No work of men is God's word. Only the Bible is and then perhaps only in the original languages for all else is man's best attempts at transliteration an dworse commentary on transliterations. Please, have high confidence in your succinct commentaries. Many are gems. But my opinion is not God's Word or an on-line Bible ministry.I have several trusted sources on-line and written. I can humble myself and go to those who are Bible scholars. My mind is thirsty to study God's Word and that includes learning from those who have been through seminary and know more about God's word than I do.Trusted teachers. My discernment comes in when I weed out the false doctrine from what is the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most anyone can use links do a cut and paste, even I can do that, but it is the mind's eye that I appreciate and that adds value to a posted subject. I'll not try to encourage further.

Yes, there are a couple of good true Bible references and studies. But a person needs to be cautious. Many are false doctrine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I prefer the Bible as well and everyone else should. But sometimes I need an answer to a certain passage. Got Questions is only one of several sources I go to.

I am always ready to learn even from a gifted scholar of the Bible or ministry. You may not have used my name but most people know I use got questions on Worthy so of course I would be included in your statement of: " I find that those that use Got Questions almost exclusively know very little about Scripture and are not inclined to read the Bible and decide anything for themselves." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is all more information with which we can make our judgment, to know what answer we are going to keep. And I know, if the cause is too hard for me, I can take it to Him, and He will hear it.

Never thought about it. It was a blanket statement since many people use that site on several different forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may not always agree with them but they are a great resource. However people do need to get out of the online virtual church as Yowm said above and get out and get into a physical local body of believers. And I know that there are some in the forums that just need to get into the Bible. I find is sad that many times you'll have someone post something that sounds spiritual yet they don't know scripture to lean on. Just my 2 cents. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
