Subject: Hebrews 6:6 explained |
Bible Note: Dear Cyclist, to thy plea to bear with thee comes forth my plea to bear with me! Your point is indeed valid and well taken. It is the bane of an unsupervised forum that many repetitious questions and correspondingly repetitious responses are sadly the norm and are by and large practically unavoidable. To those of us who have been active on the forum since it was in swaddling clothes, it is no mean challenge to us to keep in mind that many topics that have become old hat to us are untrodden ground to newer users such as you...... The Search apparatus, while helpful, is no panacea: many new users don't use it, possibly because they don't see it or, seeing it, don't know how to use it. And even if they do use it, they may not find in the now vast archives exactly what they are seeking so they pose an additional question on the same topic. It is admittedly easier to type a question than search for an answer and so, human nature being what it is, one tends to take the path of least resistance. So the problem of repetition is becoming ever more in the vanguard as this forum continues to pile post upon post by an ever-increasing number of users. It was not so in the early days of the forum, of course; and I cannot possibly envisage the extent of this problem or what solution can be afforded in the days ahead if the forum continues to grow at the rate it has grown during its first year of existence..... Well, Cyclist, I didn't intend to turn what was meant as a brief response into a dissertation on forum growing pains! Suffice it to say that your post serves to remind me and, I trust, other veteran forum users, to deal more patiently and civilly with ardent new users such as you; and to extend a warm hand of welcome and offer of assistance in lieu of a pointing finger of impolite direction. Your scriptural references are most apt. God's blessings to you in your walk and "ride" with the Lord, Cyclist! --Hank |
