Bible Note: Dear Hank I apologize for not writing this sooner but some things needed my attention earlier today. It is with a very heavy heart I read of your decision to pullout of this forum. I too agree with Charis that we all desire your rapid return. I also totally agree with the rest of what Charis said. I was convicted reading it and have repented. Let me add as I have said before to the forum I fail to understand why everything has to turn into a “I’m right your wrong debate.” Can’t we learn to discuss issues. There has been some very interesting "thoughts" brought up in this forum, that I for one would have enjoyed exploring. I have a desire to learn the reasoning that formulated those ideas. I want to know and understand why people believe things different than I do. Yet in a heartbreaking number of cases the discussion immediately digresses into a “your wrong” type of confrontation. Why does somebody have to be right or wrong if they see something in the Scripture in a way different from another? I think it is fair to ask for a clarification of a point or how they handle scripture that to our reading may appear to be in conflict with their position. The problems comes when we tell others they are wrong, or infer they are lost and condemned to hell. I think we all have an opportunity to learn from this forum if nothing else than how to have a peaceful idea interchange with fellow believers. I pray Hank will reconsider his position and return to the forum. If nothing else to keep me straight and JVH0212 from answering all the questions :-). Just kidding!!!! |
