It already is. The internet was more or less invented to facilitate communication between high level scientists and academics. Even now, if you have serious questions about Koine Greek, or perhaps Masoretic Hebrew, there are academic listservs for that. Theological debates go on there, too, but of a much more reserved tone than what you find on FR. So there's nothing new about exegetical discourse online.

But because you won't answer my simple question, I cannot determine what your real objection is to discussing the word of God. Of course it is possible to distort the Scriptures. Satan even did it in tempting Christ. That did not stop Jesus from firing right back with correction based on Scripture, and He is our model, the one all believers should want to be like. His words are our spiritual food. They are more important to us than our physical food. Without them we starve. When His word dwells in us, we cannot help but to speak from the abundance of what is in our heart. It is who we are. To abandon the gift of Scripture we have been given would draw us into being unfaithful to Christ, and we cannot accommodate you or anyone else in that regard.

Peace,

SR
