hi Craig,
As a new member here, I certainly appreciated reading the message. I feel that we all have something to contribute to our path to Christ and I hope that we all will humbly do so.
yours,

It is posts like this that help sooth the aching in me when I realize that all I can do is sit back and read. So many times I have stopped myself from responding to a thread, only to be glad I didn't when I found out I was wrong.
I have such a desire to share, but find myself falling way short when it comes to my knowledge here. It can be frustrating at times. I will continue to read and read, understanding that it will take more time than I like.
I feel very privileged to be here and I pray for patience for myself, and anyone else in my shoes.
:)

I guess it's fitting that I should put my two cents in,since I may have been it's source of inspiration ;D
I was one who fit the topic of this post as have many who have come and gone.The funny thing is,I didn't realize it until I began rereading my post,and then I reread the statement I was supposed to read before joining :o
After seeing that I was way off from the intent of the forum I took a step back and remain back even now,only posting as I feel inspired or just to say hi.
I absolutely have no problem with the forum as it stands.There are other forums out here where you can post every thought and feeling that comes to your head and all are free to knock yourself out there.This site is designed to center around the teaching of the word of God as revealed by one man Ray.
I respect this and see no problem with it.I'm seeing new people join now and see why it is important to maintain this integrity.Every new person and seasoned person deserves the opportunity to share and grow in this newfound knowledge without the leaven of everybody's opinion,which is endless and usually yields no fruit.
Is it restrictive? Yes .But so what.Ultimately it is fair because it maintains the purpose and integrity of the forum,which is clearly stated before anyone decides to join.
So I'm still here yall :D

Great posts everyone!
We attempt to have this centered on the articles presented on Bible Truths because that is what piqued the interest of 99% of the people who ultimately join the Forum, it was not my opinions or the opinions of anyone else that brought them here, keeping the integrity of the purpose of the Forum may seem restrictive at times but with all the wealth of information provided by Ray we should be able to explore many wonderful Truths together and witness as to the changes in our lives as we grow in the Lord.
Membership does not have to be an either/or thing, like sonophone stated if someone feels the need to debate a subject or just explore what is going on elsewhere they are still welcome to fellowship here. Yes, we must always keep in mind the guests and newer members who might be confused by conflicting, unscriptural opinions especially if the debates take a turn south and become ugly.
Thanks for all the positive responses!
His Peace to you,
Joe
