1 | Supreme example of imitating God? | John 1:1 | DocTrinsograce | 207054 | ||
Hi, John... That wasn't precisely what I was thinking. The tendency is to get focused on the question itself, rather than to think about its implications. At any rate, most of these sorts of questions, even when they seem basic, aren't the fault of the questioner. I remember reading that the Roman Catholic church insisted that it needed pictures and statues and the like was because the people were so woefully ignorant, they could understand nothing more. John Calvin responded to that by saying, if the church had been doing what it was supposed to be doing, the people would not be so ignorant. Asking a question about the nature of God is a very blessed thing, for that is the beginning of wisdom. It is the church that should be embarrassed for failing to properly instruct them. Many pulpits even teach that knowledge is bad thing! :-( The fallen human heart is most vividly seen in clinging to self uplifting teaching despite the clear doctrine of Scripture. In Him, Doc |

Oh My, my sincere apologies to Beverly! I did not intend to point a finger at her at all! I should have made that very clear, thank you, Doc, for point that out, I'm very sorry for that. :-( What you said was pretty much what I was thinking. Thanks again Doc, you are such a blessing. God bless John |
