Bible Note: Thanks, Bub, for your response. Perhaps it's not an unfair question to ask of you: Since your views generally tend to be quite different from the forum consensus on a number of important issues, what motivates you to post on this forum? Are you possibly seeking approbration for your views, testing them, seeking converts to them, or merely passing time and amusing yourself with the debates that your posts have sparked? Whatever your reasons, you have selected an improprer web site for your indulgences. In case you have not informed yourself of the purpose and scope of this forum, please do so, or if you have, please refresh your memory by reading them once more. Please respect the Lockman Foundation enough to be guided by their standards of usage. And there is another concern that bothers me deeply. I've been a Christian for over half a century; I am grounded in the faith; and it doesn't matter to me personally what you post, because I don't give serious ear to false teaching anyway. But it does bother me that there are new Christians who read this forum, and honest seekers who do, and what you are providing by your lone-ranger brand of mixed-up theology is more than enough to confuse minds that are not firmly grounded in the faith. If you wish to believe as you do, do it, but don't smear your beliefs all over this BibleStudyForum in violation of the standards of content prescribed by the sponsor. If you persist you can, should, and likely will, lose your privilege to continue as an active user. I wish you well and pray that you will come to a saving knowledge of the truth in Christ Jesus. --Hank |
