Bible Note: Dear bibleman, Perhaps you thought he was wrong before you came here? And it has become quite obvious to me at least, form your own admission that, you are indeed trying to bait us. This is indeed not welcome, You, by the way, are welcome, as long as we can have a serious study of the Bible, without calling into question God's character, God's sovereignty, or God's inability to sin in any way. If you cannot accept this, then, yes, I'm sorry to say, perhaps you are not welcome. I am sorry you are having trouble with your friend, if indeed you have such a friend, a fact in witch by the way, I am very skeptical. But I will repeat, this is not the place for such a discussion. Your so-called friend is in no way responsible for his thoughts or actions if he is having these delusions, and you are not 'being' responsible, if you do not try to get your friend some psychiatric help, which this forum is in no way equipped to do, nor is it the intention of our gracious host, the Lockman Foundation. If you think that is being unfriendly or unchristian, I'm sorry, I cant help the way you think or feel. But I can tell you this my friend, this place is different, and it is different from any other that I have been or even heard of, and we here try very hard to keep it that way. I have come to know and love the regulars here in a way that truly wonderful, and they are all very dear to me, and it is my sincere desire and prayer, that you could come to that place in your walk as well. But, yes, unfortunately, sometimes we deal with people quite shortly, simply because we don't have the format or means to deal with questions that do not edify the forum in general. Please understand, we have a responsibly to all that come here, not just the errant individual. It is a shame indeed that we have to sometimes just ask people to knock it off, for the good of the many. Questions of this nature, are not helpful to those who are just learning to know and trust God, so please, don't think we are saying these things to mean to you, we are not. It is our sincere prayer that all who come here truly learn to know and love our Lord, and His word. But we cannot give one individual all the rope we would like to. I hope you understand. So, my friend, I ask you again in all Christian love and sincerity, please, stop it. John |
