True. Since anyone able to read out there has as much access to research material as I do I am somewhat reluctant to do for others what is really their personal responsibility-to do as Paul said at 1 Thes. 5:21.
You are absolutely right. However, people are generally too lazy to investigate WHY they believe WHAT they believe. They would rather just make unjustified remarks that seek to confound any issue raised. There is a bad side to using the internet to find information for the greatest amount of it is based upon bias and philosophy - the ideas of men versus what is taught in Scritures.
I Thess. 5:21 speaks of "times and seasons," not of doing research. However, in Act 17:11 we do find a verse that is pertinent, as I'm somewhat sure you would agree. It is always more noble, to use Paul's word, to do the research yourself to see if what is said is true - which does, in a way, make it incumbant upon individuals to do their own investigating.
