Subject: What was reason for the virgin birth? |
Bible Note: Greetings John! First of all, I have never said anything about anyone not being tempted or not being able to be tempted. As you have posed your question you are changing the argument into something different then what I have presented regarding the original quote in question. We know every man can be tempted including Jesus. As I understand the way you have presented it, I don't see this as a valid question. If someone can't be tempted then there was no temptation to demote or promote. By the way, let me change the subject for a bit and speak to your concern for offending me or anyone else for that matter. First of all I appreciate your desire not to! Thank you! We should all be ever mindful of this and maintain a healthy fear of it and of creating division among the brothers and sisters in Christ. One thing you will find on the forum is at times with nothing more then text to go by there will be misunderstanding of ones intentions. Of course there are times the intentions are clear also ;-) But know this, you do not have to apologize to me every time you speak to me. I understood your desire not to continue and also your desire to engage once again. We may not agree on everything but as brothers in Christ we have a big problem if we can't discuss it together. It's just my opinion but I think when we get more comfortable on the forum like anywhere else we tend to be more at ease and be ourselves so to speak. We sit here typing away is if everyone knows our thoughts and moods and personalities and forget some times all the other person has to go on is text. Anyway, I have found you to be very gracious not rude and I for one enjoy the discussions! God Bless, Steve |
