Bible Note: Thank you, Johnny, my friend of the Phillippines. I appreciate that English is not your mother tongue and applaud your spirit and tenacity in sticking with this Forum for so long a time in spite of the language handicap. Please take solace that most of us whose native tongue IS English also struggle to manage the English and get it to say what we want to say. A few minutes spent sampling the daily wares of the Forum will convince you that some of us fail! Oh, incidentally, I can see that your ability to write standard English as improved a great deal since we met on this Forum some three years ago. Keep trucking! ..... Back to the topic of supporting posts with references from God's word. It makes no sense to call this a StudyBibleForum and permit post after post from any user who refuses to back up anything he says with Scripture. To do so is against the rules that the Lockman Foundation has laid down. I firmly believe that users who post nothing but their own opinions day after day should not be allowed continued access to do so. Anyone on this Bible forum who thinks his words are more important than God's should move on to a web site that doesn't care one way or the other what is posted on it. Johnny, I know that you believe with all your heart, along with me, the words of Hebrews 4:12: "For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edge sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart." My words don't hold a candle to God's words, and neither do the words of the personal opinion pushers on this Forum who resist the rules of providing exact quotations from Scripture to back up their musings. Why don't we call them to task to support their views with Scripture or stop posting until they are willing to comply with Forum guidelines? Good to hear from you, Johnny. May God bless. --Hank |
