Bible Question:
How many answers and notes would you consider to be spending to much time on the forum? Is there such a thing as spending to much time on the forum? What yould you feel is to much time in hours per day, week or month. Thank you. justme |
Bible Answer: Hi, justme. Greetings from Ozarka and I do hope you're doing well. Of time on the Forum, how much is too much? I don't know really. It depends on a number of factors I think. Things like motive for instance. If a Forum registrant uses the Forum to show the world how smart he is, or thinks he is, one post a year is too much. The Forum doesn't need jokers like that. And it doesn't need contributors who have no higher motives than to bombard the Forum with posts that push denominational bias and personal opinion, or posts that have no other objective than to engage others in heated debates. These kinds of folks hit their "too much" threshold very quickly! ..... But for the sincere Bible student who wants to learn the truth of God's word and teach it to others, "too much" really doesn't apply. His time on the Forum is governed only by the discretionary time he has available and by how much of it he is willing to spend in Forum activities. A carefully thought out and researched post requires far more time to prepare than it does merely to engage in the mechanics of typing and posting it. I incline to agree with Prayon's view that participation in this Forum is tantamount to serious Bible study if it is done right, meaning this: Answers and notes about Bible topics that have not been thoroughly researched should never be posted. And to research them well demands Bible study of the first water. It's an enormous responsibility we have to be biblically correct. It is irresponsible to spout out opinions about theological matters when we don't know what we're talking about and, even worse, when we don't know what God says on the subject. ...... Yours is an interesting question, justme, but one that has no universal answer. How much time is enough, or how much is too much to spend on the Forum is, I believe, an individual matter for each one to determine for himself, seeking divine guidance through prayer. --Hank |
