Subject: Hindering layman from participating |
Bible Note: Following are only a few of the more recent cases. Now I am fairly new to the forum and have taken to heart many of the inspiring and forthright answers and notes rendered and believe me they have helped and in many ways, and others as well, as I am able to convey the thoughts collected on this forum to others. I believe in being harsh when required and appropriate in order to convey a point when correcting and edifying, but when posts can be taken as demeaning, don’t we risk turning some away from searching for the truth in God’s word? I’m a little more persistent than most, but should I have not been, and received answers similar to those posted below, I know I would have shied away from furthering my knowledge in this forum. Now I’m including some of those, knowing full and well, to be expecting the backlash. But I’m doing it because it seems the thing to do, and because you asked. I mean no offense by picking those below, just showing examples. Maybe I’m being too critical and sensitive. If so, please tell me so and forgive me and I’ll not mention it again. But my questions still stand. Like I mentioned in my previous post, we are all not Scholars and some need to be taught truth per Scripture but effectively doing so would not include demeaning replies. I believe that is one of the premises this forum functions on and I’m so thankful it does. WOS What about the Forum "experts" who are not only amateurs but armatures as well? In electricity, an armature is the rotating part of a dynamo. Forum armatures rotate, i.e, go around in circles, all the time. An armature is also defined as the moving part of an electromagnetic device, such as a buzzer or loudspeaker. Forum armatures also buzz and speak loudly. ..... In biology, an armature is a protective covering, such as teeth, claws, thorns, or the shell of a turtle. Forum armatures will bite and claw you if you challenge them, and if you ask them for scriptural proof of their wild musings, they will hide in their shell like a turtle. isn't incredible that there are people calling themselves Christians whose spiritual discernment is so dim and Bible knowledge so limited that they fall for the absurd blunders of theological dunderheads Duh,… I thought everbody knowed heresy was chocolate candy. My daddy he used to buy me a Heresy Bar as a treat for being good, which warn't very often. So she has seen a seven-foot angel? I wonder how she goes about measuring angels I would have thought that an idea like that would be discussed as a philosophy, among those who have no respect for the scriptures. I PASTED THIS FROM YOUR REPLY: God does not "help and try." WHAT A SAD WORLD YOU MUST LIVE IN |
