1 | When was "In the Beginning" | Gen 1:1 | CDBJ | 17684 | ||
I guess I did get out of hand on that to a degree. It's just that he shot down not me, but the source of information, with out even reading what my source had to say. My source of information has been studying the Hebrew language for over 60 years now. I have been studying under him for about 32 years now. He writes it backwards faster then I can write English left to right. He also speaks Hebrew fluently and is a master at idiom. To top if off the comments that he made were where all covered in the booklet and answered in every point, showing the pros and cons and the whys, relating to Hank's statements. My anger was more pointed toward Hank's attitude then Hank himself. I have always tried to give a person the benefit of the doubt, at least until I can check it all out. I guess that my outburst is a good indication that I still have an old sin nature. CDBJ | ||||||

Greetings CDBJ! My friend, I appreciate your contributions to the Forum. This is a good opportunity for us all to reflect on how we respond to inviduals. I believe that we need to remember several things. a) We are all brothers and sisters in Christ (if indeed we have accepted Christ). b) We can all be wrong in our interpretations. c) The Bible is God's Word, not ours! d) We have an obligation to demonstrate the love of Christ. This doesn't mean that we can't have firm beliefs. I am not an advocate of wishy washy interpretation, simply saying that any passage can mean anything. We need to be firm in our beliefs, but we also need to be open to the possiblity that we are wrong. Unfortunately, not everyone will respond in the same way. Some who are wrong, will not accept truth. Even then, we should respond in love. If we all do this, we can have fruitful discussions about Scripture, by responding to points of view, not to personalities. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
