Subject: Romans in the light of Jonah does it say |
Bible Note: If as you say this discussion has been going on since 2001, why has that happened with the divisiveness you claim has taken place. Why can’t someone present their expository position of the passage without being told due to improper scholarship their position is wrong? I’m seeing people being shut out from participating because they don’t hold the same theological bent that the people that are presently the most outspoken on this forum have. It seems the idea of the Studybible forum has become a place of debate, where the goal is to win. I don’t believe that was Lockman’s purpose for starting and supporting this forum. Their stated purpose is and I quote, “The StudyBibleForum.com is built from the "Bible" up. A synergetic resource built to enhance and deepen your study of God's Word. It's like a free study Bible with an unlimited margin, that contained helpful verse notes, and was continually expanding. A resource where you can access and/or contribute to a dynamic repository of verse notes. It's not a discussion group or topical survey, but an ever growing "expository repository" that gives the layman and scholar an opportunity to share truth and contribute wisdom.” And while I agree the StudyBible Forum should not be allowed to become a discussion group or topical survey. There is often more than one position seen in the exposition of a passage and EACH of those positions must be allowed TO BE FAIRLY AND EQUALLY presented. That is unless we want to declare the StudyBible as a expository of “x” theology, which seems likely to happen unless other expository views are allowed to be presented and fairly considered. |
