and your point?
If we wanted to read the bible, we could have... err..... read the bible.
but thanks so much for spouting some of us at it.
I'll do the same sometime with a chemistry textbook, see how much you enjoy that.

Could you start with a good online source for melting points and other characteristic traits. I'm too lazy to make my way to the library for the Merck index or CRC handbook.

Considering this is the "Christian Discussion" forum, I'm at a loss to understand why someone that doesn't want to discuss Christianity or the bible would bother even looking in here. It's not like he/she posted this in a general discussion area.

Wolf ... we are lucky here. There are some pretty deep thinkers in this corner of the Blue Nowhere.
Gerryh ... because it is a DISCUSSION forum. You know, give and take, exchange of ideas, good debate. Asking why someone is quoting from a bible is not out of line, imho. It would be like me posting something from one of my Laurell K Hamilton books without explanation.
I am not christian, but I find discussion with christians is often most interesting. I am always curious about what people think and why they believe as they do. I don't expect to convert them, nor do I fear being converted, so it makes for some really good conversations. Bit like visiting another culture, to my way of thinking. Never hurts for me to expand my understanding of human nature.

considering the "complaint"in red above, how would you propose one "discuss" quotes from the bible if one did not actually post the quotes to be "discussed"?

Well, Gerryh, not self explanitory to all of us, I fear. I don't understand why anyone would post quotes from a book without some sort of personal comment with them.
But, on the up side, it's allowed you and I have this nice lil chat!

I was raised catholic and have studied the bible ... I just don't buy it.
Agree in principle, Wolf ... spirituality and religion have little to do with one another.
Quoting gerryh
Now gerryh, you don't know me well enough to make that call. Just because I am not a christian does not mean I lack depth or intelligence. How does that go again? "Judge not lest ye be judged"??
Well.... if one is only able to scratch the surface, and does not have the where with all to dig deeper, I can see how a detailed explanation would be nesassary.

I can (as usual, aren't I irritating), see both views on the issue.
Typically, when someone posts an article, quote, or link without adding a comment, it's because it is something that people might find unusual, or that might spark new debate. In the Christian forum however, it's assumed that we're all quite familiar with 'The Book'. Thus, quoting from it without any comment beyond a few bold blurbs here and there, doesn't really serve a lot of purpose. The post didn't make much sense to me either.
On the other hand, it IS a Christian forum. It IS the appropriate place to put such a piece.

Quoting lone wolf
That is very true, and Christ never said that you had to go to Church every Sunday . In fact, he said the opposite. Paraphrasing here...big time....lol..... Jesus basically said that a man that prayed in the privacy of his own home(closet) would be invited into heaven before a man that went to Church every Sunday but did not follow his words the rest of the week.
Because I don't have Church in my life doesn't mean I don't have Christ....
