Subject: The Forum -- Your Opinion? |
Bible Note: Greetings, Charis, I can offer only a hearty "AMEN" to everything you stated in your analysis of the forum with one exception. I cannot agree with your statement, "I do not think that much true damage can be done here." The reason for my disagreement is that we are promoting God's divine Word on this forum. If we were promoting anything else besides God's Word on this forum, I would agree 100 percent that our answers would probably make very little difference or impact in peoples' lives and most would not pay much attention to the answers we give anyway. In the teaching and pomoting of God's Word, however, we must realize that people all over the world are looking at our answers. Their eternal destiny depends on our correct analysis of the holy scriptures (2 Tim. 2:15). This can only be accomplished by interpretating scripture with scripture. If our interpretation is incorrect and it leads a non-Christian (or Christian) down the wrong spiritual road (Prov. 14:12; 16:25), God will not only hold those individuals that are reading our postings accountable on judgment day but will hold us as teachers of the Word accountable as well. James 3:1 states, "Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we shall incur a stricter (greater condemnation - KJV) judgment." (NASB). Blessings to you in Christ, Mike |
