to share. But, quite disappointed that you would read evil between the lines so to speak and, accuse Searcher of insults. I've known Searcher for quite some time, I've read a lot of what he has written, and I see, nor have I seen any such thing. The worst part is, is that you would go so far as to return evil for 'assumed' evil. (1 Thess 5:15; ) And for no other reason then revenge for something that he probably didn't even do, or, just that he doesn't agree with you, you responded with an implication that our brother Searcher is stupid..... Shame on you. I've noted that your feathers get a little ruffled when someone doesn't agree with you, perhaps you could take a break and pray the lord would guide you toward a kinder answer. And please don't think for a moment that I think I'm any better then you, you can read some of my stuff and see I'm not perfect by any means. -John | ||||||

StJohn Searcher was arguing against my indicating that numbers have a meaning in Scripture. He said 'I do not twist Scripture to fit what I want. I could make numbers, names Whatever you say that is a general implication therefore that I am twisting the Scriptures. I suspect you did not follow the thread through. For some strange reason Searcher was trying to avoid the number seven in relation to creation and this was immediately after we had been discussing the number seven. My words were not 'revenge'. They were a reply to his argument and drawing attention to the fact that you quite obviously could not avoid the number seven in regard to creation. So once again I have to reject your strictures. No my feathers do not get ruffled. But i do think we should treat each other with respect. Best wishes |

Respect, can and I believe should be a two way street. And friend I've seen little coming from your direction since your arrival at SBF. Let me remind you, sir, this is a Bible study, not a debate forum, nor is it a classroom, or a lecture podium from which one can lecture to us. A little humility goes a long way, may I suggest that you try it. I can assure you sir, that our gracious host, The Lockman Foundation, does not put up with any nonsense, and will deal with those who think they can come in here and try to run the show with their own agenda.-John | ||||||

What is StudyBibleForum.com? For the teacher and scholar, it's an opportunity to freely share your knowledge. It is not a discussion group or topical survey, but an ever growing "expository repository" that gives the layman and scholar an opportunity to share truth and contribute wisdom. (I will remember in future not to answer people's questions). |

Bman, you wrote; "(I will remember in future not to answer people's questions)." Do you mind telling me what that means? Has anyone asked you not to respond to questions? In fact sir, I have twice now complimented you on your scope of knowledge and your willingness to share that knowledge. So, if you are inferring that I'm asking you to not answer questions, then I have to say sir from my perspective and with all do respect that that is a completely uncalled for, sarcastic prevarication! And if you wish to quote from the TOU then may I add "Postings must not be intended as a personal attack on other users of this forum. They must not be submitted as an effort to foster debates, arguments, divisiveness, ill-will, dissension or disruptions to this forum." Something for which you seem more then willing to do when someone does not agree with you. I'll leave you now with good will, prayers, and best wishes. -John | ||||||
