Bible Note: Hi, bible believer... We want to be very careful about properly annotating our quotations. Five very good reasons: (1) It honors and reflects the character of Him with Whom we have to do (Psalm 31:5). (2) It properly reflects our obedience to the holy command of the Decalogue (Exodus 20:15). (3) It lends credence to the wisdom of our teaching (Proverbs 8:6-9), ministering grace -- not corruption -- to our hearers (Ephesians 4:29). (4) It demonstrates a proper respect, honor, and love for our fellow forum members (Ephesians 4:25). (5) It is part of the express wishes of our gracious host, the Lockman Foundation -- the terms of which we promised to comply with when we joined. With a little more thought, I'm sure this list could be lengthened. Thank you for showing the Holy Spirit's influence in your life by your well thought through and conscientious cooperation. In Him, Doc |
