Bible Note: Colin -- It's good to learn that you have remained at least a reader of SBF. We "old timers" as you dub the regular and long-time users of Study Bible Forum do our best to keep the Forum on track and in accord with the guidelines laid down by the Lockman Foundation. We envisage SBF as being a Q and A of Bible questions and Bible answers and believe that that is the proper scope and interpretation of the terms of usage you will find in the guidelines published on this website. Moreover, as the Lockman Foundation subscribes to the doctrine of sola scriptura, in like manner so do we. And sola scripturaclearly encompasses the idea of the sufficiency of Scripture. It is regrettable that you view as "lousy" treatment the sincere efforts of many of the respondents on this thread to defend "sola scriptura" and keep the Forum focused on the primary purposes for which it was designed and which remain to this day its chief raison d'etre. I fail to see in any of the responses evidence that the questioner was treated unkindly or insultingly. Every good wish and God's grace to you, friend. --Hank |
