Bible Note: Dear TSchwab19, Greetings, and welcome to the Forum! You are correct that Christ died for our sins and that all who believe shall be saved. It is also true that most participants have been guilty of 'microscopic scrutiny' of their brother, as well as very thin skins when disagreed with. But, to a certain degree, there would be no forum without it! We, as a Forum, are now 'teething' on this issue, attempting to find the balance of 'forum correctness' (f.c.?) in order to make this a true Study Bible Fellowship. Please bear with us, and please contribute your thoughts and questions. In Christ Jesus, charis |
