Bible Note: Hank: Your observations are right on. Thanks for sharing them with us. I get so tired of all these "Christian urban legends" as someone has called them, mythical beliefs about what the Bible says. An example of these is that God loves the sinner but hates the sin. The Bible never says that God loves the sinner but hates the sin. And why are people so easily misled? Because they are not even familiar with the content of the Bible. And that's because they haven't been READING the Bible. It's sad but true: Often the people with the loudest opinions are those who are most ignorant of the Bible's content and how to interpet it properly. On this forum it would be refreshing to see people start with what the Bible SAYS, then go on to learn what it MEANS by what it SAYS. And save the sermonizing until last. Moreover, when someone's question doesn't call for a sermon, don't give one. Stick to the question and answer it with the Bible. When someone asks a question about the face value meaning of a verse, don't start spiritualizing what it says. First, answer the question. Again, this forum exists to ask and answer questions about the Bible -- period. It's not a platform for the ego. It isn't a soapbox or a pulpit. Peace, kalos |
