Who Skips Over Long Verses?

[626color]

Sometimes people, to prove a point, willl post 10 verses on this forum.

Do you skip over them? If so do you feel guilty?

Unless its posted by someone who usually avoids that and has interesting and intelligent points to make generally, yes - I skip them. But I particularly skip those with lots of colour and underlining. And those from unreadable translations.

Quantity does not necessarily mean quality.

I skip most elongated posts, particularly those with lots of colour, underlining or bold print.

Guilty of it here too.

As one who will usually paraphrase rather than quote book chapter and verse, let me make a point: (much more pertinent to newer believers)

guilt is an inferior counterfeit from Satan, trying to masquerade as what we all need from God, which is conviction. The word itself is the seed from which we grow, and praying for what the word says is the only way we can be sure we are praying according to the Father's will.

Depends if they were just quoting Bible verses for no apparent reason or not.

How long is an elongated post?

What assumptions are operative when you see a post with lots of color and underlining?

It's not so much assumptions as just finding them too hard to read.

I agree. To make matters worse, it seems that red is the color of choice.

Yes I do. As a matter of fact, I was doing it a few minuts ago.
