Bible Note: And hello to you, Don. My name is Hank. Your concerns about allowing personal bias and opinion to have the upper hand are not unfounded, whether it is the Forum that you have in mind or whether it is preaching and teaching in the big world outside the pages of this Forum. Anyone who endeavors to teach the word of God by the written or spoken word in any environment has an enormous responsibility to preach the word, as Paul charged Timothy -- the word of God, not the word and opinion of man. On this Forum, in Bible study classrooms, in the church pulpit, one should teach nothing that cannot be authenticated by Scripture. It is always preferable to be able to preface one's remarks with "The Bible says..." than with "My opinion is..." Bible students want Bible answers, not the half-baked opinion of someone who has more need to learn than qualifications to teach. ..... Welcome, Don. --Hank |
