Bible Note: Steve (srbaegon) -- Perspective is a wonderful thing. Apparently the pressing duties which kept me away from the Forum this afternoon, causing me to miss the lively exchanges on this thread as they unfolded with great rapidity, were a blessed thing :-) ....... My heart is filled with respect and deep admiration for you and the others who did not hesitate to step forward boldly in defense of God's word when it was brought into some question, however minor some viewed it, and however unintentional it may have been on the part of any party concerned to demean holy Scripture. We all of us who use this Forum can learn from this unfortunate incident how reckless it is to play the role of cracker-barrel theologians and post without careful and considered thought our opinions on theological matters unless they are weighed carefully and can be thoroughly substantiated by Scripture. As many of us old-time users have said time and time again, this web site is dedicated to the STUDY of the Bible and is not ever to be considered a garden in which to sow the seeds of doubt about the authority of Scripture or to air uneducated opinions or to promote personal agenda. This afternoon's experiences can and should serve to teach all of us that we cannot continue to post half-baked, ill-formed opinions, theories, and speculations and get by with it. Steve, I thank God for you and others on this Forum who have a high view of the Bible and are willing to defend its absolute authority with fervor. In this you have my unqualfied support. --Hank |
