Bible Note: Tim: It is good to see you again. I heard you say something about parting ways and I was afraid we had lost you. Your enthusiasm is refreshing, and I hope you will stay around to inspire us with it. The men on this forum are Bible scholars and they can be rough if they think you are straying even an inch from the truth. So you have to be very careful. Search the Scriptures before you write, and as the note says, review what you are saying to be sure it is Bible based. Better to ask a question rather than to make a bold statement without double-checking, because they will catch you. It also helps to be humble and to simply admit when you made a mistake. Now I am sure you have gotten the point about lifting Jesus up. There's been a lot of good points made in this thread. If we reviewed them, we would all be wiser. It hurts to see Christians calling each other names, as has been done here, and I hope that part is over. I hope we can make up and move on. As you have said, there is work to be done. We should be presenting Jesus to the world and spreading the good news. Perhaps this forum serves to sharpen the message so we can tell it straight when we go. God bless you. |
