I'm not sure what the full story is, but I hope that the experience doesn't deter you from fellowship here, Melody. I appreciate your sentiment in posting here, and I hope also that you will not meet with too many future altercations. Very often, narrow mindedness has a way with even the "like-minded".

I'm not the least bit surprised. The Bible Study chat is not a whole lot different than the bible forums. I've regularly heard various complaints about the room and how people get treated there. Sadly the room seems to have a lot of people who are full of pride in their biblical knowledge and are only there to correct the rest of us, as opposed to people discussing the bible.

Great point to be made! I remember the first real light bulb after finding Christ and beginning to study His Word. I had begun attending the Thursday night Bible Study at my church and our Pastor started a new study on Phillippians. (prior to that we worked with The Wired Word, mostly) We had reached chapter 4, I think, when someone made a comment and Pastor Bob responded with "you have to remember, we know the rest of the story. When this was written they didn't." Put a HUGE new spin on everything for me. Rather a "duh" moment, really, but I hadn't ever thought of it like that.
He also made me realize how little we know about Mary, Mother of Jesus. And why do we know so little about Jesus' life as a small boy? There are lots of areas missing, details we are not privy to. I'm not saying it makes the stories any less true, just that the details aren't there and so we have to rely on faith that what we are told is enough.
