It is simply the avenue where I share my personal Christian beliefs. Whether or not someone chooses to agree with my views is entirely up to them. However, I will not waste my time with fruitless debates. I am too busy doing the Lord&#8217;s Work. We each must believe according to our personal faith, and sometimes the best route to take is to agree to disagree, and leave it at that. As the Apostle Paul wisely wrote:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;. . . Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.&#8221;<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Romans 14:5, KJV<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As such, while you may be tempted to do so, when commenting on my posts on the social networks, please refrain from divisive issues which may inflame others\u2019 passions. Too often, such topics can lead to heated exchanges which profit no one. Thank you for your consideration. If you would like to further explore my position regarding doctrinal debates, please consider reading the following two articles:<\/p>\n<p>Article: &#8220;Humility in Our Understanding of God&#8217;s Word&#8221;:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Article: 'Humility in Our Understanding of God's Word'\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billkochman.com\/Articles\/Humility-in-Our-Understanding-01.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.billkochman.com\/Articles\/Humility-in-Our-Understanding-01.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Article: &#8220;Should Christians Engage in Doctrinal Debates?&#8221;:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Article: 'Should Christians Engage in Doctrinal Debates?'\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billkochman.com\/Articles\/Doctrinal-Debate-01.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.billkochman.com\/Articles\/Doctrinal-Debate-01.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#SocialNetworks #SocialNetwork #GeneralMessages #Debate #Argue #DoctrinalDebate My friends, please remember that Bill\u2019s Bible Basics is not, and has never been, a debate forum.
