It works differently than Chris' plugin in that:<br><br>(1) It doesn't use propiatery tags -- this means it can read scripture references within posts, pages, and comments without the need for tags like [scripture reference] ..ref .. [/scripture reference]<br><br>(2) It can run dynamically (change refs on the fly) or statically (change once for all on post/edit actions)<br><br>(3) It has the option to pull the ESV text for any reference on the page and to automatically display it via a show/hide link.Laurence O.Wed, 12 Oct 2005 00:15:48 -0000http://djchuang.disqus.com/enough_with_disagreements_already/#comment-2185594<blockquote>The thing is, dialogue takes a lot of time and effort, and being the busy Americans that we are, it seems we don’t have much time for it.</blockquote><br><br>Another thing is that perhaps the Internet puts elders and other church leaders in a position that they have never been in before: the position of (a) trying to dialog with the whole world (b) at light speed. The unrealistic scope and the speed of 21st century electronic theological dialog among church leaders can have a serious tendency to foster out of context critiques, immature and arrogant dialog, and shallow, faceless relationships and communities. In a word, no one man (save our Lord Jesus) is right about everything, and it would do well for us wanna-be "uber pastors" to stop trying to please the whole faceless blogosphere. Instead, we ought to spend more effort in remainging faithful to the communities in which God has placed us to be faithful bondservant-steward-shepherds.<br><br>Furthermore, some conversations (perhaps much of what passes for normal blog posts) ought to be private communications between the interested parties. Why multiply griefs unnecessarily by publishing them for the entire world (again, the scope issue)? Seems to me like this is pandering to immaturity.<br><br>(So, the obvious irony is that I am posting these thoughts on a blog, and I run two or three of my own. What do you elder elders think? Have blogs and the like benefited your ministry more than they have brought strife?)Laurence O.Tue, 10 Oct 2006 09:47:05 -0000
