Bible Question: I know that this is an open forum, and that the people here are using the best godly wisdom and advice possible. But how come there is not an overseer of this forum? I have asked some questions and some of the feedback I have gotten, and some of the comments that have went forth if I wasn't a 20 year born again believer and I do mean practicing the truths daily (I have not arrived), I don't know where I would be with some of the feedback that came back to me. |
Bible Answer: jbw: I'm sorry that you have found some of the responses to your questions wanting. Regardless of the source of comment and opinion about Scripure, nothing comes before Scripture itself. Thus the prudent and wise course is to observe what is being said, interpret what it may mean, and decide whether it is consistent with biblical doctrine. But one can't do this unless he is well versed in Scripture. The Christian who is short on Bible knowledge is much more likely to fall prey to the bad influence of false teaching than one who takes 2 Timothy 2:15 and 1 Peter 3:15 seriously and goes to work to do something about his lack of knowledge of God's word. If I have learned nothing else from my years as an active user on this forum, I have learned how vital it is to know what the Bible says and to know what the Bible does not say! Perhaps your experiences on the forum will become more profitable to you as time goes by. --Hank |
