What defined a good Religious answerer here..?

Question

That you cut and paste scriptures or you answer with your own wit and knowledge with your own words.

Well Kenneth, should I give u a thumbs down for insulting my religion or should I give you a thumbs up for admitting I'm cool...so make up your mind.

Answer 1

For me, the answer given by our own seems more convincing......or sometimes you may add something from scripture to prove your point when asked...otherwise mostly i like those answers which are given on their own !!and they explain it in their own words!!

Answer 2

This is the second time in the last five minutes that I've run into tired phrases that I have heard used in a derogatory fashion. In this comment, it's "cut and paste". In another, it was "selective scripture."

Can we just clarify, please, what "good" is? What does "own words" mean? I identify myself as being a speaker of English as my native language, although I claim no superiority over any other language speaker. I am not a speaker of "Kerry language" although my words do reflect my recent study and research.

I quote scripture and I've had answers deleted apparently because of it. Is there such a derogatory term as "cut and paste Shakespeare"? What would "selective Shakespeare" sound like? I did the "to be or not to be" section for a drama piece at school. Is it unintelligible without the rest of the script? Does it need outside interpretation, or personal interpretation...? Most importantly, do you need to read the subtext out while you're performing so that everybody knows that you put some "wit and knowledge" into it? No, you don't. It's enough to have attempted it.

Hear ye, hear all. This question is life-denying. It is language-denying. It is trying-denying. It is final-question-mark instead of full stop-denying. I think it should be deleted. I demand it. I require it. I'm stamping my feet. That's a lie. I'm listening to Sarah Brightman. I'm waiting until the CD fails because I've played it so many times. I'm a Christian prophet and I'm ready to pronounce. (That's what the head covering in the avatar is for.)

Random scripture heuristic (found by flipping open the Bible randomly):
Just before I do that, can we also please define "hyperlexia"? Some symptoms are: reversal of pronouns, verbosity but little understanding of the meaning, inability to begin conversations on topics of interest to self.

If you have a mental block when it comes to scripture, that basically means that your experience has told you that it is going to divide your soul and spirit (Hebrews 4:12). What does that mean? For one thing, scripture encourages us to say thank you. The word "is", for example, signifies a metaphor. It does not signify an assertion of fact that can only be interpreted one way. This would be a geocentric point of view as adopted by the oligarchs that run our society. It gets worse every so often, and I think it's particularly bad right now in Australia. 1990 was bad too, during the recession when Kerry Packer wanted to own all the media.

Why don't you just assume, in view of the vastness and importance of the issues in the world in which we live, that people who reply are interested in keeping in touch with others, which is a far sight better than letting people get isolated?

Answer 3

There's a time for cut and paste, but I think excessive Ctrl-V is a pretty easy trap for some people to fall into.

I've posted the lyrics to an entire song once on here. Otherwise, I try to keep it to a few lines or a link (especially when the question is "Is there a source where...").

Answer 4

It usually depends upon the question and both have their own benefits.

Sometimes our knowledge is limited to some particualr question and in order to help th one who is asking you try to do a simple research. This thing also helps us enhance our knowledge over any particular subject.

Other wise most of the questions are asked in terms of "your opinion"and a posting from net is usually worthless as it is of no help.

I particualrly beleive that if a question has an answer easily available through research than it should not be asked here.

Answer 5

I don't cut and paste. I try to answer with what I know, but if I can't remember an answer or something, then I do look to the scriptures. I always find my answer there.

Answer 6

It is my opinion, one should always answer with their own words. Cut and paste is lazy and a cop out for those who can't formulate their own words. Using a quote to back up your opinion is okay ... just not an entire answer covering an entire screen, cut and pasted. I won't even read those.

Answer 7

The point of this forum is for some original thinking. Get peoples own interpretations of things they've read. It's fine to post a link to more info.

Answer 8

Usually when I cut and paste, I either paste my own words or I try to whittle it down to the main point instead of pasting a huge block.

Answer 9

There is no good Religion, every Religion have some good and bad points, Religion causes more death and wars then any thing(you can refer the world history), So believe in God not in Religion, because God is only one in many name.

Answer 10

Answering reasonably asked questions with scripture insures Jesus Christ's truth are presented. This is mandatory. Lies are not acceptable. Opinions on the other hand are my way of showing disdain for stupidity.
