Subject: Would his heart not be humbled? |
Bible Note: Val - While your active participation on SBF is welcomed, I beg your indulgence to read, study, and peradventure take to heart these comments from one of the "pioneers" of Study Bible Forum. Please take the time to refresh your thinking about what this Forum is all about as outlined in the material the Lockman Foundation has placed at the side-bar link under "About the Forum." ..... SBF is not a place for discussing theories or philosophies, but neither is it a place for posting a series of random verses to every question, without particular regard to whether they actually fit the question. We all of us have access to Bibles and can read random verses on our own! ..... I have no reason to believe that your intentions are anything less than honorable, but stringing verses together is NOT Bible study. Read how some of the experienced contributors to this Forum answer questions and you will see that they certainly do refer to Scripture heavily, but that they also attempt to answer questions and teach by exposition and exegesis of the Scripture. ..... Pick up a good study Bible such as John MacArthur's or Charles Ryrie's and see how these gifted men comment on the biblical text. ..... I noticed one new user's comment in regard to your posts. He was puzzled by your listing of a series of verses without any comment, exegesis, or exposiion of any kind as your way of "answering" questions. ..... So, if you will, please, please read and study the guidelines until you have a satisfactory grasp of what the purpose of this Forum is. May your future posts reflect this more complete understanding. --Hank |
