The Whole Jesus Thing

Welcome to EvC cctman!I hope you have been reading over a number of the threads to get a feel for how things work around here. Be sure to re read the guidelines as well.I'd suggest that people will pay more attention to what you have to say if you make it easier for them to read.Please use paragraphs and put one or two spaces after the period on the end of sentences. That will be a good start to making things more readable.

I'm not sure where the topic this thread has wandered to.However, I'm pretty sure that it isn't "free will" which has been discussed in other threads. If someone wants to continue that discussion with cctman please take it there.Have a look up and down from this post: Message 97This message has been edited by AdminNosy, 11-03-2004 01:57 PM

Of course, a certain amount of wandering around a given topic is to be expected.However any major digressions which appear to require a lot of specific discussion should be taken to their own thread.If you find this too onerous a requirement cctman then perhaps this isn't the place for you.

The paragraphs make it much easier.May I ask that you also add spaces between sentences too? Thanks.Is English not your native language? If so we'll leave any further criticisms.

No, it's not a course in English and there is no forum requirement.We all make a variety of mistakes and/or typos.However, it is good general advice to watch the presenation of your ideas as well as the actual content. No one is immune to being subtlely influenced by a poor presentation and thinking worse of the presenter even if the ideas are very good. I don't worry about making some mistakes (and, for sure, don't even see them all ) but too many look sloppy and careless.Some people take the precaution of entering longer posts in a text processor of some sort. You can get an annoying "internal server error" just when you submit a lot of work. This can have the side effect of spell checking for you. I, obviously, rarely bother.In other words, no matter what is explicitly said -- spelling always counts. Just some advice.

ramoss, if you suggest that it is a poor translation you should be prepared to support that. Both with a better translation and why you think that there is a better translation.

cctman, I suggest you show a bit more patience. I see no rudeness in what was posted to you.I'm also suprised that you don't know more about the Bible that is important to you.One thing that I've learned here is that the translations do not all say the same thing. There have been a number of individuals who actually do understand the Hebrew who have posted here.It seems you may have something to learn. Be patient. You don't have to agree with what is said and should ask for support (as I have already done) when you don't agree. But wait till the support is shown before dismissing things out of hand.

Hello Angel, welcome to EvC.Could you use the "standard" way of quoting others.For example; If you use the red raw text button at the botton of this post you will see how I did that.When you are editing there is link on the left of the screen - UBB Code is ON" that will give you all the different tags you can use.
