Yeah, we could, but... did you stop and think about what you just said? You just said that you don't have a very high rating, and that makes you consider the value of your own words. Why is that a bad thing? However, instead of looking inward, you just ignored judging yourself and asked to have it all removed because you felt bad. Is it unreasonable to think that's why your overall score isn't higher? Would you like me to go over past posts with you to show you why that might be the case?
Of all the members on the forum, I'll tell you who has the highest percentage of posts/edification ratio, which means it's the person (as of right now) who has posted the least, but has the highest rating. That's actually Tim. As of this post, he has 41 posts and 15 edification points, which means he's around 35-40% rating for his posts. Why do you think that is? Tim doesn't speak a whole lot, but when he does, his words are incredibly valuable, well thought-out, and very helpful because he gives us the Word of God and explains it very well, oftentimes better than I can.
Now take myself, who I have posted more than anyone else on this forum, and a lot of times, very time-consuming materials. My percentage rating is about 3%. I get less than a tenth of what Tim gets; is that respecting persons? But you've never seen me complain about it. Would you like to know why? Because I know I'm not deserving of it in the first place, and I'm glad that Tim gets them because he is deserving of it, which is what the Bible tells us we ought to do if we have humble hearts of repentance:
Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
-Phil 2:3-4
Perhaps this is a great opportunity to stop thinking selflishly, and start thinking, "Wow, I'm thankful Kenneth is getting a lot of edification from the church for his street preaching," or "Hey, Silindile gets a lot of edification from the church for her in depth discussion and humble, well-thought out posts that show a lot of her love and care for us."
But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
-Matthew 20:26-28
If we can't do that with the little things, how are we going to do that with the big things?
He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
-Luke 16:10
