Subject: The Forum -- Your Opinion? |
Bible Note: Mike: Indeed in a setting such as this, i.e., a Bible Forum, honest biblical questions should be accorded honest biblical answers. I agree with you without reservation on that. It doesn't always happen that way, as you no doubt have already discovered. If the question has to do with a passage of Scripture that presents no real interpretative challenges, it is easy enough to provide a plain, scriptural answer that will be acceptable to virtually everyone. If the question has to do with topics such as election and free will, faith and works, and the security of the believer (once saved, always saved versus "losing" one's salvation), then what one user may consider a perfectly sound biblical answer may be viewed as gross error by another. You may post what you view as the absolute biblical truth on a certain topic and someone else may, with equal fervor, toss your post aside as nonsense and superimpose his view on yours. So, in theory and ideally, I agree that your point is valid and an excellent target to aim for. With the denominational bias being what it is, there is little likelihood that we shall see eye to eye on all things biblical. --Hank |
