Bible Note: Dear Dalcent, Thank you for your response. I can understand your feelings and I'm sorry that you felt assailed initially. I'm sure it was not intended as malicious. I also agree that deep theological debate should be open to discussion on this Forum. I think it is based on my Two and One-Half years experience here. However, many times it is stifled and collapsed due to "put-downs" or personal attacks as emotions can run pretty deep on these matters. I'm certainly open to discussing theological issues, but these discussions have to be within the guidelines that the Lockman Foundation has set. Again, many times emotions take charge over constructive discussion and the guidelines get ignored. I think if we keep as our guide the principles in Romans 14, much benefit can be gained. I do look forward to your participation and discussing of issues with you- in the spirit of love (Gal. 5:22). Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
