Subject: Possible Lockman Forum Improvements #2 |
Bible Note: Dear Tim Moran (may I just call you Tim?), I can definately appreciate your point that many issues discussed on this forum are very complex, and need to be explored in depth. At the same time, you mentioned that it is important for "both parties" to be involved ("agree"). This is exactly the point that I'm trying to get across. When a new person to our forum posts a question, and then 40 people respond, I think that is not something that the original poster would have agreed to (as evidenced by the fact that they no longer choose to be involved at all). One of the things that I really admire about Jesus was that He was able to give people exactly the answers that they needed to hear. He didn't leave out critical information, but He also didn't answer each question with every detail that the scriptures contained on the subject. When the rich, young ruler asked what was required to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, Jesus gave a relatively simple answer to him. If a new person asked that question on this forum, I guarantee that the responses would not be anywhere near as limited. Obviously, Jesus had the advantage of being able to know the hearts of the people He interacted with. However, I still think that we could as Christians, at least try to follow His example a little more closely. My suggestion is only my humble attempt to do this. |
