Subject: People want answers! |
Bible Note: If I may be so bold.... Perhaps this is not the place to find definitive answers. This forum encourages the exchange of ideas - good, bad, foolish, insightful, even evil perhaps. As soon as you have a panel of "experts", you kill the interchange of ideas. Once the "expert" provides the "correct" interpretation, the dialog ends. No thanks. I have learned from most of the old hands around here. And I have disagreed with every one of them at one time or another. I don't consider any of them - or all of them - qualified to answer every question. I'm sure they all agree that I'm not qualified either. I promise that if the Holy Spirit starts posting answers here, I'll re-think my position. Anyone care to stake that claim? Worse, your proposal relieves all participants of the obligation to be good Bereans and to question every word posted here. The Lockman Foundation does a decent job of sending most of the kooks and whackos packing. They warn visitors that the opinions expressed may not represent commonly-held views. But iron doesn't sharpen iron without friction, heat, and sparks. You can't do serious Bible study by asking questions and passively accepting the answers. The Bereans didn't; I won't either. I commend the Lockman Foundation for having the courage and the faith to make this forum available. You folks are asking for a different web site with a different purpose.
