Please know that this is a loving rebuke.
I have noticed many questions on this forum that believers
have answered , without perhaps first studying for the
correct answer. For example , I just read through a question
that said simply , Can satan tempt God, I saw many no answers. I few Yes answers. And only one maybe two correct answers. I do not have all the answers, and if someone ask
a question that I do not know I will either study it or say I do not
know. This in my opinion is a better witness than just saying
what we think or have been taught. It is so good to read for
ourselves and study to shew ourselves approved. I would like
you to consider the following scriptures please. And thank you
so much for giving an ear to hear.
Pro 9:7 ¶ He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked [man getteth] himself a blot. Pro 9:8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. Pro 9:9 Give [instruction] to a wise [man], and he will be yet wiser: teach a just [man], and he will increase in learning. Pro 9:10 The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy [is] understanding.

"PREACH THE WORD, in season and out...reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all patience and doctrine; for the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine...but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers telling them what they WANT to hear...." (2Tim.4:2)

I just take it that we have some young believers here too. I take it that like us "older" guys they will continue to progress as time goes along,and they stay in the Word. I recognize the need for more education concerning the scriptures, but I also personally applaud everyone here who is in the process, who's trying, and who is full of zeal for God. Amen.

I think that this is a very good place to learn. There is nothing wrong to be wrong and learn what is right. God can fix it if we mess up.
Remember that some of these people are pure children. I think we need all kind of answers here.

It's simple, Satan cannot tempt God.
James 1:13 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God," for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.

Opinions are what this place is about. Thanks for yours. However, you put your opinion in the question area, didn't you?
