The only way we can get true Biblical posts that are truly Bible studies is if we write them. We can say its a good idea all we want but are we willing to write them outselves. We are to spread the Gospel nit just talk about spreading the Gospel.

Not attacking anyone with this. Its just my own thinking.

I personally have started a number of just those kinds of threads

and you know what?

they fade

seems people prefer to lob grenades

so, put another notch in the ole belt (meaning everyone)...or gird up the loins LOL!


PARTICIPATION and either reporting or ignoring the flamers when they try to derail, because if they are ignored in the threads they start, they will come alooking for us in the good threads

that's happened too

I'm 100% all for good Bible discussion..one of my very favorite things :eek:

Well i am in the process of writing a couple threads. One on incorrectly using Gods Word (which i know will cause a debate because its on using verses as "stand alone"). I am going to write one on what the gospel truly is and one on faith. I like to write them out first before i post them so i can do it correctly allowing God to speak thru me.

Debate is good. As long as we discuss what we are a group believe about a passage.

It is when we start saying this is what others believes.. that gets things heated..because then they just start looking like vendetta against a group of people.

If we are truly sick of it, everyone needs to start reporting, not just the same few.. Otherwise, it can be seen as an EG/Lauren against another group. We have to stand firm.. everyone say they are sick of it..

Since I see this thread is on this subject, I will interject what I think is an excellent example of how to respond. I wrote a post and "Stunned By Grace" doesn't understand - so he/she? :) writes back and in a very clear way asks for further clarification. Too many times I (maybe others too? :) assume I know what others mean by phrases or words, when they may mean something much different.:

Response by "Stunned by grace"
We should work on this! It's very confusing, isn't it?
I believe it is impossible to sin outwardly without having first sinned inwardly. It is what comes from inside of us that defiles us.
If the inside of the cup is clean, the outside just will be as well.

When you say "take your eyes off Jesus", what do you mean?
GM by the way! :)

even if we disagree, as long as we do this, and not assume when know what another thinks, Or can at least be humble enough to admit we erred if the person we misunderstood shows us,, Things would be so much better..
