Subject: another hypothetical, applied ethics |
Bible Note: Chynna, your question and this one, both hypothetical, are unanswerable by Scripture. This is a Bible study forum; it is not a self-revelatory psychological excursion. You mention that some people are too quick to judge. It is not being judgmental to oppose the use of hypothetical questions on this forum that have not a chance to be answered except by opinion and speculation; the Bible certainly doesn't deal in hypotheticals and idle speculations, and on this Bible study forum neither should we. Review the terms of use as well as the four statements you agree to before making any post, whether question, answer or note. You will find that in the very first statement, you are agreeing that your post is biblically based. Hypothetical questions about impossible situations are not, by any measure, biblically based. That is the basis on which I objected to your hypothetical question originally and it is the basis on which I object to it still. Before you go about insinuating that anyone who disagrees with you is being judgmental, please look to and carefully weigh the basis of his disagreement. --Hank |
