Sctt: You sure go through a lot of mental gymnastics and acrobatics to twist the scriptures to fit your notion of "the way things oughta be." Heard on Christian radio: "Look for people who always seem stuck on one over-emphasized point of theology. This is the person who bangs the proverbial drum for his own little area. Some crazy quirk. And it usually is not some great divine insight. They'd like you to think they're so close to God that they have a great divine insight that no one else has. The fact of the matter is they're seeking a platform for the feeding of their ego. Watch for people with a lack of balance." TEV) (2) A fool does not care whether he understands a thing or not; all he wants to do is show how smart he is. (15) Intelligent people are always eager and ready to learn. (ESV) (2) A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion. ... (15) An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge. (NLT) (2) Fools have no interest in understanding; they only want to air their own opinions. |

radioman, I am appeciative that you are here, but i have to say to you that you are being offensive and rude. This has been a normality on this forum for quite a while, and I feel "lets get down to where the rubber meets the road man". shouldn't we all be here for one another?? Check out what's going on in the world now? Shouldn't this be opening our eyes. In these countries where this is happening, we forget this is happening here too? Aren't we all here to learn from one another. Is it necessary to keep competing with one another? The Father's Wisdom is the answer, wouldn't you agree? SERENETIME | ||||||

NICE IS NOT THE POINT By CT Columnist Marilyn Chandler McEntyre From Christianity Today magazine, November 13, 2000 'Some time ago I read the synoptic Gospels with a group of literature students, only a few of whom professed to be "reasonably familiar" with the material in those books. We made our way through the Nativity stories, the Sermon on the Mount, the miracles, and the teachings. 'We struggled through some of Jesus' "hard sayings" and disconcerting acts, such as withering the fig tree and casting demons into swine. ("They were innocent swine!" someone protested. "They belonged to some innocent pig farmer!") I was glad for the chance to retrieve some of the shock value of stories so often flattened in an effort to make them palatable. 'As the unit on the Gospels drew to a close, I asked the professing Christians, "How has this reading of these accounts of Jesus' life and ministry changed your understanding of him?" A hand went up. "I don't know exactly how to put this," the young woman mused, "but this isn't the Jesus I grew up with. He doesn't seem very ... nice."'
