Imagine the Apostle Paul posting on a forum. Would his mannerism be his main concern?

1.What would be his main objective?
2.Would use big words and fancy speech in his writings now, instead of how he wrote in plainness and power in the scriptures?
3.Did Paul say to imitate him?
4.Did anyone every get angry with Paul and the other Apostles for what the message they gave?
5.If Paul were to make a post today would his message be the same?
6.Would anyone disagree with him about the scripture meant as they did when he preached it?
7.What would Paul have to say to those who honored Allah today or were self serving?
8.What would he have say to those who had a Bible translation that excused them from giving to the church?
9.What would he have say to those who had more revelation to add to the things he had already written?
10.What would he have to say about the thread on calvinism and other doctines that have been given label many over the years?
11.What would the Apostle John say on his post?
12.What would the Apostle Peter say about the Apostle Paul's writings and the others and would they confirm each other?
13.Would any of them have anything to add to what they have already spoken that has been recorded in scripture?
14.Would they agree with what James wrote and agree works of faith and grace in being the same message as they wrote it?
15.I wonder if they would be more concerned on speaking the truth than anything else in their posts?
16.Would they agree with all the posts on SI?
17.Would they agree to rules of SI?
18.What would Paul have to say about a wide range of theological prospectives being ok?
19.You think Paul or any of the New Testament writers that wrote under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit would make good moderators? Would they get rebuttal of disagreement from others?

I don't know about SI, but on most "Christian Message Boards", Paul would have banned in less than a week. Probably 1 to 3 days.
John in about 3 weeks - maybe 2.

The problem is, we're not them.

:-)

Paul would have been just the same as if he were writing them on this forum, they are letters, it doesn't matter what format they come in, as long as they are read and heeded. Letters, Posts, Texts Messaging, notes, tis all the same....'to me'.

Have to echo Mike here, this is nonsense. When you get into this many questions and so forth, it becomes quite pedantic.

Rom 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
Rom 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another;
Rom 12:11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
Rom 12:12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
Rom 12:13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
Rom 12:14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
Rom 12:15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
Rom 12:16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
Rom 12:17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
Rom 12:18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Rom 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Rom 12:20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
Rom 12:21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Acts 26:25-30

25 But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.

26 For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.

27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.

28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.

29 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.

30 And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:

31 And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.

32 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.

My wife and I have missed church services two weeks in a row because of health issues. Although we can worship HIM at home as well as anywhere. It is great and a good thing to be with other brothers and sisters in corporate worship services, when possible. Be in prayer for us brother.

God Bless

Brother Moe, this is where "supporting the troops" really counts or where the rubber really meets the road in that phrase.
With you being a Disabled Veteran, not only should your Church understand, but so do we.
We support the Disabled Veterans too the hilt.
Why so many are homeless I cannot understand.
I got involved with those with GWS and it's a heartbreaker. And the rates of PTSD is higher than ever. That stuff gets me - you know ?

Well brother - I missed Church two weeks in a row - week before last and I know exactly what you mean.
That's what makes the Internet the only blessing for some of us. Fellowhship in our home, when we can't get out.
And brother, I don't know how many of these Message Boards or as most say here - Forums you've been to, but I'm glad you're here and Pray it is a blessing to you.
I'd venture to say, you wouldn't be happy at all on the others. Just guessing, but at the same time, speaking from experience. :-D
One Day we won't see through a glass darkly as we do now and we'll all have one mind - and I tend to believe, that will happen with us all, Before He Returns.
I just know that Paul, Peter, and John said Love came first.

IF we keep love and the peace within our 'own' hearts and it will spill over into our posts and it's contagious. I tested it at my job and God proved it's true. Took a good year to happen, but it did.
Bless you Brother and hang tight!
