Bible Note: Nolan: I agree with all that you said in your post, but especially this: "If a person has Scripture to back it up, then great! However, if a person just "asserts" their views with no Scriptural basis, then they are only causing trouble on the Forum and creating divisiveness." And what is just as bad as no Scripture to back it up is this: No relevant scripture to back up what the other person asserts. Many times here on the forum I've seen people quote a dozen or more verses. But often 1) the verses had nothing whatever to do with the topic at hand; 2) the poster often had no idea of the meaning of the words used in the verses; and 3) the verses proved nothing. As far as growing tired of defending myself over and over again, keep in mind: 1) When they make an assertion, it is not my job to refute it. It's their job to defend it. Grace to you, --JVH0212 |
