Bible Note: BradK I probably miss a lot in life but I have been following the recent discussions. My thoughts, fringe groups continue to exist only when "non fringe groups" fail to provide sufficient evidence that shows their fringe ideas are groundless and are without merit. Squelching them does not resolve the issue, in fact just the opposite. In many people's mind they question why this so called “fringe group” was squelched instead of dealt with. Now I agree the Study Bible Forum was not intended to be a soapbox to be used by people to forward an agenda contrary to orthodox Christianity or to bring in to question true Christianity or the Holy Scriptures. I also agree there are some differences in doctrine so volatile that they can't be discuss civilly and therefore need to be avoided on this forum. But questions such as why did the majority of translators translated this verse this way and that verse that way even though it might be "fringe" to you should be addressed. I personally learned a lot from a recent discussion which I am sure fell into the "fringe" category, in which Tim's response to me on aspects of Greek I had long forgotten or managed to avoid learning in the first place made me appreciate a understanding of scripture I had long questioned. |
