Difference Between a Blog and A Repost

One is original — another is marginal plagiarism anyone could find with access to a search engine

Excellent— what is the precise word for the reposting of 3rd party articles? Pray tell!

 

[Galathah]

Is this a request for prayer or just a comment on what trollers do? People need the Lord and need to hear Gods word. Be a blessing to them and show them the way to reach heaven. By all means, save some.

Ive been around to see 11 presidents come and go. I can tell your young, get the chip off of you shoulder.

Who is even thinking about Presidents? I am wondering if blogs should be original and separate from excessive posts from some devotional we could find online if we were inquisitive...

Alright we can talk about that subject. Most people simply post videos, etc. to try to get a discussion going about the subject in the video or paste. On the other hand, I Post a music video of the Lords prayer in which I arranged, wrote, and recorded music, and vocals. Though the words belong to the lord.( Praise Jesus ), I own the recording and share it freely with every one for the lord. Others have their own videos or writings on here also. A lot of us also repost or copy bible passages that are certainly not written by us, so I guess that would mean that all of us have done our share of reposting. ( Please keep reposting scripture. Amen ) Lets forgive if we misunderstood each other and stay friends. God bless you

Brother when blogging, we predominantly get the info from one source i.e. the bible, so it will always have similarities. That's pretty much what sharing the gospel is all about. I've been around a long time and even most sermons are not new under the sun. How can subjects be vastly different?
I could say 'same old, same old' but I understand that the blog is not always intended for me but for others including new Christians. Christian leaders often uses other people 'catch phrases" when preaching. They may even built on a colleague's principal. Just look at Christian history.

When I observe a situation around me that needs blogging (like a behavioral issue) I will address it on a blog. I know full well that it has probably been covered. I use scriptures to reinforce my message but...you are right, it most likely been shared before. Why don't you share a constructive comment on a blog to add to the topic? Great conversation can start that way.

Now what about intent? Should you not consider a blogger's motive before deeming a piece as rehashed message? No one gets paid here, no one reaps anykind of benefits from blogging except for being in obedience to the Lord ( I hope that's why they do it). Most people on this site will probably know the direction of the blog long before they finish reading it. Some lines may be used from others because they are attention grabbers but what of it? The bloggers are just trying to get a point across.
Now as a former journalist, I have learned to list all sources. I have no objection in adhering to this standard If pradmin desires us to do so. But I never observed any such demands placed by the admin.

But for the record I do enjoy reading other people's blogs even though for the most part, I know where the message is going. Keep them coming people!

Let's not discourage any messages when they are rooted in biblical scriptures.

 

[Altersong]

All posts should be a blessing to everyone. Gods word is alive and can change and instruct anyone who reads with an open heart. Of course it should be original and biblical. The fundamentals of our faith reside in Gods word. If someone is posting heretical prophesies or other human ideas then it should be challenged by what Gods word says. For instance. The assumption of Mary into heaven. Is this biblical? It tells us the truth? No, The bible does not mention that Mary went to heaven just as Jesus did.
