According to the Internet Archive Wayback Machine, the first listing for Bibletruths was April 5, 2001. The first time a link for a discussion forum appeared was March 21, 2004 but it was founded Feb. 10, 2004 and had 118 members.

Sorry, but I could not access who they were.
Maybe someone who was a member back then could.



Blessings,

I cannot remember but I know I once had another moniker but cannot remember what it was before I chose "beloved"

I also remember the forum closing and re=signing in a couple times. There was a short time where google was considered but then you had to deal with advertisers. Yuk.

Then came the great "Simple Machine" see top of your page...then life was good.

Regarding members wher abouts. Remember we are not pew warmers. This is a journey and not a destination. We are told that we are to go on to maturity. In spirit we are all one.


(Eph 4:1)  I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
(Eph 4:2)  With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
(Eph 4:3)  Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
(Eph 4:4)  There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
(Eph 4:5)  One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
(Eph 4:6)  One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
(Eph 4:7)  But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.


Thanks Samson for the refreshening and rememberance  ;)

At any rate, Dennis can give the exact history sequence since he is the man behind the scenes

QuoteThis is a journey and not a destination. We are told that we are to go on to maturity.


1Pe 4:17  For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

1Pe 2:2  As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

Gal 4:1  Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
Gal 4:2  But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
Gal 4:3  Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:

Heb 5:12  For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
Heb 5:13  For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
Heb 5:14  But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Heb 6:1  Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
Heb 6:2  Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.


Heb 6:3  And this will we do, if God permit.




Peace...Mark

Also, let us not give the current members a false sense in thinking that those who are no longer with us are spiritually mature nor the ones who are still among us.
Mat 7:16  Ye shall know them by their fruits.
Many leave for many reasons.
Many stay for many reasons.

All so very true Antaiwan. If any one of us is to reach Spiritual maturity,it will only be because of Gods will,it is not of something that we ourselves can bring about.

Heb 6:3  And this will we do, if God permit.
