I agree with the long posts.
Although here is a solution.
You can always copy and paste it into Word or another writing program that you have installed, save the file on a disc.
Read it later offline.
God bless you

Romans 9:11-24

Our Eschatology may vary even our Ecclesiology may be disputed among us but our Soteriology most assume a singularity and exclusivity which in biblical term is known as Quote; "The Narrow Way" and Quote!

Well Amber; I find that some people NEED to be totally understood. and the only way they can accomplish that is to quote everything in sight. Others have a need to feel important, and let everybody know how brilliant they are. Still others are contientious [sic] students of the Bible and are very sincere in their long Biblical exerpts.

I do feel, as you, that some posts are more that overlong, and some people need to know that true knowlege comes with brevity.

God Bless

I feel the same way, and I don't even limit my computer time. I've gotten to just skipping over almost all long posts, so whatever wisdom and insight you thought needed a 3 page post to explain is totally lost on me. I don't need reams of scripture copied and pasted. I have several Bibles in my house and a few on my computer. Sure, if one or two verses will help to prove your point, please include them. That saves me the time spent looking them up. But we don't need whole chapters or books cut and pasted here. Please keep it as brief as possible. Some of us are missing a lot of good insight here because of gargantuan posts.

I don't mean to be rude, but I would like to know how many of us spend hours and hours on this writing these realy realy long articles? I would much rather have shorter things that I can devote five minutes to, than an article I can't even finish in the hour I allow myself to be on the computer a day. My priorities will not allow for me to be on longer, but the longer articles seem interesting, but I can't, because they are SO long.
My statement is in no way telling anyone they are wrong, that is not my intent, just why so long? [Bang Head]
