Over the years our Christian chat I've noticed repetitive and almost pointless Bible discussions like replacement theology or even the dumb stuff like what color was Jesus beard and the countless Sabbath discussions by faith we know that the Sabbath is and forever established not according to the law of Moses but according to the tcreation chapter butt it's always the same thing over and over


We could start a new thread on the use of BUT as opposed to BUTT..... ;) HAHA yeah I know..............!
 
Yeah, but these aren't theological issues. And we keep missing the cool stuff. Why not talk about how David was able to last so many years running away from, first Saul, and then Absalom, without giving up, without stopping his trust in God, without getting angry with God? (Which he did, but repented of all in the same Psalm.) How in the world did Peter and Paul ever get along? How did they manage to come together without having huge blowouts, like we do on here all the time? How do we not lust even in our minds? What is Revelation about without the mindset of a theory going into reading it? Were there really Nephilims in the Promised Land, or was that just intentionally lying to make sure everyone was on board with not starting war? Why in the world were there so many nations in that wilderness? It was lousy land, so what did all those people do?

There are so many questions I'd love to talk about on here, but it gets all pushed to the side by the constant -- Saturday, not Sunday, 20,000 versions of End Times debates, and 200,000 post about absolutely nothing but clickbait.
You have a half dozen threads woven into this one post. Right off the bat, I thought two of the three points the OP made WERE theological issues, replacement theology (whatever that is) and whether or not Sabbath ought to be Sunday or not. It seemed to me what he was trying to do was make a statement about whether or not the Sabbath is on Sunday.

Yes, David was a remarkable person.
Do you really think Paul and Peter got along?
How do we resist lust in our minds? You know that answer to that. We just keep working at it till we’ve conquered it.
As for Revelation, I wouldn’t attempt to interpret the entire book, but there are bits and pieces within which I have found helpful.
The Nephilims might be a curious group of people, but they aren’t mentioned too much in the Bible, so I don’t think they are major players.
I don’t know what the people in the wilderness did.
Nothing really gets pushed aside – we are free to start whatever threads we wish. People have different interests. I don’t have the patience to read long posts, so I don’t even enter into a lot of the discussions you refer to.
I looked up “clickbait” on the internet. It didn’t seem to match your definition. Perhaps you are referring to threads intended to start arguments. I always enjoy expressing an opinion, no matter what the OP’s motive is for starting a thread, and then I check back later to see if anyone has responded to my post.
 
I say we should debate on something we all agree upon. It's never been done before.
Just don't know how to go about it.

Example: I agree but not because you agree or that we all agree I agree differently. Maybe I agree in the first degree.


Time for potters medication.......did Mary have a beard.....remember we are all butt dust.:rolleyes:
 
I know what the OP is talking about.

Experiencing G-d is more valuable for growth than talking about experiencing G-d.
 
To be or not to be, we ask ourselves,
but the bigger question is about Santa and his elves.
Does he fly around the globe, or glide flat on skies,
should we pray laid down, or standing, or knees.

Its found in King James and no other place,
but of thees, thoughs and thys my bible has no trace.
No worry because grace covers all,
just don't mention hyper grace, that is all.

Please feel free to add a verse or more,
before this little ditty becomes a chore.
Just don't mention the age of the earth,
or the age of Jesus at his birth! :D

If we discuss experiencing G-d we can hardly get an argument.
Keeping a running communication with G-d between my heart and Him
keeps me close to Him. We find Him in quiet, peace, recalling the verse
"be still and know that I am G-d". Words of knowledge, wisdom, direction,
seem to be frequent and always on time.

I'm just tired of seeing an endless paradox in each thread this was meant more towards humor by reflecting upon the ironic repetitive patter

If a topic can be brought up only once, what topics are left to discuss?

If a topic can be brought up more than once, how often should it be permissible to bring it up?

If a topic can't be brought up more than once, or if it can only be brought up after again after a designated period of time, should it be permissible to contribute to a thread with a topic that hasn't been discussed in many months or maybe in years? This does happen. In some instances, the person who started the thread isn't even a member of CC anymore.

Some improvements for this board if we did only stick with one thread per topic for a designated amount of time:

-- We wouldn't have a bunch of threads that pretty much say, "I know this is something still being discussed, but what I think is so much more important, I'm starting my own thread."

-- A bevy of click baiters sensationalizing the same topic specifically to see how long they can string everyone along with their absurdity.

-- People would actually have to think of something to post other than their pet theory.

And dare I hope?

-- Maybe, just maybe, more questions about what people are studying in their Bible but just don't completely understand. It might even cause (gulp) impromptu Bible studies on The Bible Discussion Forum.

Whoa!

And, to be clear, I don't think this is one of those things the Admin and mods should tackle. I keep hoping we users could do this all on our own by simply ignoring topic #20 of the same thing day in and day out. Or even topic #3.

I suppose there are only so many things to talk about in a Bible discussion forum, and people tend to be set in their ways. We all think we are right. I am no different.
 
or maybe I should start a forum called " Did Jesus wear a tallit ?

TALLIT?

There you go using words us country boys don't understand.
Now I've got to go upstairs and get the dictionary before I can debate you.

Tallit is country.

"I just landed a 6 pound smallmouth."

"How Tallit is?"
