Someone on another list has a brilliant tag line, which says,
"A discussion is an exchange of knowledge, but an argument is
an exchange of ignorance."  I respectfully submit that, so long
as a discussion is friendly, informative, helpful, and beneficial,
it should be permitted; but if it is perceived as malicious and
harmful, it should be terminated.

Angel,

Yes, it does open the door for theological debate and it does happen.  It
has even happened when we have conducted Bible studies on the list.
However, the primary goal of echurch is support for our every day walk with
the Lord.  So, we aren't totally against some discussion but arguing and
debate can be done on hundreds of other Christian list so we just try to
keep it to a minimum here is all.

Phil.
