Bible Note: Dear Armand, If Lockman uses a mechanism for forum administration, it is not something that they disclose. Given that they decisively deal with troublemakers pretty regularly, one might rightly assume that they have a way to monitor and intervene as they see fit. Of course, given the Terms of Use, and other indicators, we all promise to support Lockman's objectives for the forum. Consequently, we have a duty incumbent on each one of us to stay the course. (James 5:12) Scripture gives us a congregational venue in which to function: the church. This venue is quite different. We do not have elders and leaders per se, for our words are publicly exposed "in the marketplace" as it were. What we do have is enduring text. Matthew 12:36-37 should always weigh heavily upon us. In Him, Doc |
