Bible Note: Mark, there are few people on this forum I have truly gained respect for. Not just because of their intellectual knowledge of scripture, but mostly because they also exemplify a biblical knowledge, a real understanding of what the word of God is all about. They understand it and are trying to live it. At least what I see in their post. To me you are one of those people. There are those on this forum I pray for and in your case I think God for. Having said that, I have to say your post to Jeff is somewhat concerning and contradicting. I only point this out because of the double standards I see constantly applied on this forum and I hate to see you caught up in it. The very things you say to Jeff you are doing yourself. Some of the things you accuse Jeff of you ignore in others in the same thread. You say Jeff "passed judgment on an answer given, that was not given" to him. Are you not doing the same thing brother? How many times has this been done before on this forum and nothing said about it? Including this thread! You say "it would be more fairminded to not open that door?" Yet you open the door yourself and leave the others closed. Was it fair-minded for someone else to open a door as you say, ask a provocative question and you leave that door closed? What's up with that? Why was that not addressed if your going to address Jeff's? What are others to think when they see you question Jeff and you let others who's sole purpose was to provoke slide without question or redirection? Does someone have to state they felt disrespected before someone comes to their aid? If so then shouldn't this practice be applied to everyone on the forum? (Because it's not!) SEE THIS THREAD FOR EXAMPLE! You say "Please keep in mind that we are here to build up, and not to tear down." Can I be so bold as to ask, who are we to build up? Is it only a select few that we agree with or should we include those we disagree with? Steve |
