Subject: do you need to fasten |
Bible Note: Hello atterbury, I appreciate your repy. As a long-time user of the Forum, there was no put down intended to Bill, but rather a calling for an account of what he posted. I always address the poster by their screen name- which is a standard form of acknowledgment and greeting. Furthermore, I sign off quoting Eph. 4:15 as that is my hearts' intent:-) His answer had no scriptural basis and was just... a guess. As this is a public forum ALL of our posts are subject to scrutiny by others- myself included. When we register to and post on this Forum, there's an implied consent to it's Terms of Use (TOU). Specifically: To adhere to StudyBibleForum's intended purpose, please read the following before submitting a post: 1. This post is biblically based and whenever possible, I have included Bible references to support it. 2. This post is not intended as a personal attack on the authority of the Bible or on other users of this forum. 3. This post is not submitted as an effort to foster divisiveness, ill-will, dissension or other disruptions to this forum. 4. I have carefully proofread my post and believe it represents my best efforts. That being said- and I say this under due consideration- I'd rather have a "new Christian" discouraged than lead into error by a misunderstanding of a major doctrine such as Soteriology. I hope that better clarifies where I'm coming from and why I responded as I did. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
