Praise for the BB

Hey, Bob, on this we TOTALLY agree!

I find that I am forced to study when I discuss things that that is ultimately good...

I still think you are crazy about a few things...but I am sure you feel the same way about me.

God bless!

I have always said if all saved people agreed with each other about all doctrines there would be much less bible study.

It appears that we tend to think- All the world is wrong save me and thee,
and even thee art wrong most of the time.:laugh:

 

Great thread Bro. Bob! Not all of us can agree or interpret the scriptures the same. We all need to be in the Word. I think being on this board makes all of us question, visit scripture, think and rethink things....it keeps us focused. The BB is a learning experience every day. I enjoy being on here and I enjoy reading everyone's thoughts.
Great thread! It's nice to read praise here!!! raise:
:thumbs: :Fish:

 

I am new here but I also am liking the BB very much - Great fellowhship & debate

I still have a lot to learn, as you know from some of my posts :smilewinkgrin:

Thank you for being part of it raise:

 

I am one who doesn't believe in one interpritation of scripture. I believe the word is a living word by divine design. I realize there are wrong views of scripture but also know there are at times more than one right view.

I have agreed with many of your beliefs, respected others and disagreed with a few. Thanks for staying and sharing your beliefs, they have helped me grow stronger in the few days I have been here.

Iron sharpens Iron and I too am preaching from a renewed perspective because of this board.

 

I hope I am not being to picky here but as I see it, there is a difference between interpretation and application.

FOr instance, thou shalt not steal only has one interpretation but can be applied to shoplifting, fraud and a host of other forms of theft.

 

Brother Bob,

You are so right -- Discussions on the BB have sent me digging more than once. I love that feeling.

 

I heartily join with Brother Bob and all of you. My own beliefs are stronger, having tested them against articulate proponents of other views.

 

LOL, :thumbs:

Ok, I guess I left that too open ended. I mean like the calvinist and fundamentalist here read the same passage but draw different understanding. Some say we sinned (past tense) some say we are sinners (present tense). I know I'm not perfect and my thoughts are not always pure.

For these reasons I try not to assume any concrete conclusions because I believe it leads to spiritual blindness and a one track mind. This was clearly a problem with the Pharisees. The law said don't work on the sabbath but Jesus said give the guy a break, he hasn't walked in 38 years.

You ever preach a verse oneway this time and a completely different way later on? I have, and I believe they were both correct. It is the living aspect of GODS word.

 

The BB has been a blessing to me also.

My beliefs have been fine tuned and strengthened in some important areas. In other non-essential areas like future events, I realize that much of what I heard down through the years as fact is probably just speculation.
