Bible Question: This Study Bible Forum has now be in operation three months. Is it living up to its name and aim? What do you like about it? What do you dislike? How can it be improved? Has it become too much of a debate and too less a true source of Bible study and learning? What are some of its shortcomings and faults? How can these be corrected? Are you satisfied with it thus far, or would you like to see changes -- and what changes? --Hank |
Bible Answer: Hank, You asked so here goes. The rating system has me about upset. I asked a legitimate question and had received some answers; most left me looking for more. A person responded that offered another approach. This approach did not agree with someone, even though the approach is an accepted possible biblical scenario to a question that has been debated for years. Someone now has red flagged all the updates of that person. Which to me is absurd. I think we should be able to have the identity of who voted. Also I think this forum should not be used as an advice column. Too much of the advice that has been given in this forum is ungodly and straight from the pit of hell. Third problem I have is with the frequent responders that present themselves as Biblical scholars. When a tough or difficult question is asked they either do not response to it or more often they wait until someone else does, then they very piously, but oh so graciously tear apart that persons answer. It has all the appearances of an effort to esteem themselves above others by making others look like fools. |
