Bible Note: Hello Mark, Not to play on words but I did not say that nightjays post was treated with disrespect. I said that it was not treated with respect. I believe that many post on this forum are not treated with the same loving attention and consideration as others. The trend seems to hold true for those post that are less articulate and where the poster may have obvious, limited knowledge of scripture. My opinion is that one can show little or no respect for something without necessarily being outright disrespectufl. Your are right that nightjay did not complain, but did you notice that he did not respond at all. Why? We can not speak for him, but might it be that he felt his question was not taken seriously or that he was made to feel his question was inappropriate or even stupid???? I did caution nightjay to "get used" to being treated this way because it is abasolutely true that this is a continuing issue on the forum. And yes, people can change, but I have not seen evidence of it here. As far as not naming names for Kalos I can only respond with a question of my own. In this same thread Doc wrote: "Someone will probably try to give you a simple, trite answer -- we have people who specialize in that here" Yet you nor Kalos asked Doc to name names nor did you attempt to call him on it or question him at all. Why? Finally, you asked, "who profits from my comments." Possibly no one. Possibly the person who feels like their limited knowledge of the bible does not mean that they are in the wrong place and can not be treated with respect and love on this forum. Am I wrong? Possibly. But I hope my efforts are not in vein. |
