Forum Guidelines
Statement:
It seems inevitable, given fallen human nature, that comments in forums can quickly devolve into non-constructive jousting. I cannot afford the time or energy to play ringmaster for such a circus as this could become. This experimental project will seem controversial to some and that means forum troubles. But I value input given in a civil way, and so I must impose strict limitations on how the information flows through this site; not to hinder it, but to keep it flowing.
Forum Guidelines:
Some who know much of God's Word might not hesitate to label The TENT as heresy because it is so different in places that they feel their faith is under attack. Nothing could be further from the truth. Since The TENT is based on a coherent and transparent lexicon, it is the lexicon that must be examined, defended or criticized. Most perceived problems should center on the one or more lexicon words that are in question, and should be investigated and discussed rationally.
Concern for the accuracy of God's Word is entirely understandable, and its accuracy is always worthy of examination. That is why this experiment exists. Please keep your comments constructive and helpful. The TENT Lexicon was created based on the importance of grammatical accuracy, transparency and consistency. Those are its evidences. If someone has a more grammatically accurate, or a more transparently and consistently translated NT text, please give specifics so that any insufficiency in the TENT Lexicon can be corrected.

Emailing
By emailing the TENT contact address at page bottom, anything you send to us gives us permission to quote from it in any TENT website FAQ or Comment section, etc. The quote will be attributed to only the first name or initials you give, never last names or email addresses.
Emails with any attachments or live links will be deleted.
We cannot be held responsible for any perceived delays in email replies. If you are beginning to worry, resend it and pray for us.
Your question may be answered somewhere on the website, or doing a word study on a TENT Lexicon entry may give you your answer. My apologies that this beta website has no search function...yet.
I made the Lexicon accurate, consistent and transparent, so people could learn for themselves as I did. As soon as the TENT Lexicon goes live and you download it, you can take advantage of the Semantic Search feature of the TENT Lexicon described on the bottom half of this website's "Transparent" page to uncover word relationships hidden in compound words. If these prove inadequate to answer your question, then please email.
Personal emails will be answered if I think they require one - no guarantees, emailing is not my favorite pastime and I will at some time die. Thank you for your consideration. However, if you are a scripture teacher or researcher and find I have made a blunder, please use the Express Emailing option #3 below.
For me to handle all TENT related emails, I need to sort them, so please use this Express Email mode described below. If you do not use the email subject line in one of these ways, you may not receive an answer. Also remember, emails with attachments or live links will be deleted.
